can we stop advertising this app already? it's not open source. people needs to stop licking Rossmann's ass.
right to repair is great, we can all agree in that. but when it comes to software, the guy can't stand the idea of people using his source as they please and he wrote a source available license and keeps calling it open source. as other comments have pointed out, it is not.
the web server? absolutely!
the arbitrary code they send to my browser? I must be able to choose what to execute in my device.
I'm sure they won't be any cheaper. Nvidia can be as greedy as they want given the low competition they have.
If indie devs, for example, aren't getting the same deal, it sounds anticompetitive to me.
(I'm no Epic fan, just a random thought)
I'm against driverless cars, but I don't think this type of errors can be detected in a lab environment. It's just impossible to test with every single car model or real world situations that it will find in actual usage.
An optimal solution would be to have a backup driver with every car that keeps an eye on the road in case of software failure. But, of course, this isn't profitable, so they'd rather put lives at risk.
they detect adblock by executing proprietary JavaScript code in my browser, using my CPU cycles. I paid for that CPU and I can choose what code gets executed and what not.
That JavaScript code is also privacy invasive and I'm not letting a mega corporation recollect information about myself. So yeah, I'll block whatever I want from my browser. And if that makes Google loose money, they are more than welcomed to look for a business model other than advertising.
short answer: no
I honestly don't care what the guy had to say. Removing parts from his speech without telling him is plain awful.
I'm actually pro LGTB and hate Wayland. Don't make us all look as conservative scumbags. Some of use just hate Red Hat (IBM) because of their big corp nature.
I'll buy a framework when they finally add the Coreboot support they promised.
if such a thing is happening, the article utterly fails to address the technologies they are using to censor this. it just mentions some disabled hashtags.
it does not belong to a tech community.
those days the web was way simpler than it is now. complexity has doomed every web engine not maintained by a mega corp (and some that were, Microsoft killed their own).
what if I meet Joe and take a selfie of both of us using my phone? how will people know that my selfie is an authentic Joe Biden?
Louis Rossmann can go to fuck himself and his source available app that he keeps calling open source.
Newpipe existed long before Grayjay and will probably be there when grayjay dies since Newpipe's license allows community forks. If the Newpipe team ceases development, others will take their place. If Rossmann ceases development, his app is left for dead
Jan is just a frontend. It supports various models under multiple licence. It also supports some proprietary models.
I prefer to use Tor, but whatever makes you happy.
Client side code isn't the only way to track someone, but it's one of the options. And fingerprinting browsers using JavaScript is an extended practice.
Anyway, you're missing my point. My browser, my rules. I'll just block any script that annoys me.
Ethernet is an standard. as long as standards are open (and they should be, by definition) they can't die as long as there is an use for them.
resourceful actors? anyone can run a local LLM in their laptop. yes, they are worse at generating text than chatgpt but they are getting there.
the fingerprint solution is useless and something that only the tech illiterate would seriously propose.
someone needs to make this in stable diffusion. a rat with elon's face gnawing on wires.
no.
Grayjay is proprietary. Use Newpipe, which is what Piped's extractor is based on.
that's ironic, because Firefox on iOS is just rebranded Safari, as is every other browser on iOS.
these apps do not use any official API. if they used it, they would be obliged to comply with the terms of services that most likely force them to show ads or track the users or some other bullshit.
of course these unofficial viewers break from time to time, but in my experience they have been super quick releasing patches fixing it and the user experience is way way better than the official web or app. Fast UI without bloat, no ads, no algorithms, etc.
you don't have to pay for a +1000$ device to switch to Linux. In most cases, you can just install it in the same machine you have Windows.
It's more like replacing Samsung's Android ROM with a custom ROM. Sure, you'll have to learn new things to use it, but you don't have to buy an iPhone.
but you have the use for the very software you're using daily or medicine developments.
I play D&D from time to time, but saying that roleplaying is more important than medicine is just nuts.
it's too much of a coincidence that the removed parts were the most controversial ones. that's a pretty weird change for allegedly an "older draft version".
additionally, it's not the first time Apple has removed controversial topics in a short period of time. I might not agree with DeNiro at all, but I'm convinced that those parts of the script were removed purposefully by Apple.
by definition?
the Free Software Foundation, the ones that started the whole idea of sharing code as a philosophy of software, do not consider source available as free software or "open source".
It does not meet Eric S Raymond's definition, the one who invented the term "open source".
It does not meet the Open Source Initiative definition either.
Even Wikipedia gives the right definition of open source:
They grant the recipient the rights to use the software, examine the source code, modify it, and distribute the modifications.
So stop defending Rossmann and admit that the app is not open source.
I'm in mastodon but I wouldn't mind trying Bluesky when there are third party servers.
they should be doing that, otherwise I don't get how they are making any profit with those huge electricity bills. Last time I checked it, with electricity prices it wasn't worth it to mine cryptocurrency.
yeah, I do not agree with a lot of the guy's opinions, but I respect that instead of playing ball with Apple he took his phone and read his own speech.
I have to, the alternative is Windows, but I've also been exploring OpenBSD.
Subject to the terms of this license, we grant you a non-transferable, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to access and use the code solely for the purposes of review, compilation and non-commercial distribution.
note how this explicitly leaves out modification.
You may provide the code to anyone else and publish excerpts of it for the purposes of review, compilation and non-commercial distribution, provided that when you do so you make any recipient of the code aware of the terms of this license, they must agree to be bound by the terms of this license and you must attribute the code to the provider
once again, they exclude modification of the code.
no forks can be made because they aren't allowed to modify the app in anyway.
Additionally, the termination clauses say that they can just terminate your rights to use the code if they feel like it, no other reason needed. This is a direct attack against open source.
wtf that was not misinformation. you need to be logged in when making searches, they can log everything you search server-side and tie it to the same person.
every time I search something in SearXNG they have no way of telling I'm the same person if my IP has changed. but this is impossible with Kagi. they need to know your account.
they have basically 0 transparency of their server side, we don't have any code. It's like trusting a VPN provider not to log your every connection because "trust me, bro". this is a necessary risk for using a VPN but not for search engines and I wouldn't recommend anyone to take such a risk when better alternatives exist.
Physical records make good money for the artists, if it weren't for the greedy discographies of course.
poor people can't enjoy art now? what you're proposing is artificially creating an economic barrier to access art just because you consider that people who are born in developing countries aren't interested in art.
also, there are a tons of people who buy android phones even if they can afford an iPhone because Apple's devices are a golden jail.
this guy is insufferable. these videos are just unnecessarily long speeches that would fit an article so much better than a video.
not to mention that his whole YouTube/Odysee channel is disguised advertisement for their businesses.
this is not open source. from their license:

I don't get why they are downvoting you. It's absolutely true that last month she's been more on the news than at any other given time the last 5 years.
you're not a tech guy, you're a tech enthusiast.
someone who understands computers will reduce the "smart" devices in their home to the minimum.
does Windows Server Essentials comes with a desktop GUI? Can you install Steam and things like that like you'd normally do in Windows?
I'm happy with Linux, but my brother who is a gamer has Windows but he's annoyed af by updates and the AI nonsense. This seems like a perfect solution.
you're right in almost everything
Meta has a massive amount of resources, I'm sure they can afford more lawyers than the British company. Courts tend to favor the one with most resources, so the smaller company will have a very hard time trying to make Meta to change their app's name.
