I presume that their employers just had terms that essentially gave the whole IP to the employer. And GPL is conflicting that, especially if they were producing the code using employers equipment, which essentially makes all the code to belong to employer. At the same time, GPL maintains the IP on the author of the code.

Not a lawyer, though I heard that some far-eastern companies have copied the US policymaking, which allows full separation of IP from the author.

Somehow, though, people invest more and more resources into making both more real at the same time lol

'Cause trying to build AGI is speeding up the warning xD

There are folks form KDE who are trying to implement the Plasma Bigscreen solution: https://plasma-bigscreen.org/. Seems promising to me :)

Though, I’d still recommend to use an external device to avoid breaking the TV OS up ;)

I love trams. So nice way of getting around!

The web ui with integration of email ecosystem for all those things are one of core selling points of https://sr.ht/

I’d say this list is not about moving towards FLOSS, but more about breaking up with Google services. Some replacements are betters, some worse, but definitely in each column there is at least one non-floss application 🤔

I’ve been following the software forge federation some time ago, and didn’t feel to pick up even when it was discusssed initially. It is a neat idea on high-level, though it requires forges to implement it, which has a risk of not picking up (just look at how much iterations of social media federation protocols was there, until ActivityPub arose).

On the other hand, all of the forges are based on a distributed technology out of the box: git. Most of the “modern days” comforts there are, are just built on top, and there are different ways to approach it.

As an example, you can send patches directly to the author in email. Is heavily implemented and suggested by https://sr.ht/ (1) — a software forge, which focuses on building a federated workflow by using email for communication (which is federated by design). This way, you can create “Pull Requests” without having account on the forge — all you need to do is just submit a patch. Author is very vocal about supporting it (2), and provides quite useful guides to learn (3), (4)

Generally, I’d say that e-mail is the only federative implementation you can get so far :)

TBH, when I visited Athens, it felt like the most car-centric capital I’ve ever visited in my life (haven’t been to US though). Fascinating comparison to be :)

What I can see clearly is that nation overall supports the warfare, and the annexation of neighbouring country — either silently, or loudly. This sentiment was there for even pre-full-scale invastion time period, even in anti-putinists circles (the “Crimea is not a sandwich” statement supporting that1).

There is an extreme minority that is against war, though they are against war in principle, and make no action to support the warfare to any side.

Russian text in the video makes me very suspicious…

Oooh, thanks, looks neat!

If only she new how Maria Skłodowska-Curie died, she wouldn’t be as happy for the resemblance…

This sounds really nice, though I see in article mostly mentioned “assigned amount of money”, and “items sent”. Nothing about actual industrial production within EU, which makes me feel a bit suspicious.

'Cause budget allocation is a fine topic, yet real value brought by that money allocation might differ to quite an extent 🤔

I very much enjoy the idea of vignettes that is quite popular in EU: every driver driving highway is obliged to buy a pass to drive the high-speed road (which are usually higher polluters than slow-speed ones). IMO that is the best solution there, especially because I hate it so much as a driver.

The price is not as high, yet when you are going for a long car-trip, you have to plan it in advance. At the same time, driving through 3-4 countries can easily add 50-60€ to the trip price in vignettes only, which is quite discouraging (taking into account that is half of price for the petrol for that long travel).

But on macOS it just uses Apple’s own WebKit fork, so it is very expected: WebKit is very optimised towards Apple hardware on macOS and iOS.

Gosh, that’s like about 50 kmph, that is really too quick for people that usually lack any protection. Person riding a bike even with helmet can get quite an injury if gets into an accident…

Each time I see anything like that, I just disengage with the content

What a nice time to be a fan of strategy genre

Sad it works that way. Though, I clearly remember why it happens this way with me: each time I told “I forgot”, I was punished, so I became a perfect liar: I can come up with a realistic story in so short time nobody ever notices.
