Potential decline of tchncs donations
  • erAck erAck Now 100%

    I don't think (or, let's hope..) that the current decline is a general overall decline, but rather a before summer decline like in 2023 before vacation where people tend to spend money on their and their families' recreation.

    Try Shift+Ctrl+J to toggle Full Screen. If that doesn't work (non-English UI, other key bindings, ...) try Shift+Esc that presents a search command input field, enter full and it should list "View -> Full Screen" (in English UI); hit that.

  • Discussion about unicode, fonts and transliteration.
  • erAck erAck Now 100%

    Depends on what your language's script is then with assigned Unicode characters, how wide-spread it is, when fonts will support the glyphs, and what you mean by "changes to be available on my local OS". What OS? What does available mean here? Do you expect the OS UI to be in your language? Doubtful. Some desktop environment maybe somewhen. Programs using ICU are more likely to support specific script related features (e.g. word/line breaking, transliteration) when ICU will support Unicode 16 in its next version. Locale specifics may have to wait for or could be contributed to CLDR that is also used by ICU. Availability of any UI in the language mostly depends on whether translators contribute to the relevant projects.

    They are "looking for a more private" client. With the centralized Discord service that does anything it wants with any message there is no such thing.

    There was the particular LiMux one in Munich that was "solved" by Microsoft moving their head quarter to a district of Munich and the then new conservative coalition in town government thanked them by rolling all back and buying MS products instead.

    Someone gave a little overview in that Hacker News topic mentioned.

    Making one a maintainer (with merge and possibly even direct commit/push permissions) is handing them a key to the kingdom. Recruiting a maintainer out of the blue without them being already contributor and long term participant in the project is questionable.

    Malicious account holders with a long term goal need to build reputation. It doesn't matter much that such an app isn't a dependency of other software.
