The WPF version of VS has supported many plugins from the start (2010). The previous version (2003-2008) also supported plugins but not sure how extensively. Before that VS was just the name for a suite of different tools (Visual C++, Visu

Teaching something wacky in homeschooling is far more damaging to the student than teaching something wacky in a public school. School does not occupy all the time of a child. If a school teaches something parents disagree with, parents can

You don't get the easy way out with such a vague statement. Give some actual examples. Also, the US very much was not built on distrust of government because building the US meant building a government everyone would trust.

I very much agree with that. Unfortunately that idea is antithetical to most religious people because most religions claim that they are the only valid religion. Teaching a kid about the variety of beliefs across the globe and the option of

I'll answer here for everyone. Some projected connotations on my comment, others were more neutral. My comment was actually intentionally devoid of connotations and just exposed a direct consequence of the nature of home schooling comp

There is a single opinion that is valid of all those different forms together: it (home schooling) will increase inequality in society in terms of amplitude, spread and flavors.

GP is probably talking about Descartes's famous line "I think therefore I am" an the relation of this line to Solipsism. Solipsism, to quote Wikipedia: is the philosophical idea that only one's mind is sure to exist. As

Your statement is obliviously false. People care about different things. Some people do not care about using pirated versions of Office. Some people care very much about whether software is or isn't open source especially when it is cl

After looking a bit more at the license, I am not even sure it is possible to use it for the intended purpose. It clearly states "you are not entitled to use or do anything with the code for any commercial or other purpose, other than

In this case, the licence they have chosen explicitly: - only grants the right "to access and use the code solely for the purposes of review, compilation and non-commercial distribution." - only grants the right "provide the

People distort words to the point of meaningless unless the use of those words are defended. "Open Source" is a term that is actively being defended. The history of the term is very clear. The term was coined by Christine Peterson

If it's behind a pay wall it's not available, it's closed. But you may call source-available software whatever you want, just not open source unless it's under and OSI-approved license. You can use any words other than t

And yet that is absolutely the kind of bullshit you are pulling. Thank you for denouncing yourself. Some terms were defined by a community and their use defended. Others were defined by a community, appropriated by others, distorted by othe

Just like Microsofts opinion didn't matter whenever they tried to dilute the meaning of open source, and just like MongoDB's and others opinion didn't matter, your opinion doesn't matter. Microsoft is far more convincing

This debate has been had many many times before and you are simply wrong. Your effort is malicious. Regardless of what other uses the word open has/had, "open source" was defined by OSI and they are authoritative over the ter

This is a settled debate. You will not convince anyone to use your definitions. We had this debate when MongoDB switched, when CockroachDB switched and for many others. And nothing has changed. Open source means OSI-approved licence and tha

Open source does not mean you can look at the source code. Open source is defined by the OSI. If it is not using and OSI-approved license and claims to be open source it is open washing. Call it shared source or something else. This is a lo

They can use whatever licence they want. It's their software. They should only call it open source if they use an OSI-approved licence. Doing otherwise is openwashing and is frowned upon.

by alexvoda 3y ago
This is a long settled debate. Open source means using OSI-approved licence. The definition mentions cost of obtaining the source code for a good reason. A freedom that you are incapable of ever exercising is not actually a freedom. If I gi

Please tell Louis he is damaging the project by calling it open source when it is not. If you want to be Free Libre Open Source Software then use an OSI and FSF approved licence. If you want to be FLOSS and protect your brand from people cl
