3·6 months agoAh, yep. Indeed. Thanks for pointing that out.
Nothing to do with being Chinese. Amazon is going to brick some of their devices that play music in cars IIRC. There are western companies that made pace makers who closed source their communication protocols, went bust, and now the pace makers are in patients who have no way to service them.
Opensourcing after deprecation should be written into law.
Privacy dies in thunderous applause. Good job on voting in the conservatives and ludites everybody (or not voting at all)! A+ participation in democracy.
So, something the majority of people can never attain. Awesome.
Or are you going to hand me a plot of land that isn’t as big as a thimble? If so, sign me up. I want it.
We can file that under: expanding worldviews.
“Selecting a server is too complicated”. Won’t ever understand that.
Probably not. People will hang onto stuff because “everybody’s there” and “but lemmy doesn’t have enough content” 🤷♂
What? That sounds like absolute hokum. It’s like saying variable names change the data they contain.
Go is not an option? Zig neither? Even Java would be better (it’s used in high-frequency trading) than C++.
Rust is not the only contender.
I hope an opensource, non-C/C++ browser will pop up that can claw back from Chrome/Chromium. It’s about time.
How high can they appeal? This is just a district court. I bet it’ll take another decade until a decision is reached.
She can fuck right off with that. I have a mouse that fell apart because it used soft plastic, another one I threw away because I couldn’t clean properly (taking it apart to clean broke something), and now I have one from logitech. My parents have a mouse from (I kid you not) 1995. Brand is unknown. There were already “forever” mice out there, it’s just that now they voluntarily make them shit for you to buy a new one.
Just make mice like 20 years ago but in different forms (vertical, ball at the thumb), that can be opened to clean and repair, and we’re fine. No need for your dumb-ass subscription. Fuck off.

What you can do to help
The budget decision is not yet official - so there is still a chance to allocate funds for NGI. It is therefore very important to contact Ursula von der Leyen (President EU Commission), DG Connect, to ask them to make the funds available.
Pressure is also needed from member states. Contact your National Contact Point (NCP) and persuade them to also advocate for the NGI funds to be made available.
The less diversity you have in any ecosystem, the more vulnerable you become, and there’s zero diversity at the top of the internet supply chain. You can pick any core area of the internet and you’ll find a very short list of companies in control.
That natural conclusion of an absolutely free market is a monopoly. With no regulation, one company will end up dominating everything. I can only hope that over time we will have technologies that allow citizens to make big mesh networks.
CrowdStrike is the closest we’ve come to a full-blown internet shutdown. Even with its unprecedented scale, however, the consequences lasted just a few days.
Indeed. I bet you nothing important will come of this. Crowdstrike will survive, maybe with a scrape or two, but will continue to enjoy unfettered access to critical systems world-wide.
If companies were really treated like people, they’d be in jail right now - at least in the US. But they wouldn’t come out reformed, just beaten and bruised, ready to commit more crimes.
The FSF? Is that the one led by the dude who eats his toenails? The one that won’t compromise and is opensource or nothing? The one that doesn’t have any translations? If so, then that ain’t it cuz.
Parldigi was able to compromise to reach a part of their goals and get something this large and important into legislation.
Misread Linux as “nix” and was quite surprised, but he’s reasonable using Linux Mint.
That is true my fine sir.
A-fucking-men.
