  • Windows 10 Countdown: Make the Switch to Linux for a Fresh Start

  • yea the IoT version will still be supported until at least 2032, and they will probably keep extending it with ESU at some point too

  • Linux Foundation endorses Chromium, SteamOS ISO is coming Linux & Open Source news

  • They might have pure motives but I have to wonder just how useful that is realistically. The rest of the world does not seem keen on following in their spirit.

  • German router maker is latest company to inadvertently clarify the LGPL license

    Jump

  • The posted link does not appear to contain the same statement as what I read from the SFC:

    Steck's work showed that despite being a "Lesser" license than GPL, LGPLv2.1 still guarantees users the right to repair, modify and reinstall modified versions of the software on their device.

    This is why I believed that the lack of an anti-tivoization clause was being somehow retroactively applied to v2.

  • So LGPLv2 doesn't actually allow tivoization in Germany now? Am I reading that right?

  • Fish Shell 4.0 drops C++ for Rust to simplify development and enhance performance

    Jump

  • You may be right, I don't have enough experience talking to new programmers in order to comment on that part specifically, but I do think a sizeable portion of existing C++ devs who don't want to use rust exist, and this may now be a problem moving forward, especially if the C++ committee keeps dragging their feet and never adopt any new safety extensions.

    Personally I think the swift syntax is much more familiar and friendly to existing C++ devs, but its popularity does not seem anywhere near rust's level for some reason, but maybe now that a truly cross-platform version has been released, it might gain some traction... maybe.

  • Perhaps it depends on what people are used to. I use C++ regularly and I find rust syntax much too painful to look at.

  • How can we help FSF with their "Upgrade From Windows" campaign?

    Jump

  • From what I have seen, FSF has their head so far up their own ass that there's no point.

  • how does that make the project any less open-source?

    what's next, shaming project owners for living in a house that they pay for with a corporate job?

    we get it, you hate capitalism, but that doesn't mean other people want to go live in the woods too... gotta be realistic :)

  • Microsoft open-sourced a Python tool for converting files and office documents to Markdown

    Jump

  • If like me you were wondering if MS actually provided their own parsers for their Office file formats... they did not.

    It seems to just be a bunch of random pyxyz 3rd-party support libraries all mashed together.

  • Raspberry Pi Monitor Review: Well-built portable monitor that works with any HDMI-capable device

  • Probably because there are many laptops where such cables do not work. I went through 4 different brands before I found one that worked on my macbook.

    It is when you're responding to people who think 5G is turning the frogs gay and activating hidden vaccine microchips.

  • Linux CoC Announces Decision Following Recent Bcachefs Drama

    Jump

  • I've always said CoCs are often just a false flag used to handwave dictatorship behavior away while hiding behind colorful interpretations of subjective terminology.

  • Linux CoC Announces Decision Following Recent Bcachefs Drama

  • full of reactionaries shitting on Linux for having a CoC and enforcing it.

    Because they don't enforce it for Linus. Yea he "took a break" and went to therapy etc. (before the CoC was introduced IIRC), but he still routinely abuses people publicly with no remorse or empathy, and continues to do it for decades now. As another commenter said of the CoC and Linus's continued current behavior today, "Of the 10 bullet points there he violates 6 of them."

    And I don't agree with the people who claim "he has to be that way because blah blah and Linux wouldn't be what it is today etc.", I still think it's entirely possible to be a whole lot nicer while also being firm when necessary and still achieve the same end result.

    Of course people are upset over double standards.
