U.S. officials urge Americans to use encrypted apps amid unprecedented cyberattack in c/technology@lemmy.world

I vaguely recall Bruce Schneier saying that there is good evidence that the NSA cannot crack certain encryption methods. At the time, RSA was on the list. Maybe common methods mean roll-your-own corporate encryption, but it's my understanding that GNUpg and similar software are safe.

Should I Create A Rust or C Wikibook? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Folks, I need a hobby. I'm a C programmer who has lost his passion for programming, it seems. I've decided to try to spark my passion again by going back to the basics, perhaps by creating a programming tutorial Wikibook, for modern applications.

The trouble is, I cannot decide if I should make C or Rust my programming language of choice.

I use C all the time, and have barely any experience in Rust.

Do I go with ol' reliable and risk being outdated in a few years, or go with the new language and risk being too niche and unpopular?

What Apps Are Missing on Mobile Linux? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hey everyone, I'm going insane due to a lack of creative project. I've written an app already but I haven't gotten around to publishing it yet. I'd like to know what kind of apps you'd like to see created for mobile Linux. I prefer easier, bite-sized projects over particularly large ones, but I'd love to hear your ideas nevertheless.

Damn. I know this life. I don't wish it on anyone, except those who exposed me to it...

Collaging with the Library’s Digital Collections in c/libre_culture@sh.itjust.works

Really cool stuff! I knew the Library of Congress is competing to be the largest library in the world, but I never would have guessed that they had programs that encourage reuse like this!

Hey, sorry for the late reply.

I've put this in the sidebar as a definition:

"The Libre Culture movement, also called the Free Culture movement, is a social movement constructed around the free exchange of ideas."

The movement is more nuanced than this, but I believe that this definition does a great job of summarizing the main, common goal that we share. What do you think?

Thank you very much! I hope I can make it work how I envision it.

Libre Software Wishlist - What Apps Do You Want to See Made? in c/libre_culture@sh.itjust.works

I definitely agree with that. I wish people recognized the movement in general.

Libre Software Wishlist - What Apps Do You Want to See Made? (sh.itjust.works)
 

For me, I really want to see a time-sink game be made for mobile Linux phones. I'm working on something like one, but I'm not confident in my approach.

How about you guys? What do you want to see made?

What Would You Like to See in the Sidebar? (sh.itjust.works)
 

As the title asks. I'd like to make this place the go-to libre culture forum, since so many others are dead.

A definition of libre culture, surely. I was thinking of keeping the rules sparse and broad, the usual "don't be rude" rules, but I was also thinking of adding a list of the kind of posts that are allowed here, such as memes and support requests, to help stimulate activity. If those kinds of posts aren't desired, I can make dedicated communities for those kinds of posts anyways.

What do you guys think?

More than once a week is pretty frequent, remember to give time to yourself. As for the sidebar, I haven't decided what I want to put there yet, but I think I've got an idea.

A set of rules, but also a set of posts that are allowed. I think I'd like to make a post asking what people want to see in the sidebar.

Ooh, there's also Shattered Pixel Dungeon, which I believe is a spin-off of the original. I could write a review, but I tried writing game reviews once before, and faced criticism for how poorly I had done it. Maybe I could consider trying again.

Whoa, this was far more thorough than I expected! It was long, but it wasn't boring. It was just the right length in my opinion. As for the game, I'll definitely try it out, I honestly had no idea it existed!

Check out Freeciv by the way, a libre civilization clone. It's my personal favourite. As for games that aren't clones, there's an Android game called Doors of Doom. I've been thinking about making a game inspired from it for Linux, both mobile and desktop, but I'm not sure how I feel about it yet.

I'd love to see your reviews!

A Living Libre Culture Subforum (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hey everyone, I've decided to create this subforum as an attempt to strengthen discussion around libre culture on Lemmy. Most libre culture subforums are fairly dead, with few having more than one post in just the last year.

I'm going to do what I can to make this place as active as possible.

Let's get the ball rolling! Post your memes, favourite apps, libre software support questions, libre software you wish existed, and everything else related to libre culture!
