@jamie@zomglol.wtf huh? What wording and OS is that? I just checked the permissions page on Android and it's not required there. Could it be the Bluetooth permission, which makes sense for headsets and such? 🤔

@enigmax@mstdn.social @EC_DIGIT@ec.social-network.europa.eu @EC_OSPO@ec.social-network.europa.eu but GitLab is not proprietary, isn't it? And you can host it wherever you want too. EDIT: ah, I didn't see your other post before ( https://mstdn.social/@enigmax/116211911791127284 ). Your concern is about the ultimate features. That won't explain the hosting argument though. This topic is pretty difficult though. I prefer FOSS everywhere but I don't have a definitive answer on how to have sustainable development on it. How do you allow professionals to make a living from FOSS?

@enigmax@mstdn.social @EC_DIGIT@ec.social-network.europa.eu @EC_OSPO@ec.social-network.europa.eu I'm pretty sure that the instance is older than Forgejo. And otherwise it's FOSS. So everybody can fork GitLab the same way as gitea forked gogs and Forgejo forked gitea. Do you have any concerns in particular that would make a difference based on where certain people of FOSS are based in? Do you generally avoid FOSS where the maintainers live in the US? Honest question because I'm pretty sure missing something here‽

@emma I found the book on Amazon and put its link to the @whysfoxes account profile but if there's an official place to buy it, it would be great for many. I often got asked where to buy it.

@jstepien@mastodon.social /CC @rosa@tu.social not really related to your talk but still Unicode related. And yes, in my brain you're now also associated with "everything Unicode" since I watched your talk 😂

@freddy@social.security.plumbing @simon@fedi.simonwillison.net the Firefox features make sense though, don't they? 🤔
