opensource Open Source What is the best FOSS alarm clock app?

    Thats not necessarily dead, some FOSS projects move very slow as these are not the dev's day job. And slow development doesnt equal non-functional. Especially for something as simple as an alarm clock.

    It sounds like at least some of the features released in 4.0 were needed to make that work. Glide typing got disabled as a result of the new framework, so it's definitely on its way (more now than before)

    If you download the client, it's just an electron app, so all of the bits written in js/css/etc are sitting right there in the client itself. People have used this to repackage it with customizations, such as webcord (nicer user experience on Linux) and others.

    As for the compiled bits... well, every binary executable is open source if you're brave enough

    The code is very auditable. I have not audited it myself though so I have no idea if it's actually good, but you can absolutely audit it.

    EDIT: Just read through the Javascript portion, which seems incredibly anemic. Each file is like 20 to 40 lines of code max. I did notice there is a C++ folder though, I'm guessing that's where the meat and potatoes are.

    With this sentence here, you brushed off a very valid reason to not use a CLA, and then failed to mention that reason in your comment.

    He specifically said he is against taking copyright away from the developers that wrote the code. The way you commented on the CLA issue reads as though you intentionally left this part out, as his legitimate reasoning for it would go against your views on the matter.

    Please accurately represent the people you are quoting next time.

    Why is work not providing a laptop to you? Making/allowing you do work on a BYOD is insanity from a security perspective. I hope your company doesn't have to go through PCI compliance audits or do any kind of transactions with the general public's credit cards...

    To be clear: what I wrote here is not a linux user's opinion, but rather someone who works infosec for a Windows-based organization.

    With that being said, you can use O365 apps through the browser just fine as long as you work out of your OneDrive or your team's SharePoint storage exclusively. You can even use Outlook/Exchange through O365.

    But if you can, I'd push for a company laptop even if you stick with your Macs. Mixing personal devices with work is a baaaaad idea for both parties.

    Third party launchers are the LAST thing we need, and would provide no benefit that the game itself doesn't already provide.

    Minecraft needs launchers because of the lack of built-in mod support and the fact that its closed source. Minetest is the opposite of these things.

    I submitted a pull request to change the English user-facing strings to exclude the words "Reddit," "Subreddit," and "Multireddit" wherever possible, but there are still more languages to translate.

    If you would like to contribute, please consider making a fork of the repo and updating the language strings for your native language. Take care not to change the actual variable names (i.e. leave the word "reddit" and "subreddit" in the variable tags, but change the actual string values). The languages are available in this folder here, in the various `values-...` folders: https://github.com/bqv/slide/tree/lemmy/app/src/main/res If you'd like to see my commit as an example of what I did to base yours off of, you can see it here: https://github.com/bqv/slide/pull/2/commits/f346de0ef40b3fb87a9d420d969f2f16edc874a5
