I presume that their employers just had terms that essentially gave the whole IP to the employer. And GPL is conflicting that, especially if they were producing the code using employers equipment, which essentially makes all the code to belong to employer. At the same time, GPL maintains the IP on the author of the code.

Not a lawyer, though I heard that some far-eastern companies have copied the US policymaking, which allows full separation of IP from the author.

Somehow, though, people invest more and more resources into making both more real at the same time lol

'Cause trying to build AGI is speeding up the warning xD

There are folks form KDE who are trying to implement the Plasma Bigscreen solution: https://plasma-bigscreen.org/. Seems promising to me :)

Though, I’d still recommend to use an external device to avoid breaking the TV OS up ;)

The web ui with integration of email ecosystem for all those things are one of core selling points of https://sr.ht/

I’d say this list is not about moving towards FLOSS, but more about breaking up with Google services. Some replacements are betters, some worse, but definitely in each column there is at least one non-floss application 🤔

I’ve been following the software forge federation some time ago, and didn’t feel to pick up even when it was discusssed initially. It is a neat idea on high-level, though it requires forges to implement it, which has a risk of not picking up (just look at how much iterations of social media federation protocols was there, until ActivityPub arose).

On the other hand, all of the forges are based on a distributed technology out of the box: git. Most of the “modern days” comforts there are, are just built on top, and there are different ways to approach it.

As an example, you can send patches directly to the author in email. Is heavily implemented and suggested by https://sr.ht/ (1) — a software forge, which focuses on building a federated workflow by using email for communication (which is federated by design). This way, you can create “Pull Requests” without having account on the forge — all you need to do is just submit a patch. Author is very vocal about supporting it (2), and provides quite useful guides to learn (3), (4)

Generally, I’d say that e-mail is the only federative implementation you can get so far :)

What I can see clearly is that nation overall supports the warfare, and the annexation of neighbouring country — either silently, or loudly. This sentiment was there for even pre-full-scale invastion time period, even in anti-putinists circles (the “Crimea is not a sandwich” statement supporting that1).

There is an extreme minority that is against war, though they are against war in principle, and make no action to support the warfare to any side.

Russian text in the video makes me very suspicious…

Oooh, thanks, looks neat!

If only she new how Maria Skłodowska-Curie died, she wouldn’t be as happy for the resemblance…

This sounds really nice, though I see in article mostly mentioned “assigned amount of money”, and “items sent”. Nothing about actual industrial production within EU, which makes me feel a bit suspicious.

'Cause budget allocation is a fine topic, yet real value brought by that money allocation might differ to quite an extent 🤔

But on macOS it just uses Apple’s own WebKit fork, so it is very expected: WebKit is very optimised towards Apple hardware on macOS and iOS.

Each time I see anything like that, I just disengage with the content

I was going a long way, until I built a perfect AwesomeWM configuration for myself, and have not changed it for a while now. I am willing to switch to Wayland-based solution now, as it seems to be a bit more performant, but I just can’t make myself to do it: my config is really cozy and working

I will never understand, why designers love the grids so much these days. Sometimes I am literally blind for a game in collection, and end up searching for it using software keyboard on my Deck :/

Totally. The only kinda downside is that it has frozen root partition, so you have to work around if you want some console utilities. Not a problem for most people, though — mostly for folks that prefer console over GUI, like me.

The issue with “sovereign” clouds is that because they are managed by US company, US govt can make company to give data from that servers. If company is European, the space for enforcing is much smaller.

Me neither. The quality of roads is beyond excellent, and usually roads that are considered “worse” are still much better than those considered better right outside EU. And they are driveable by even low-clearance cars[1]! It makes even less sense for EVs, taking into account that added weight of an SUV increases cost and lowers the reach of a car.

I have only two assumptions, first one being: everyone got into belief that SUVs/crossovers have more space than sedans of same size. Which really is an illusion, and even sellers usually say, where the sizes match. In fact, a kombi car will have so much more space, compared to SUV, that it is really impossible to compare.

Another assumption is feeling like a Cool Guy®. Even today I saw a guy riding a BMW, which has bunch of “turbo power” stickers, while sitting alone in a crossover. It’s like Macs, which are very average laptops, but everyone wanted them, because of an Apple effect.

[1]: Here I mean cars with clearance about 10cm

I’d say that the best solution would be to switch from “sovereign” clouds to EU-based clouds. It will not just save EU countries from US spying on them. This supoprts the fact that there was recently an article, where M$ acknowledged they cannot guarantee they won’t give out the data even from “sovereign” clouds to US government. So, it is kind of obvious step :)
