They’re probably tired of being used just as a customer for the military industrial complex and want to go back to their normal lives. They also probably have a ton of intel on the enemy’s weaknesses to shut putin and his cronies down.

I hope they succeed at the earliest.

Also the ISP probably knows most of the servers speedtest owns and accelerate speeds for them along with other popular speed test websites, while throttling other regular connections.

Handing it off to someone creates a whole new set of second hand responsibility, if the new maintainers go on to add something malicious.

a la: xz backdoor

The creator was shunned until everyone figured out he had handed it off to someone else.

If someone wants to continue, they can always fork it.

The only app in my opinion that has kind of reasonable size is their voice recognition, while it looks kind of ugly compared to Transcribro.

I think an icon of a microphone for a STT app is much much much better than that UX disaster Transcribo is. lol

I’ve been wanting a ccTLD domain that’s unused for a few years. The registrar suspended the domain (required contacts not updated) and put up a standard suspended notice, but doesn’t release the domain.

I guess the owner is a domain squatter and keeps paying the bill, so the registrar keeps getting paid. Easy money

There’s a reason most of the regular posters on reddit and (probably lemmy too? it isn’t hard to automate these things) are likely run by marketing agencies. Post relevant posts 90% of the time, comment occasionally, and then sneak in a post or ad disguised as an article rest of the time.

All run by virtual assistant in some third world countries for that human touch.

I found both sides rather aggressive to be honest.

This was what I thought as well. The PR was a simple request that I thought wasn’t political at all, just a matter of inclusion which I thought fit. Kling got aggressive thinking it was a political move or some shit then the rest piled on calling him names and such.

I think he just thought it was bringing politics into his project, I don’t think he was taking any sides at all but people made up their minds. His silence is a bit concerning, probably ignoring it all but, whatever, It’s his project.

Be the change you want to see. Make some games worth playing and release it as a FOSS and prove it can be a commercial success as well. See how it goes.

Asking people to release their work for free while providing very little incentives other than your own benefit aren’t going to convince people who need to put food on the table NOW, without relying on miniscule probability of popularity or success after pouring years of your time.

Developers also need to make money to live and survive. Why do you think you’re entitled to all of their work for free? If it’s such an inconvenience, you should try your hand at coding an alternative and giving all of it for free. We’re waiting.

This can’t be stressed enough.

Your personal preferences are not the problem of the FOSS community. If it’s a problem for you, fork it and do as you please.

The security issue was found in a development build, not a production release. There were no users to benefit from the CVE, because none were affected. If there were exceptions that were using development builds, it on them.

I just scraped your profile and used it for training my commercial AI product. sue me b.

no one asked you to?

Writing also need vast amount research, which also involves a search engine, which at some point in time you begin to get fed up with spam, and maybe just may be, if you’re actually smart as people think you are, you begin to look for an alternative.

but I also don’t know what to tell people who believe everything they read on the internet.

Exactly, We don’t know what he does all day and it’s creepy you have this weird imagination going through. Like seriously? He probably could be checking the balance that kagi sent him for this post.

Why are people so obsessed with internet personalities just because they say “nice” things you like? This is what every one of them does.

Honestly, in medium to big projects, 2 seems like mostly astroturfing from companies who really want to hide the fact that they benefit financially but use alt accounts to push toxic bullying like “you’re not following opensource principle, not foss this, not foss that, you do this or we’re going to make a scene” when maintainers try to get any semblance of authority over their own projects.

Linux was not a serious project and a random hobby toy things.

Hello everybody out there using minix -

I’m doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won’t be big andprofessional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing since april, and is starting to get ready. I’d like any feedback on things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat (same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons) among other things).

Try to be less condescending less time about other people’s work.

They didn’t but open source enthusiasts hate it when developers even try to imply not wanting their contributions used without attribution, it’s basically killing puppies in this community.

They’ll only ever use it to make money themselves without anything in return just like the corporations who do the same but then they’ll call themselves morally principled for reasons.

que a moron trying to explain why opensource developers should bend to their will about what “opensource” should be for them.

Still going to use the heck out if it. It’s super useful in my workflow and firefox at heart. I want to be more productive, not poorductive on some weird purist idealism.
