  • The Unpaid Backbone of Open Source: Solo Maintainers Face Increasing Security Demands

  • You must not be active in any chat systems that are frequented by FOSS developers then? I see it constantly across Matrix, IRC, XMPP and other places.

  • The Unpaid Backbone of Open Source: Solo Maintainers Face Increasing Security Demands

    Jump

  • The bigger problem to me is that I have seen an untold number of open source developers that despise all manner of capitalism in the first place, so you can't even pay them to work on things. It's like they just want everyone to live under a rock in the woods and all be poor together or something. That's not going to progress society very much IMO.

  • Some startups are going ‘fair source’ to avoid the pitfalls of open source licensing | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • it converts to a true open source license after a predefined period of time

    What happens if that time never comes for the company and it goes out of business?

  • we’re carving a space for companies to safely share

    To be fair, it's no safer than being GPL etc. in that any license is only as useful as your ability to enforce it in court. For a bad actor, whether they violate a fair source license vs a GPL likely isn't much of a concern at all.

  • Unlisted GitHub Repositories

    Jump

  • I struggle to call this actually "unlisted" since (if I understand correctly) anyone who knows the repo URL can see the list of branches.

  • 20 years later, real-time Linux makes it to the kernel - really

  • People who want RT are not everyday people though.

    How does an average desktop user benefit from any RT changes?

  • 20 years later, real-time Linux makes it to the kernel - really

    Jump

  • I don't think that comparison is fair because I explicitly said that people who wanted RT are already going out of their way to get things done. The average desktop user (putting GPS in every phone) won't benefit from it (or RT) and it could likely make their experience even worse.

  • The technology behind GitHub’s new code search

    Jump

  • I can see the argument from both sides... and maybe both is true. I think the same could be said about twitter... having to login to read tweets means they can easily track who looks at what... which is very valuable information to a lot of people with money.

    Jump

  • But the RT patches have been available for 20 years... not sure why the fact that it is mainlined would suddenly expand its popularity? It might be easier to get started sure, but people doing RT were already going to such troubles anyway.

  • The technology behind GitHub’s new code search

    Jump

  • I wish they didn't switch to requiring a login to search code... seems like a big privacy issue cause you just know they're saving all those searches and associating it with your account.
