What is that link?

Beuh, fuck the HDMI forum. I hope the spec is leaked and somebody just makes a kernel module which implements it.

It will be replaced by GDMI which the Chinese invented in the future anyway.

I really suggest you read the post. Your arguments have already been addressed there. GPL and AGPL do absolutely nothing for maintainer and dev compensation.

The community has told us that “open source” has a particular meaning to them and suggested we call it “source available” instead. We have been reluctant to do so for numerous reasons .

I suggest you read the article as you are simply using the OSI bible. The bible of those calling AI code opensource , mind you.

Because Microsoft

Extremely. The constant purity checks of “this is not opensource because this org said so” is like bible thumping. “The good book of Christ says this is how the world is made and it is sacrilege to claim otherwise”.

Our use of the term “open source” thus far has been not out of carelessness, but out of disdain for OSI approved licenses which nevertheless allow developers to be exploited by large corporate interests. The OSI, an organization with confidential charter members and large corporate sponsors, does not have any legal right to say what is and is not “open source”. It is arrogant of them to lay claim to the definition.

I’m 100% onboard with this. FUTO is opensource in all the ways I care about. It’s anti-bigtech and pro compensation of maintainers and developers. They are good in my book.

Big boo hoo. Innovate or die. As it should be.

AOC is a programmer?

Actual value creator probably earns less than somebody working at some surveillance tech company invading people’s privacy.

KDE Connect

Allows connecting to other devices with KDE connect and sharing files, controlling media players, sending text messages, controlling the mouse and keyboard (if the device has that), and much more.

I install it by default on every device I have and even setup a computer as a media player in my living room that I control with my phone. Just connect an old laptop or desktop with Wake On Land or with autosleep and autologin and you won’t need a firestick or whatever.

Will it involve coming in contact with the owner of the social media accounts? Because that dude is way too agro.

A few Euros vs 600 is quite a difference.

“If I need to write boilerplate and learn a new skill, is it really worth it?”

That’s a good question I dont have an answer to. Maybe there are ways to short where you can just hold, but I dont know how. Maybe there’s a way to borrow lots of RAM and GPUs, sell them, then buy them back when the price drops and sell them for cheap back to whom you borrowed. But I dont know who would make that deal.

Same thing happening to me @aeharding@lemmy.world. Thought it was a fluke and that the recent update would fix it but it just happened again after the update.

Please be a nice bubble and pop soon, AI.

I do think it is, but only if you dive into what the services and modules do, or if you create some yourself. Most packages are created for mainstream distros and you will have to adapt how they work to nixos’s mode of working. In doing so, you will learn - at least I have.

I know more about systemd, kde’s configuration, bash, opengl, library paths, and more because of having to go through the pain of making it work ok nix/nixos.

It is arguably also quite valuable to see how something is done in nixos as a kind of documentation in code for how to configure other software. Where changing an option’s value in nixos kicks of a bunch of things, on other systems you have to either trust that the package has scripts to do that, or imperatively do those steps yourself.

The skills seem quite transferable to me, IMHO.

Javascript just made it very easy to add libraries. I bet you if it C++ had an ecosystem as easy to use as Javascript, it would be the wildest mess you could imagine. Someone would create a package chock full of generics that sends your credentials to a foreign server during compilation but output a completely fine binary. But making dependency management easy in C++ would kill the elitist allure to the language and we can’t have that now, can we?
