It seems like the author is confusing open source with Open Source. The latter has a formal definition which includes a lot more than simple access to source code.

I also agree that no one is entittled to free support or enhancements, bugfizes, etc.

Lack of podcasts is a plus for me. Thanks for the suggestion.

I can barely read the site. Light gray text on a bright white background is fucked up for people with even slight vision degradation.

I’ve been a Spotify subscriber since 2012 and every year it has gotten worse and worse in term of UX.

I think this is the year I quit and go back to buying and ripping CDs.

I’ve been a happy daily linux user for over 20 years. No need to wait for “linux to succeed” whatever that means. It has gotten better and more advanced every year since I first switched.

That sounds backwards to me lol

Sorry but the pinephone is not great. I have one and its extremely underpowered to the point of uselessness.

Its like trying to use a 486 to as a current desktop.

I’ve come to realize that bluesky already had all lot of what I’m happy to not see on masto. Good that there is a place for it to exist without me.

That content is also probably what the majority of people like about it.

Languages are the original open source and will never stop forking right off however enough people form and propagate them, dude

I always forget how cute their little island english is with all the extra letters and fun ways they mutate loan words!

Been using linux on my desktop since 1999. Don’t need an official declaration.

Windows? You have exactly 10 seconds to get the hell out of my house!

Docker as a technology is a misguided mess but it is an effective tool.

Podman is a much better design that solves the same problem.

Containers can be used well or very poorly.

Docker makes it easy to ship something without knowing anything about System Engineering which some see as an advantage, but I don’t.

At my shop, we use almost no public container images because they tend to be a security nightmare.

We build our own images in-house with strict rules about what can go inside. Otherwise it would be absolute chaos.

Sure but your goal is illumination not power savings.

A smart bulb uses a small amount of power even when off becauae it stays wifi connected.

You don’t need a smart bulb to have a motion sensor. There are many inexpensive options that will use less power than a smart bulb.

If the goal is saving energy smart bulbs are almost never the best choice

I don’t underatand how any schedule would save energy over my current method of simply turning on lights when I’m in a dark room and turning them off when I leave.

Surely a schedule would have them on more. Do you leave lights on in empty rooms?

People used to call the Reference Desk at their local public library to ask a question and get an answer.

I mean labeling their posts accurately to give other the choice.

Bluesky is already coming apart. My partner uses it and last night she got a video of a person being shot in her feed. No warning. No label. Just blam!

Their influx of new users don’t all want to participate in labeling and moderation and they don’t seem to be able to handle it.

Rufu beta is such a thin wrapper it will happily write code or essays for you.
