Wouldn’t be surprising if this were done on purpose by the fruit company. All the more exciting when it will be overcome and they’ll have to find another wrench to throw.
1·3 days agoWe dream of a world where technology (both SW and HW) is completely open, but at the moment, this is not entirely possible. Our goal is to contribute to progress in this line by publishing all our developments to support the community.
However, some components (such as the communications module or the CPU) do not have publicly available schematics and cannot be replicated. This prevents our device from being fully open source. Nevertheless, we are committed to publishing all our own development work and continuously seeking for components that respect user freedom without compromising usability.
Regarding the software, the entire operating system will be open source, and all LiberuxOS developments will be published. The installed software will also be open source. However, some parts of the firmware will remain closed, as some manufacturers do not release their code. Still, we will do our best to open more parts of our system over time.
What am I missing? What’s wrong with zip? Should tar.gz be used instead?
I wish they actually for serious about it and said “@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu is aiming to be 100% opensource by 2030”. That would be quite the statement. It would need teeth/legs, but it would be cool none the less.
Alright making this really simple.
These are the interpretations of you and your words:
- you are a dev
- you think GIMP’s design is shit
- you think GIMP devs should be better at design and are worth shitting on
- you purport to have a solution
My words:
- stop shitting on devs for design
- build the solution you purport to have
Nowhere do I say “designers should write code”.
Are we on the same page now?
here should be a platform that enables designers to relatively easily contribute to open source projects without learning git or whatever the fuck.
Make it then.
Do you know how difficult it is to make software that runs, let alone runs well? Do you know how difficult it is to stay on top of the constant messages, issues, PRs, and just churn that comes alone when that particular software gets popular? And on top of that devs are supposed to be design gods too?
If you think you have the solution: build it. Be a part of the solution. The developers of GIMP can’t do everything.
There should be a community that documents these kinds of things, so that governments from around the world can have a repository of knowledge for these things. “I’m a government instance that does X and would like to find software that does Y for me. What could exist? Let me look at $repository”. Without it, every government has to relearn the same lessons.
The knowledge shouldn’t just end up in some article on lwn or whatever, but in the hands of people trying to convince their governments (local to national to international). The EU has something like that, but it’s not well managed and there doesn’t seem to be an NGO, at least to my knowledge, that does this kind of thing either. I might of course be mistaken.
Again, these puritan open source defenders. “It’s not open source if $bibleQuote”. “Just call it source available”. And all the other arguments.
From what I gather, the licence is still in the spirit of open source, just not to the letter. It doesn’t want large businesses taking the code , making a competitor and nor contributing back.
These open source defenders do not care about developers and their lives. They just want the code be released in a manner that respects their bible, to the letter.
3·9 days agoOn regular x86 laptops, this mapping is already present in the UEFI firmware, described as ACPI tables. ACPI, which stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface, is an open standard that some firmware implementations use to advertise the devices that are part of the system to the operating system through a key-value data structure called “ACPI tables”. At boot, when the operating system detects ACPI tables, it reads them to enumerate the hardware devices and allow the various drivers and kernel modules to interact with all compatible discovered devices.
Why doesn’t Quallcomm have this? Seems like a major oversight. Kinda weird that they don’t have ACPI. It’s an open standard…
Right on the page. Scroll down
20·16 days agoCompanies are already resisting because they can’t figure out a good way to interview people. “We tried nothing and are all out of ideas”. Hopefully more companies like Fuck Leetcode pop up to force a change in interview techniques.

Bro… why do opensource projects love proprietary collaboration platforms so much?
That’s a good point. Using alternative DNS servers and alternative TLDs might be useful until they cotton on. It could even stress OpenNIC 🤔
I2P could be better.
Maybe these open source sites should move off the public internet and use alternative DNS servers with signup and alternative TLDs. Something like OpenNIC, but with signup. Or go straight to darknets like TOR and I2P. Maybe I2P would be better as it’s slower and crawlers would probably timeout just trying to access content.
They are learning from the US mega corps: if you’re popular, open source your framework and it’ll attract talent just by virtue of you being popular, regardless of merit.
They have entered the battle…
3·19 days agoYou’re writing dangerously bad C or C++ code already.
Shots fired. Must be footgun that went off somewhere.
I’m not really up to date on the situation in the US, but aren’t there millions of people with student debt totalling billions? How much did the US government really spend on education per student in today’s value?
It could’ve been mercurial, but I’m glad that didn’t happen. Being shouted at in a mailing-list for fixing a bug doesn’t sound like fun. Also, the amount of CPU resources that would be wasted running a VCS in python would be phenomenal. And have fun trying to develop a project using a separate python version than supported by your python VCS.
