  • I’m unfortunately not aware.

    What I do know is that D-Bus (and not “DBus”) apparently doesn’t work with MIME types directly. I may have been misinformed here - but this is some information I have received.

    Essentially, the data sent cannot be assigned a type or format.

    On the web, all data sent by a server has a MIME type (“text/html”, “image/png”, “video/mp4”).

    Android’s system for inter-process (“running program”) communication, intents, does include.
    …Even Windows does, with its whatever complicated APIs.
    D-Bus doesn’t, so Tuxes too, don’t. …Yet.

    D-Bus is apparently also not secure enough. Probably not as bad as X11, but not good enough.

    So far, KDE and GNOME have had their own " wrapper" systems to allow using D-Bus through a layer of their code to cover little inconveniences like this.









  • DuckStation recently changed to a source-available license that prohibits distributing modified versions of the software and prohibits commercial use. Before, it was GPLv3.

    DuckStation is an emulator for some Sony PlayStation console. PS2, I think Thanks to [email protected] I know that it was a PS1 emulator. This software used to be given to users under the GPLv3 license, which grants freedoms such as distribution of the source code of the software (DuckStation) for no extra cost (well, DuckStation also costs no money! …so, you get to eat the cake and learn its recipe too, for free!).

    …Now they’ve switched to a license which allows you to see the source code, but does not grant you rights over the source code that GPLv3 did (which is essentially ANYTHING as long as you publicize everything you make with the source code, under the GPLv3 license also - changes to the code, new software that uses any portion of the code, anything you make with it).

    OpenOffice, Emby, Audacity, and Android (the “Android Open-Source Project”) have also done this in the past.

    Knowing this stuff on Free, Libre, and Open-Source (“FLOSS”) platforms like Lemmy is almost necessary given that they’re built on these principles. Please get acquainted with them.

    Sorry that I can’t help with finding the source… But anyway:

    This is me. This is literally me.

    Another thing in me occurs when people appreciate me, and I often feel like they’re lyin’ to me just to keep me encouraged.

    ALL the time!

    Did anybody here see that one of Jaiden Animations’ videos? This additional, last fact was mentioned there too…
