You are completely right. But the answer to this is always the same: off-topic Stallman ad hominem > Linux is a peculiar beast here. The kernel is largely developed by big corps, but playing by the copyleft rules, because it's such

You guys are missing the point that some company already cornered the market by using open source code and not contributing back their work. they have a head start from everyone that can ever be involved.

that would be a full GPL compliant product, which is not what the comment was talking about. Someone said companies use GPL software, add their business logic or drivers, and never contribute back: e.g. android phones. Then someone else sai

i will bite. How does the user benefit from having a phone built on top of open source software, that they cannot update a well known security vulnerability because the manufacturer can't bother to run a build with the last upstream ve

Are the people downvoting still using WPA? or betting their life on WPA3 that haven't had a decent sized deployment yet? Or did they bet their lives on WPA2-PSK/WPA2-enterp during the first months of launch before any exploit was

All those still need someone to ultimately buy a cow at some point, when everyone knows the value is zero. Or are the ones holding the cow the last ones that assumed they would be able to still sell a cow?

You have a great point. Browser UI elements are stuck in time and all the attention now is directed to things that Google can make money from (e.g. DRM, sandbox for rich apps/extensions, webrtc for their video call products, etc) but y

I spent couple days after joining an Ad tech project, because I could not get a working local build. I had already disabled adblocker at the time, and was even using other browsers. Turned out i also had DNS[0] ad blockers I forgot about. T

this could be an interesting project to agree on a portable subset of a modern language that can be either interpreted or compiled in the background so quickly that you wouldn't mind. Something like portable-rust. Could replace bash&#x

You can set DNS on newer android because it is meaningless. Now that *no* app uses the OS dns anymore, but the HTTPS one, you can change it at will. Go fiddle with your useless settings :(

Well, to be honest, nowadays I think that the sooner mozilla dies, the better for firefox :( But anything will only happens if there's a user base as contributors are a (small) ratio from that number.

Let me tell you the future of using brave: you give chrome engine total rule of the law for web "standards". Google can mold the web to their desires. If you use firefox, google have to at least play nice. What's the point of

except that VR nobody can use for anything other than game. your GPU and integrated GPU run somewhat slower on opensource OS and drivers. Heck you can compute on them on cloud providers. Anything VR can only run if you install a game studio
