You can't place prohibitions on selling the software or consulting services related to it. The definition of open source is here: https://opensource.org/osd

Projects are encouraged to have -announce mailing lists, which you can subscribe to for announcements.

I really hate this argument because it's an insurmountable problem for new platforms. It's really not reasonable to expect that of any platform. The project isn't on Github, but you seem to have discovered it just fine. Give

Aye. However, git.sr.ht doesn't aim to be your project's home page, but rather its git repo. Its design is optimized for its usage as such. In the future, Sourcehut will have a project hub which is more suited to being the public

I've poked around some of the gioui windowing code. It should be pretty easy to add an X11 backend if you're up for the task.

>That it's between GNU project webpages and Sourceforge circa 2002? Even more rude. This looks nothing like either. GNU Savannah has a garish color scheme and completely unplanned UI. Sourceforge is overplanned and looks like a mid-

go get has nothing to do with github. Why wouldn't it work? Just use it the usual way. The readme directs you to a hello world program: https://git.sr.ht/~eliasnaur/gio/tree/master/example/hello

Maybe, but for my part I'd break it in a heartbeat and let them sue me. Perhaps the right answer is a tech workers union.

I put the blame on both. We have a responsibility to exercise ethical discretion in our work, and we have the power to do so. If you get fired for refusing to remove the Taiwanese flag from iOS, then take to your blog, set a fire under Appl

The FCC's push here should tell you everything you need to know. They claimed that the regulations weren't their place and that they should be implemented by legislation instead of administration. Then, when that starts to happen,

I don't have anything this cool and interactive, but for those interested I've been working on a comprehensive Wayland book: https://wayland-book.com It's a little over halfway done.

Why not? This is a bizzare thing for people to get hung up on.

Why wouldn't an image editor need Vulkan? It's gotta render something somehow.

I'm not going to entertain any more ideas of "users are stupid and therefore cannot figure out an Ubuntu installation". It's extremely simple and I don't have that little faith in the average person. It's not

Arguments like this also ignore the success of Chromebooks. The "average" person doesn't actually care about the things you listed. Some professionals might. But the average person isn't a photoshop user, and libreoffice

Use an operating system which respects you as the owner of your computer, not as a commodity to be exploited.

PHP is a public remote shell. Why is this in the news?

The fact that this names four companies and remains an effective analogy is deeply troubling. There should be so many actors in all of these spaces that listing them would be a challenge.

Your example isn't even the worst. How about proprietary web services which can import your data, but not export it?

I've yet to use any software which supports flowed, as a sender or recipient. As a recipient I appreciate when flowed is done right and properly hardwraps lines as a fallback. Seems like a decent compromise.

The specific person I'm referring to has lost any goodwill from other interactions I've had with them. I don't trust their statements. And like I said, I would have personally paid a 50% increase, or for an ala-carte support

by Sir_Cmpwn 7y ago
(1) I would have paid 50% more but I also imagine that 50% is hardly necessary to fund a proper support system. That represents an increase of nearly a thousand dollars per unit. (2) Having known the person (singular)* who said they'

Thank you for clarifying more. Not sure if you're following IRC, but just in case I'll mention it here as well: Raptor products are already outpricing most consumers. Even in casual conversations with hacker friends, most of them
