Mbin is a fork of kbin: a decentralized content aggregator running on the Fediverse network

Reply in thread

Hi there, mbin dev member here. I do not know melroy personally, but I have never gotten the vibe that he is egotistical or wants to make the project his own. Never heard that he contributed to Lemmy...

Btw. we do not have a lead dev. He is the repo owner though

The core problem I had with kbin was that Ernest is just the kind of person who likes to work alone and in his own ways. That is just not a good fit for a project that gets contributions from the community (which I think he is not interested in). For example: I implemented a subscription panel in June/July 2023 and it got no reply from ernest for months. Then he replied once with the things he wanted changed and I did, then no reply anymore. I think it is still not implemented, but I lost intered. After I opened a PR about adding the same code to mbin I got some replies, answered them, changed the stuff that was complained about and voilá it got approved... It is just not encouraging to contribute to a project where your changes get accepted after a year if you're lucky. Mbin is just more open to people contributing.

But yeah the start was rocky as can be seen here: https://kbin.social/m/fediverse/t/610675

EV that does not track my every move

That said, your phone shares all that data already, it being shared by another device is not really much different than coming from one source.

That is imo neither here or there. It is about the car. "Another device is also bad so its irrelevant" is just not a good response.

Mozilla is NOT SELLING your DATA! (But they did mess up…)

Reply in thread

If what they have been doing for a while, is now legally "selling your data" in California they just cannot state "we will never sell your data", as the definition of what is meant by "selling data" exactly is not the same everywhere...

They should not have deleted that statement and just clarify it instead of their absolutely messy changes...
