Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Crash on upload screen (Desktop app)
Maybe open issue to github repo. I think there was similar, but it seem to have been fixed https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop/issues/7732

What is next?
I've also been worried about the lack of activity on GitHub. It looks like development on lbry-desktop halted back in Nov.
- The beginning of the end? Specific files are being “disabled” from the ocean we love to sail. Are they just experiencing server issues? Seems unlikely. Only time will tell. “Disabled” means a manual action. This is not good. Hoping to see mass re-uploads for the creators files who got disabled.

Working with the Progress Bar in the Desktop Client
Not sure, but I think that you want to have your code in this file.(And in matching file for list view if you want to support both) https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop/blob/master/ui/component/claimPreviewTile/view.jsx

LBRY Desktop client does not include Rewards/ Invites anymore.
I don't know, but guessing that blocking content will be left solely to hub servers. Currently app is also using some other filtering lists. https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop/issues/7681

Why is my Optimize and Transcode Video box unticked and greyed out even though I have Automatic Transcoding with FFmpeg correctly configured? The same setting is selected on my old PC even though FFmpeg is not even configured so I'm confused.
Seems to be broken on latest version, opened issue here https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop/issues/7685

Alt Text box can't fit one screenshot of text
Interestingly there is some discussion for Mastodon with people asking the limit to be smaller, which raises the question as to the purpose of alt text, and how to properly handle larger text lengths in screen reader programs.

Open source at Fastly is getting opener
Through the Fast Forward program, we give free services and support to open source projects and the nonprofits that support them.

Bluesky announces data federation for self hosters
Mastodon DMs have absolutely no privacy: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/18079
For a decentralized protocol doing things right is much more important than doing things fast, it is very difficult (and in a lot of cases impossible) to break backwards compatibility.

Ask HN: Best practice for posting links to large Mastodon threads?
Postmortem on what happened here: https://news.ycombinator.com/edit?id=39305884
The v1 API of Mastodon limits the size of the tree that it will expand for users who are not logged into the server: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/blob/main/app/controllers/api/v1/statuses_controller.rb . I am guessing that this or some similar limit applies to threads being returned to unauthenticated users of the web UI. It just arbitrarily stops expanding the replies at some point, including the main thread from the OP.
If a thread is truncated, users expect it to expand automatically and autoscroll when you hit the bottom. In my desktop browser, that does not occur, and there is no indication that there is more to see. This is the situation of the web interface as of Mastodon version 4.2.5.
The issue is very sensitive to observer conditions. If you are logged into the server, the behavior is different. If you use a Mastodon app instead of the web, the behavior might be different. As the tree expands, the cutoffs become different. If you look at the thread on a different Mastodon server, the tree is different because every server has its own view of the Fediverse.
HN needs a best practice for linking to Mastodon threads in a way that provides a consistent experience to HN readers. The average Mastodon server would be crushed by hundreds of HN readers grabbing the entirety of a huge thread all at once, so this might involve some thread-unroll-and-cache service. I tried https://mastoreader.io/ but it did not solve the problem.
Alternately, we push changes into the Mastodon web UI to warn users when they need to click to see more and assume that people will get used to the navigation.
Suggestions?

Unity's Open-Source Double Standard: The Ban of VLC
>You can defeat the Affero clause by putting the software behind a proxy, for example
Could someone elaborate on this? This is NOT my understanding of the license, and it seems absurd considering e.g. Mastodon is AGPL but the standard install requires a reverse proxy[1]. If using a proxy defeats Affero, why would the Mastodon team do this? Are they stupid?

Welcome to the public domain, Steamboat Willie
Didn't say anything about freedom of speech. And again: I'm not the one to talk to. I don't have any strong feelings on the topic, but if you do, you should take it somewhere that people who can do something about it will see.
I tried to find an existing discussion to help get you started, but couldn't. You can start one here: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues
It's easy to sit here on Hacker News and say "they should just..."
Coming up with a standard for an international project will be a long, noisy discussion. You'll tread on internecine conflicts you had no idea about. Old wounds from past related discussions will come out. People will soapbox.
This is why I have no interest in discussing it. It probably won't go anywhere in a place where it actually could. It definitely won't here.
