What is that link?

Beuh, fuck the HDMI forum. I hope the spec is leaked and somebody just makes a kernel module which implements it.

It will be replaced by GDMI which the Chinese invented in the future anyway.

I really suggest you read the post. Your arguments have already been addressed there. GPL and AGPL do absolutely nothing for maintainer and dev compensation.

The community has told us that “open source” has a particular meaning to them and suggested we call it “source available” instead. We have been reluctant to do so for numerous reasons .

I suggest you read the article as you are simply using the OSI bible. The bible of those calling AI code opensource , mind you.

Because Microsoft

Our use of the term “open source” thus far has been not out of carelessness, but out of disdain for OSI approved licenses which nevertheless allow developers to be exploited by large corporate interests. The OSI, an organization with confidential charter members and large corporate sponsors, does not have any legal right to say what is and is not “open source”. It is arrogant of them to lay claim to the definition.

I’m 100% onboard with this. FUTO is opensource in all the ways I care about. It’s anti-bigtech and pro compensation of maintainers and developers. They are good in my book.

AOC is a programmer?

Actual value creator probably earns less than somebody working at some surveillance tech company invading people’s privacy.

KDE Connect

Allows connecting to other devices with KDE connect and sharing files, controlling media players, sending text messages, controlling the mouse and keyboard (if the device has that), and much more.

I install it by default on every device I have and even setup a computer as a media player in my living room that I control with my phone. Just connect an old laptop or desktop with Wake On Land or with autosleep and autologin and you won’t need a firestick or whatever.

Will it involve coming in contact with the owner of the social media accounts? Because that dude is way too agro.

A few Euros vs 600 is quite a difference.

“If I need to write boilerplate and learn a new skill, is it really worth it?”

Javascript just made it very easy to add libraries. I bet you if it C++ had an ecosystem as easy to use as Javascript, it would be the wildest mess you could imagine. Someone would create a package chock full of generics that sends your credentials to a foreign server during compilation but output a completely fine binary. But making dependency management easy in C++ would kill the elitist allure to the language and we can’t have that now, can we?

That’s a meme response. I can snicker, but it really doesn’t solve anything.

Development should really happen more in containers but I hate devcontainers. It’s very VScode specific and any customizations I made to my shell and environment are wiped away. It has trouble accessing my ssh keys in the agent, and additional tools I installed…

I just wish nix/nixos had a safer solution for it. Maybe even firejail or bwrap or landlock or something.

We laugh about AI deleting all the shit, but every day there’s a new npm package ready to exfiltrate all your data, upload it to a server and encrypt your home. How do you protect yourself against that?

How are people still on xitter? Is this dude a nazi?

It sounds interesting but who in the world is going to write article in the abstract wiki? It doesn’t seem at all accessible.

Doesnt Germany, like the UK have a formal and official petition platform? Petitions that reach the quorum have to be discussed in the second house of government. Stop Killing Games did the same.

This is a great ides, but why not use the formal channels?
