Who are these people who use the commercial Oracle Java version and why do they need it? When running on AWS you are probably better off running Amazon's Java, on Azure you are probably better off running Microsoft's Java, on RedH

Sure, but I'm not directly affected by someone's buggy phone software. If a self driving Tesla crashes into me, that does affect me.

Comparing .Net to Angular and Docker is comparing apples to oranges. Now if you moved from .Net to say Linux and the Java ecosystem (Maven, Intellij, etc.) that would be something you can compare.

Same goes for if you have an IoT device behind a corporate firewall and you are being forced to use a enterprise DNS server running on some Cisco or Juniper device which doesn't respect TTL's, filters TXT records, etc.

"make sure it's not doing bad things" is never going to happen. Just look at the XZ attack (which is written in C) or the "The International Obfuscated C Code Contest" [1]. Also you might want to read "Reflecti

I highly doubt they are running at a loss now. They want a bigger piece of the pie. A bunch of donations or paying OSS devs isn't going to bring in the money a successful for-profit operation with licenses per user, per CPU, per month,

Definitely. In a lot of companies (especially in Germany) management is looking how they can reduce their dependency on US clouds. For example by moving to something like Scaleway, the LIDL (Schwarz digits) cloud, etc. Getting deeper into U

Back to the 00's! There I was thinking gradients were done for. With big companies like VW and BMW ditching gradients from their logo's. But all the old is new again!

This isn't about training AI on a book, but AI companies never paying for the book at all. As in: They "downloaded the e-book from a warez site" and then used it for training.

But Elastic Search is still open core. So certain "enterprise" functionally will never make it in the OSS version (unlike in OpenSearch).

And how does that same reasoning apply to your first example? Giving money to someone who you know is going to buy a bullet to murder someone. "You don't have all the details, he could be murdering a bad person"? Something li

If that's the rebuke then the whole comparison is silly. Since if you buy clothes at some chain like Zara you know before hand what the conditions are which they impose on their workers. You don't need "future sight" for

I'm not talking about the Google Maps app or the YouTube app here. I'm talking about the API's which Google Play services offer which all apps use. API's which for example allows your app to get the location of the user.

You can't even install the resulting binaries of an opensource Android build on a phone because of gaps. And even if you could (or fill in the gaps) Google poisoned the ecosystem by ensuring almost all Android apps require Google Play

So we've come full circle. This was common practice in the 90's with companies like Dell, HP, etc. with HDD's, memory, etc. Synology must feel quite confident in their market dominance if they think they can pull this off.

At this point having "something" would probably even beat having nothing. I guess it's simply a big numbers thing. If you sell lots of cars, shaving a couple of hundred dollars of each car adds up.
