That framework laptop tho 💦💦💦
Edit: the comments on here really show that 1) people just read headlines and 2) many people cannot think for themselves and will just quote or regurgitate from whichever text they were indoctrinated without second thought. The “but it’s not free as in freedom” and “it’s not opensource because it’s not OSI” comments show up on every single post about this topic. It’s like people referring to the bible and screaming “blasphemy” when someone says something that doesn’t fit. Or like people losing their minds because a non-white actor is “not canon”.
I wish people had to answer multiple choice questions before being allowed to comment. Maybe it would make them actually think instead of just spew their religious bile all over the comment section.
I’ve been thinking about using business source license for my projects. Fuck MAGAF and other companies for taking advantage of opensource devs, making billions and not wanting to contribute back or even support the dev.
Once the Post-Open license is finalised, there’s a good chance it’ll become my default instead of AGPL or BSL.
61·7 days agoHow does one get a job like this? This is great! I want to get a job in a school or university and infect it with linux. “Guys, look! It’s cheaper and we can set it up then pay for support which still makes it cheaper and students can learn how to use it on their computers too, since it’s freely available to them!”
1·8 days agoPython is case insensitive? Or do mean that it’s not? The phrasing is a little confusing.
With the current conservative government Germany has, the same that
fucked up the country for 15 yearskept the country “stable” for 15 years, it sounds like their promise for river internet. What’s German river penetration like nowadays? 5%? After 20 years of “investment”?Lol. It’s more likely that the US will get a grip and Microsoft or even Apple can swoop in an sell their crap to politicians.
So it’s absolutely not happening within 20 years 🤣
91·11 days agoWhat is this? It jumps in explaining features and details about other stuff, but doesn’t explain the basic goal. There are also no screenshots except of some table. It’s not clear how to use this thing.
Understandable. It’s a pity Google is so embedded in our systems. You can still get a fairphone though. It also comes with regular android. I’ve read in multiple places not to get the official fairphone case. You might have to check why that is.
The good thing about the fairphone is that it has the highest reparability raring of any current phone out there. You can swap put the screen, battery, and other components very easily when things go haywire.
And of course it’s one of the very few companies on this world that tries to give a shit about slavery in the supply chain.
I know somebody’s going to day “get a pixel and put grapheneOS, it’s the most secure phone in the planet”. I don’t know if the Swedish apps dependent on google services will work, but if you do decide to go google hardware, you can try and get it secondhand.
Fairphone with eOS if you want to get away from Google even more. No google services but access to f-droid and the play store with anonymous accounts.
Or, get a second-hand phone and flash it with eOS or lineage OS.

Unfortunately the opensource community is heavily disorganised. We don’t have a group to represent us, market opensource, push for its use in public office, fight for compensation for maintainers and developers, and so much more. A concerted effort could possibly accelerate adoption and make it possible for more people to earn a living from opensource, not just the lucky few who can do it in their free time and transition to a paid/funded position.
Thanks for the response. So there’s a bunch of stuff to do myself but also surprisingly enough stuff for an editor.
I’ll take a deeper look at it.
After reading this, I’m kinda curious how it compares to JetBrains. It’s becoming more and more VSCode like and I’m not a fan.
Does Kate support or have plugins for renaming symbols, presenting documentation, formatting files, showing code diagnostics beyond syntax errors (for example code smells or so), have AI integration (explain this, rewrite this, replace this with prompt output, …), specific framework integrations (reactjs, django, actix, …), and stuff like expanding macros in C/C++ and Rust?
As you said, it’s out of the box/bag. The thing I’ll push for is open sourcing all code. Being able to copy opensource code and hide it in proprietary code is to me the biggest problem. Were everything opensource, I doubt anybody would bat an eye. “You copied my code and put it out there publicly, free of charge? Good. Do it again”.
Personally, I license everything as restrictively as possible for companies and would love an enforcable opensource license that figures out how to make companies contribute back or pay for use of the code.
Not specially you, just a comment about the license: OP’s problem with attribution is minor. The major problem they have is that Microsoft took his time to get a personal intro to the project, forked it and didn’t contribute back. That’s what he’s unhappy about. That there was no attribution is barely important.
Yes, choosing MIT doesn’t require hem to contribute back and it should’ve been a restrictive opensource license, but it seems he really thought they asked for a call in order to join in on the development.
Why do you believe windows is required to stay connected with the world? Are there specific applications you believe can only run on windows or for which you believe there is no alternative?
Just in case, you can have a look at https://alternativeto.net/ , input your windows application and find opensource alternatives that run on Linux. You can make a list and double check with the community here.
I ask because there might be a possibility for you to go full Linux. It depends on your requirements.
125·18 days agoAgreed. I wish moderators would ban those people from linux communities and more users would report their elitist behaviour. It’s really annoying to ask a question and get belittled for having the audacity of being ignorant.
I understand these people lack power elsewhere in their lives and want to be powerful where they believe themselves to be experts, but it’s a real pity they express it with a complete lack of empathy. If you don’t want to help, don’t say anything. Let somebody who does want to help nicely do the helping.
Wow, people like you really should be banned from Linux communities for beginners. You’re a detriment to them.
And already the purists are going “if I may interject for a moment” or screaming “reeeee”, as was expected. It’s like they can’t comprehend that the world has changed and that text written 25 years ago doesn’t stay correct, applicable, or right forever.
The pearl clutching gasp of “but this is against scripture” truly never gets old.
If it’s on peertube, I might follow it. On YouTube, even if I watched it, it’d be through yt-dlp and thus no views for you (at least not officially).
