Person uninformed about these things here with an uninformed question: What are the chances that the Mozilla Foundation itself can be forked like the code can be?

Right the fuck now Europe needs to eliminate or at least HIGHLY reduce dependency on America in all fields

I hate that this happens, because he’s a goddamned prophet when it comes to software freedom, the harms of proprietary dev models and related stuff, he’s also in mastodon and regularly posts about international news i see no one else mention, but damn there’s just no coming back from all this shit, how the hell would you share stuff he has said with all this gross stuff staining him? Goddammit, Stallman, you were supposed to be at least an OK person!

MANY of the old places of the internet are still active, heavily overshadowed by the current centralized feudal web of 5 websites all with screenshots of each other but STILL alive. Hell, even IRC is still running, and i understand so does Usenet!

Okay, I’m going to start using “the panda colored ball” to refer to football balls just to annoy my football fan friends

So, appealing to actual fucking nazis isn’t actually profitable? Oh noes!

There should be a crowdfunding to project a giant looping video of this mod in front of their offices for a year

Okay, i chuckled at this one

I understood it was Google-only, great to be mistaken about it. Still, the app should also support that geojson importation format too, there shouldn’t be a need for external tools, SPECIALLY since it’s what Google Takeout gives you, this very much should be a feature of the app.

Good and all, but as somebody mentioned on the Masto comments this shouldn’t be needed, this is taking an open JSON file and turning it into a proprietary Google-only format so that Organic Maps can import it, that feature should be on the app itself already.

Also as you’re uploading that data to a random website you’re effectively doxxing yourself as your important addresses likely will be there, your home, your workplace, etc.

Edit: Was mistaken and corrected below, the format IS a standard, not proprietary, in addition the author answered in Masto clarifying that all the conversion happens in the browser without uploading anything. That said, i do insist that the app should support uploading in this geojson format, specially since it’s what Google Takeout gives you

Somebody was suggesting this was deliberately done to bleed Pocketpair out of money and halt development that way, patent cases take years to be solved, and all during this time they have to keep paying lawyers. Nintendo likely has a small army of in-house lawyers so it’s no trouble to them, but to their victims it’s life-ruining.

Naturists and the topfreedom movement also face these same challenges, all with the same root cause

Heh, Quato Lives after all

Well, you’re on Lemmy, one of a gazillion examples of this working

Maybe it would be worth it to check if this is a known reported bug and follow it

I refuse to dignify this ragebait with a click

There’s absolutely nothing preventing it

They’re not

Reproduced here, Chromium on Linux Mint desktop. You need to have open a Google.com site for it to work though.

Great! Must have missed the announcement as usual but no matter, looking forward to it!
