  • Can Modern Linux Fit on a 1.44mb Floppy? [19:50] | Action Retro

    Jump

  • besides uncompressing itself, there will be other info that is needed at runtime that requires dynamic memory allocation beyond the size of the kernel itself, like hardware/memory maps, framebuffers, filesystem/networking stuff, caches etc.

  • New Rule Forbids GNOME Shell Extensions Made Using AI Generated Code

    Jump

  • How is AI-generated content detected and what is the process for disputing such claims?

  • HDMI Forum is unwilling to disclose the 2.1 specification for open-source (Linux): according to AMD, they had submitted a functional, HDMI 2.1-compatible driver [for linux?], which the Forum rejected.

  • What is your definition of TV in this context? All of these are 55"+, some even show pictures of it in a living room...

  • Electron apps

    Jump

  • I think there is. I would say the connection is not that electron didn't exist before, but that now that ram prices are high, an increase in the number of electron apps becomes a problem because of the ram usage. Not that the usage wasn't a problem before, but that more people are using even more electron apps now than ever, hence their "industry standard" comment.

  • GStreamer 1.26.9 Improves Support for DeckLink Capture Cards, Spotify Integration

    Jump

  • lol only took 15 years... that's how long ago it was when I had to write complete/custom replacement software to handle HDR on blackmagic devices instead because gstreamer couldn't do it.

  • I made a KDE Plasma theme to look like Windows 98 [EDIT: v0.9]

  • I certainly wouldn't call that pixel perfect either though.

  • you're using alpine+docker with systemd?

  • Not everyone of all ages and viewing distances can accurately read text on a screen in a particular language with enough speed.

  • Is the FOSS world in danger of a corporate takeover, thanks to pushover licenses?

    Jump

  • In their eyes, probably not... but you can't have it both ways. Either you let companies take advantage of you, or you don't...

  • Open Source Developers Are Exhausted, Unpaid, and Ready to Walk Away

    Jump

  • Open source is the very worst thing currently going on because it is so incredibly exploitative, it's far more exploitative than any actual company is of the workers who work at the company.

    Even the people who are getting paid in open source are getting massively underpaid to do it compared to how much the people who are using their code are making, it's nothing compared to the power that is accreted by the people who have co-opted that work thanks to the open source model. And then mark zuckerberg gets to define how the internet works despite having paid for almost none of the software that his company actually needed to make that work.

    It's like feudalism or serfdom, these people did the work and got nothing for it. It's like you took the worst aspects of capitalism for workers and the worst aspects of socialism for workers and put them together, that's open source. You get no power and you get no money.

    It's exploitative whether the people chose to be exploited, just because someone chooses to let you exploit them does not mean that you didn't exploit them. And for the record that's how most exploitation works; convincing people to do something that turns out to be very bad for them and very good for you, and that's exactly what the open source movement has turned out to be.

    I really don't see the "we post stuff on github under a gpl2 or lgpl or apache or mit license", all that is to me now is just exploitation. You can say that there's solutions but until someone demonstrates that those solutions work, it's the standard "real communism has never been tried" argument. AGPL is the only thing that I've seen so far that's an attempt to fix these fundamentally unfair compensation practices.

    Jump

  • I wonder if a dual-licensed non-commercial + paid commercial approach could work, but from my experience with FOSS developers, they tend to view non-commercial licenses as sacrilege...

  • I would still consider that a software bug on Linux's part if it allows a USB device to bring the whole system down.
