I think even that's an understatement. My tinfoil-hat take is that Lepton looks like it's just aimed at Facebook but will ultimately make Google's Android less... uniquely impenetrable. Certain hardware-dependent stuff will

Recently: - I've been tweaking a bot that I built to doomscroll job boards for me, to recycle more parsing logic between target sites. It turns out that, much of the time, I can cut down on DOM-based scraping a lot by just parsing sc

I mean, aside from /e/OS as a first-party option, there are also official Lineage builds[1]. And they're at least a target for PostmarketOS[2], even if that wiki doesn't actually describe something daily-driveable yet. [

What a company considers to be "performance" or "insubordination" can certainly still be about office politics. Not that I'm saying this is necessarily the case here, but they're not a hard either/or. For

But how much of that synthetic data still ultimately derives from non-open sources? You'd still have to ask what a clean room implementation ultimately is , depending on how granular or aggressive a large publisher wanted to get about

One thing that has changed in around that time (maybe) is that GKIs[1] are now standard across (Google-branded) Android devices. Board/SoC support is handled via kernel modules now. The builds are directly from the Android Common Ker

I mean I guess that's fair (about money I mean), but I more so mean in the sense of official sponsorships or full-on business ventures. I also, more directly, mean that they do generally have separate versions of core apps. Anyway I&#x

Doesn't LineageOS have modern versions of those things? I'm not sure it has to have money involved to be serious, and in fact the last time Lineage had money involved it didn't end very well.

A few... Some about jobs in general. Some through the particular lens of happening into technology work, out of a tinkering habit, from a loosely-related arts field. Not all of them are about actually landing work; some of them are just use

To the best of my knowledge Plex has never been open source. It's just easy to mix up because it's been using Kodi as a base the whole time.

I acutally see the reduced burden that comes with actually sharing resources. To extend the previous analogy: Valve didn't make desktop Linux viable on their own. A lot of it is owed to another self-interested actor -- Google -- thro

by chaosharmonic 2mo ago
I don't think it needs to be framed purely as generosity. You just need a sufficiently self-interested actor that sees open ecosystems as a necessary part of reducing their own risk profile, relative to the alternative of complete reli

Fair, I more so mean for digital releases. Movies, on digital marketplaces, have had this kind of distinction for a lot longer than games have.

Not to defend this, just to further observe the different nature of their marketing -- games also haven't historically had similar "rent" options in the first place. Timed demos are a newer trend, demos in general have usua

It kinda feels cyclical, tbh. Bang-for-buck entrant that's friendly to modders shows up in the market, enthusiasts flock to it, it chases a bigger market as it grows, and then it eventually fades out as it loses what made it special in

Notably, from their FAQ: > We’ve taken inspiration from other open-source projects that have taken a similar approach, including Wikimedia, Red Hat, Rust, Python Foundation, Apache, Mozilla, Linux, and Debian.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure these are all descendants of SnapDrop, but development or hosting or both seem to keep dying off the various forks every few years. That one is, apparently, now owned by whoever also owns the zombie brand of Lim

I'm aware these aren't mutually exclusive. To me, the bigger benefit of not integrating them is that I can just rotate in freshly charged batteries anytime they die, and don't have to care about being within proximity of a
