Between shit like this, Crowdstrike, and Microsoft Recall I wonder why anyone even bothers with Windows anymore.
It’s mostly a habit. I’m tech savvy I can even work on BSDs if there’s a necessity but the finance and legal teams at my workplace lose their mind whenever a button changes its place in an app update.
So we’re 400 macOS machines and chugging the remaining Windows users who won’t let go. Wish I could manage a single system only.
Maybe because their company produces pure shit?
I don't think so, to be honest. The bitwarden-sdk had been there for a VERY long time and you could always compile without it. Not being able to build a FOSS client wouldn't hurt bitwarden's bottom line too much. Most people use whatever is provided in the app stores (which is compiled with the source available sdk).
Sure. The majority of the BitWarden client is licensed under the GPL, which categorizes it as “free software”. However, one of the dependencies titled “BitWarden-SDK” was licensed under a different proprietary license which didn’t allow re-distribution of the SDK. For the most part, this was never a problem as FOSS package maintainers didn’t include the dependency (as it was optional) and were able to compile the various clients and keep the freedoms granted by the GPL license. However, a recent change made BitWarden-SDK a required dependency, which violated freedom 0 (the freedom to distribute the code as you please). BitWarden CTO came out and said this was an error and fixed this, making BitWarden SDK an optional dependency once again which now makes BitWarden free software again. For the average joe, this wouldn’t have mattered as BitWarden SDK contains features that are usually favored by businesses and the average Joe can live without. So everything now returns back to normal, hopefully.
Haven’t dived too deep in this case. But aren’t WP engine leeching the open source project while barely contributing back to the OSS project?
look im not a genius as some of these PhDs but i think the solution is a lot simpler than they think
- pay your employees more money
- stop overworking them
When Twitch this I rented a VPS in Russia that costs me $3 a month. I now route all my traffic through it and have no ads in Twitch (and im assuming YT too now?)
This could be funny if it wasn’t so sad. Reminds me of the episode in The Wire where the various departments wouldn’t take responsibility over the dead girls in the can because of they could t pinpoint where exactly they died and when. They care too much for the state. God forbid there’s a lynching and instead of admitting they have a problem they focus on cooking the stats.
Our organization is configured to install N-1 of current release specifically to avoid this type of stuff. Does it matter? No, we got hit just like everyone else.
You mean the game devs they provide CDN at no additional costs, networking features a dev environment that is far more comfortable than any competitor and various additional revenue streams (such as trading cards and items)?
Realistically we only dislike it because it’s a half baked solution. I know that if those LLMs actually did anything useful we wouldn’t mind them. But all these LLMs do is spam the documentation, which is already on the vendor website anyway.
Not a legal mastermind by a long shot but it seems like a DMA violation. Someone needs to get the EU on their ass.
I guess each person has a different approach to antinatalism. I don’t want to bring children into the world because unlike many people who outright lie, I do not think it will bring me joy. I’m also scared that if I bring a child into this world and it will suffer as much as I currently do, I won’t be able to live with the blame.
The devs of this planet are lazy and rehashing content.
Hello.
Although we pirate for various reasons (ideology, no money to spend on entertainment, etc.) I wanted to know if the community actually donates money to any FOSS project? Nearly all of us use a torrent client based on libtorrent (qBit, Transmission, Deluge) or an open source Usenet client such as SABnzbd to consume our pirated content, yet I wonder, how many people here donate to FOSS projects?
I donated 15 euro to KDE in the past, as well as 10 euro to qBittorrent to keep the projects alive. I think that software that respects it's users deserves to be rewarded for doing so. What is your opinion?
Hey everyone, I'm looking for a studying mate so that we can compare each other's code etc. I have a course from work for JS (it's not mandatory) but I feel like if it's any attempt I tried in the past, without anyone to study with I will mostly end up neglecting in a few days.
Which is why I'm reaching out to hopefully find someone who is on the same technical level as me to enrich our knowledge. A bit about myself: I'm a full time SysAdmin with some background knowledge in bash/python/powershell (not making any GUI apps or anything like that, just work related scripts) and I self host a few applications for myself and therefore I don't consider myself a complete beginner.
Private message me, I'm available on both Discord and Matrix.
The ads are a window into a blatantly illegal underground economy that Meta is not only failing to moderate, but is actively profiting from and injecting into users’ feeds.
As the title suggests, I'm in the market for a vacuum that doesn't phone home, not even for initial setup (if possible). This is my first time stepping into home automation so I'm not familiar with the various FOSS projects in the space. I'm comfortable with modding/rooting the vacuum so throw your suggestions, I'll research them.
Hello,
I tried in the past to wrap my head around usenet, and I bought access to some news downloader (iirc it was called that way not sure, but it was Eweka) and tried using it, the problem was that every download I tried to get was dead on arrival (link being dead, failing to verify file integrity) yet so many people on piracy forums swear by Usenet and claim that for ~$60 a year they get a much more superior experience than torrents, and yet, I currently torrent everything with no issues at all.
The reason for trying Usenet that when attempting to search some less popular TV shows/movies, I could not always find it in the quality I wanted to see, and therefore decided to give it a try.
Any suggestions?

So I set up TT-RSS the other day and it's generally nice, the only problem is I'm trying to find feeds that are interesting more or less. For example, we all enjoy watching TV, right? So I took the TV OPML from awesome-rss-feeds on GH and applied it, and was not amused. I don't watch that many television and I very quickly realized that none of the content in those feeds applies to me at all, so I removed it.
Basically, where are the amateur hour feeds? 😅
