   Stuff like this is exactly why I'm planning to move out of the EU soon. After article 13 and nonsense like this it's clear that the EU does not serve the interests of its member states' citizens.

   Tbh I think it's quite interesting that the by far biggest open source platform is in itself not open source. Why?

   I'm doing the same! Remote extension or more precisely code-server/Theia as of recent times is an excellent remote workspace environment.

   Honestly I'm happy to print at my Uni's library at this point. I just send a PDF and that's it - it's much cheaper than a personal printer anyways.

   True. IMHO IP law is based on a moral and not a utilitarian basis, and as we know from almost all recent FLOSS projects especially in Cloud (Linux, Kubernetes, ...) IP is just a massive hindrance to productivity and has a net negative effec

   ... or they could just create a PWA and publish it on the free and open web and have the app be available globally in 40s w/o any regulations or artificial restrictions.

    I agree! Having more than one (or two, if we include WebKit - but Blink is a fork of it, so ...) relevant browser engines would be great. But as it stands right now, the fact that I can build apps that have all capabilities that the end use

    Yeah, but that's awesome! The end user has the free choice of what OS they want to use. What's the problem with that?

    How so? Chromium is the single most important reason Linux is now a viable desktop option, with even all of the M$ Office apps, Outlook etc. working as PWAs. Not to speak of i.e. Discord, WhatsApp, Slack, Teams ...

    Love the site! The actual entry field is using a non-monospace font though which looks a little off ;)

    Switched to Alpine Linux (a distro built with musl libc) a while back for my dev and k3s cluster machines and never looked back since.

    Yeah ... I can run Discord, Zoom, Meet - anything really, and my system doesn't have any performance problems. I open up Teams and usage jumps to 100% (MBP 13" i7 2016)

    Note how they don’t contribute anything to X/Wayland, they only _extend_ it so that DX12 and other proprietary, Windows-only systems can interact with Linux. These are anti-features. Like they could also just use Vulkan and be done wit

    The question is what kind of effect they have on the audience. If someone uses exclusionary language in front of a diverse community that can be really destructive.

    Played around w/ olric a while back as a kv store for a routing graph, really enjoyed it even though I ended up home-brewing it later (the network topology meant that olric wasn’t the right tool for the job). Highly recommend it ;)

    Does the case for C++ in 2020 still exist? Rust and Go are much simpler to learn, can do everything that C++ can and have sane, simple and clean build systems/package managers, not to mention async/await concurrency in the former
