No! Don’t give in. Stay strong fellow human

I’m sure there’s some community pull as well, because most of the rust ecosystem seems to be converged on MIT. But what despairs me is the wilful sidelining of GPL and everything GNU by some open source community members/corporate people. So yeah, you’re probably right

You can’t redefine ownership

Sadly, they really are trying to. And by promising comfort and convenience within a walled garden, they are managing quite well to convince the majority of people that it’s all good and for our own benefit.
Can’t open your devices, can’t copy your content. Welcome to DRM hell

I sometimes enable the recommended videos in newpipe just to see what’s out there, it’s mostly shite, though. For me what worked was asking people. Sometimes my friends, but more often, hanging out in online communities/forums relevant to my interests gave me a bunch of good channel suggestions :)

Yes, as much as I appreciate memory safety and rust in particular. I’m very worried by this pivot away from copyleft and GPL. Specially the rewriting in rust phenomenon of fundamental stuff. It’s safer, yes, but they’re all pretty much non GPL and it seems very risky to me. Make no mistake, the industry is riding this wave to move away from copyleft to permissive licenses.

I wish that people understood the importance of FSF and GNU

Yes, it’s so freaking annoying that I’ve to constantly fiddle with zoom levels just because I want my fucking map to show me the names of the stations and streets. I guess the technology isn’t there yet. But somehow, Google has figured out how to constantly display the names of businesses which have paid them.

Anyway, I’ve been using more and more of Open Street Maps with the Organic Maps app, and it’s a refreshing experience

Maybe off topic but what’s the issue with using standard Firefox? Also on f-droid through Fennec/FF updater.

With things as dicey as browsers, I would rather have fewer patches and a certified version. These forks never seemed very reliable to me

Quite the same case as with matrix. I very much prefer AGPL over all the other permissive licences, but I don’t know, the CLA leaves a bad taste in the mouth

To the people who switched to it from latex for technical documents (involving equations), how much adjustment did it need? I’m in the process of writing some papers/presentations and I’m fairly comfortable with latex but sometimes I do wish it was simpler

This is looking really promising! Pipewire already has pretty much solved audio issues (at least for me) entirely and now with HDR on the cusp, the year of the Linux desktop is nigh! Barring some Adobe BS and CAD stuff, there really isn’t much left
