Quite true. Linux and all modules loaded into it are GPL licensed. The userland and tooling on the other hand can be licensed however. They are free to close source on anything except kernel code.

This is the first step in moving to fully closed source. I guess degooled versions are getting too popular thus a threat to google’s business.

You can set the webpage to self refresh on interval by itself no extensions needed.

“Page refresh”. You mean F5 (or ctrl + r) right?

All of these already sound shady.

Groovy and Kotlin borrowing heavily from Java. Groovy and Kotlin are also very similar to each other.

Excellent article. That’s why I use OSS first and foremost as they don’t have the incentive to bring in € instead they are more focused on a quality product.

Filen is good. Works like a charm. Back in the days I got their pay once for 100GB of storage package and am very happy about it. Looks like they have the starter 100GB lifetime available still i.e. pay only once.

I use that myself though haven’t sent a sms/mms in like > 10 years. Anyhow FOSS > stock spyware any day. The fossify project has many other useful tools as well.

Just because something was last updated last year doesn’t mean they aren’t up-to-date. Not all software need constant updating. It’s an illusion that software must be updated constantly. If it’s feature complete and there are no known issues with it why bother.

Kdenlive is software I’ve seen recommended for video editing.

They didn’t use very comprehensive research methods. Also they only used Github.

First, from the GHTorrent data set, we extract the email addresses of GitHub users. Second, for each email address, we use the search engine in the Google+ social network to search for users with that email address. Third, we parse the returned users’ ‘About’ page to scrape their gender.

a bias against men exists, that is, a form of reverse discrimination.

How is it reverse discrimination. It’s still plain old discrimination. I’m starting to smell a biased research here. Or at least the researchers have a bias.

This research isn’t peer reviewed so I wouldn’t take it at face value just yet.

There’s a dialog within the program to enter your key though I haven’t checked if it connects to the internet at that point. I use an account so I can easily use it on several computers.

It doesn’t auto update and you don’t need to login. You can enter your key directly.

They also offer their software for free for open source projects.

For now. I’m quite sure that option will disappear at some point in the not too distant future.
