open source license violations/takedowns of legitimate open source forks, and other anti consumer practices. casual users likely unaffected, unless you're philosophically offended (rightfully, imo)
The issue the author is explaining is relevant for the Kobo devices currently being sold
Yes. sometimes specs are badly designed. Targeting a constantly moving goalpost for a spec mainly implemented by embedded devices seems to me like, best case, questionable judgement
yeah I'm sure all those children were "terrorists". what a ghoulish thing to say
My ideal software: buggy in ways you can't diagnose, for reasons you can't intuit, reproducible by literally no one in the world, and with no one to file a bug report to
I've found many developers having switched to non-github forges (e.g. forgejo/gitlab/sourcehut or what have you), but particularly self-hosted instances, to sort of opt-out of the culture around mpdern-day open source.…
An inane point. Obviously it's a "preference" rather than a "requirement" that my text editor boot in less than 30 seconds. But it's also not a functional requirement that Home Depot's POS terminals take a long time to…
> They would have been reasonable scifi books (for their time) if they hadn't attempted to follow up the classics. I agree with everything except this. The sequels are by far the worst books I've read this decade. The…
Do you have a link to the youtube channel? "SWEet" isn't really searchable
This implies that the harm caused by this broad surveillance technology is "hypothetical/theoretical", when there is long history in this country's government using private companies to launder otherwise illegal…
This is relatively niche, but that's a thing for anime fan-encodes. Some groups publish their vapoursynth scripts, allow you to produce the same re-encoding (given you have the same source video). e.g.: *…

I'm still salty over them stealing the name of a totally different, open source cross platform UI kit. Classic Microsoft
You're being silly. Nothing they said was FUD, it was just a (not particularly controversial) anecdote
did you just learn about copyleft? It's not a new concept
Modern pixel artists far from "misunderstand" the legacy of pixel art. They're specifically designing for a sensibility and context that didn't exist when pixel art was originally made. Actually talk to pixel artists…
That covers a tiny fraction of ffmpeg's actual interface

Sure, but the ratio is way different. I frequently cook the exact recipe the exact same way as I've done before, but I'd struggle to think of a reason to rewrite the exact same implementation of the same program.
Not to be overly cynical or patronizing, but everybody should really know better than to trust zoom, or any for-profit company really, on things like this
Having run into these issues with Pydantic, we've been using Mashumaro[1], which, while not having all the bells and whistles of Pydantic, has served us pretty well. 1: https://github.com/Fatal1ty/mashumaro
FYI: https://unpaywall.org/
Even accounting for that (ignoring that the data served over FTP and HTTP aren't always perfectly equivalent), it still leaves a lot of stuff that is only served over ftp. Google found it a convincing enough argument to…
That explains it perfectly, thank you. It also raises interesting questions about the metaphysics of copyright/intellectual property
