Even the creator of the open source initiative has said that open source has failed and we need more restrictive licensing because open source simply is too permissive and has been aggressively exploited at the expense of the people, who it was meant to empower.

For me, source available licenses that are open source except specifically restricting for profit hungry, exploitative companies and corpos are with something like non-commercial clauses are fine for an end product. I use CERN OHL S v2, but I can’t fault people for going noncommercial like the entirety of the art and 3D printing world pretty much already are to protect themselves.

Something like endurain?

They also have a batshit judicial culture and women apparently never get justice and most courts are a kind of semi-scripted kangaroo court.

Ace Attorney was specifically made as a parody of Japan’s courts IIRC.

Kopia is great for this. Choose your encryption, built in support for different provider storage tyoes in the GUI to choose where to go, dedupe, folder structure scramble, etc…

But their flatpak hasn’t been updated in ages…

I have yet to use a consumer ADF scanner on a printer that didn’t feed the paper at an angle until they are crushed and folded, doesn’t matter if the guides are perfectly set for A4 either. It has never worked for me.

KDE Discover also is good if you want to see/be notified that you have updated things and be able to uninstall/reinstall apps without the GUI bugging out.

Opencloud is a fork from Owncloud Infinite Scale just as nextcloud was a fork from the old Owncloud version.

Apparently much much simpler and more performant than nextcloud in almost every way. It also has a secure file sharing link feature.

They are also based in Germany.

I am about to spin up opencloud behind traefik and authelia hopefully this week or weekend.

Oh yeah I was quite annoyed with bazzite initially with embedded toolchains… The default arch distrobox also runs vscode variants horribly with tons of freezing for some reason. I had to create a new arch distrobox.

Also Saleae Logic2 has a Fedora bug where it takes between 2 and 10 minutes just to open because of logfiles and errordumping and timeouts that is very annoying.

Also menu shortcuts for distrobox only work like for 20% of programs (luckily code-oss is one of them)

And don’t get me started on running a VM that can see the local network…

After you get a setup going though, then it is breezy though.

No because she evidence is stille their, they just don’t have access to it (legally if they use certain tools, apparently all phones outsider of the newest pixel and most grapheneOS are exploitable and unlockable).

So that is the reason, that they would kever have access tot it when erased, as opposed to possibly getting a court order for the data in the future or nowadays just paying for an unlock tool illegally (depending on location)

They can prosecute you for that in many places as destruction of evidence.

(Which is weird because if they fail to convict you for whatever BS they are going for then it is the Goose meme of “evidence for what???”)

correct, the real mesh internet replacement is HaLow, that can get a whopping 4Mbps or something.

And this is why I try to recommend to every single person starting their smart home to plan it so that if everything dies, their internet, their router, power gets restarted, and their HomeAssistant gets corrupted, and you die, at the same time, that everything will work exactly as expected, because with MANY smart home systems they will just stop functioning or be stuck in a bad mode until your family hires someone to fix it.

That’s why I lean hard towards KNX

“Here in Denmark, we want homegrown European corporate-driven mass surveillance of all civilians.”

Glances at ChatControl

There is a small important distinction.

It is because there is no proprietary e2e encryption by default exclusively while communicating with others on tuta.

E2e encryption for 99.99999% of emails is via passworded pgp that everyone else has and uses or not encrypted at all. I have tuta for years and have yet to send or recieve a single encrypted mail that is the reason that they can’t have a 3rd party app outside of tuta’s own advertisements I get served.

It is vendor lock in. Pure, plain, and simple.

Wouldn’t be as much of a problem if their client wasn’t so bad. No auto moving messages as far as I can tell, absolutely horrid search functionality where I can type the sender email word for word and it will find 0 results, and just having almost no productivity or inbox managing features in general

AI as in the ubiquitous multicultural definition that had been used by corporations worldwide for multiple years.

It is a disingenuous use of ‘AI’ for the reasons you give, but it is virtually the only colloquial use of the acronym in worldwide culture. It is very clear what it means, especially in the context of a search engine company asking it.

This is the best comment of the thread.

So many people are nitpicking his post or criticizing the platform that he shares it on (let’s me honest, linkedIN has a much wider impact than the fediverse if something “goes corporate viral”). People deserve to be compensated for their work.

We shouldn’t be mad at the devs trying to make a living, even those who have different views about what open source is. We should be banding together against the companies who’s entire business model is based on theft and abuse. New anti-AI licenses specifically, techniques to poison AI data baked into every repo, class action lawsuits against companies, etc…

Once Universal Basic Income gets implemented and you don’t need to be paid directly for your work to survive, then we bicker incessantly about the finer points of the real definition of open source.

He is pretty much openly admitting he has right wing views and it is influencing his social media and project policy.

“Punch Nazis” is literally the only use of the phrase “punch [group]” in modern culture. Redacting specifically Nazi from the statement to make it seem like it is a general statement used, which suggests that is is note broad violent rhetoric, is a very often used dogwhistle by Nazis (and is being used daily by the extreme right wing, at this point satisfying nearly every academic hallmark of fascism, american government).

It is also relevant to note that during the project startup, someone simply suggested a 10 minute search and replace change to use more neutral language and he responded “your personal politics have no place here” even though that is not necessarily political.

Again, the only people that get that offended and snappy with something as benign as using a single different pronoun are the people who support taking basic rights away from human beings. I have never met another type person who cares at all.

The real question is, if a terrible person creates something (potentially) good and let’s their own politics create arguments and stir up drama, but just use the guise of “oh it’s because I want to be apolitical”, is it worth giving money and support to that person. How can you trust someone to always make a “free as in freedom browser” when they literally support (hypothetically) authoritarianism, mass surveillance, and taking rights away in real life? That is the antithesis of the project’s mission.

Also, life is inherently political. There is a group of people literally wanting to kidnap, torture, enslave, kill, and/or remove any rights from another large group of people. Ignoring those problems and welcoming those people with open arms gives them the chance to spread those hateful and violent views, as evidenced by their rapid growth by creating safe spaces for them on the internet.

It is a sad reality, but throughout much of human history, there has been a large groups of people don’t have the luxury to “avoid talking about politics” and “making things political” because they were literally getting enslaved and/or killed by it. And that is happening today still, visibly and publically.

Or Hikvision for very similar cameras at an actually affordable price (but you HAVE to block then from the internet and/or put them on an isolated VLAN because they send everything back home).

Reolink also makes gold budget cameras, especially their doorbell camera.

Yeah there is a world of difference between the microusb gen 1 and the newer AV1 enabled ones.

The old ones literally didn’t have their own OS IIRC, you could only cast to them which caused a ton of issues.

The newer ones literally run android TV

For some things.

For many things it isn’t. It is usable (I use it) but with a bunch of workarounds for anything embedded development-related since it needs specific vendor software with device access. I have had to use a variety of distrobox + app image solutions that are often a bit worse than a system that installs them as native apps.
