CLA and copyright assignment are different things. In some jurisdictions copyright assignment is impossible. That was among the clashes European FOSS contributors had with the Free Software Foundation and Richard Stallmann in the 1990s and 2000s.
MIT license already allows this, with or without CLA.
That’s why you can also take Microsoft’s MIT code and make proprietary software out of it.
No, Windows has various subsystems. This one is for Linux.
When Windows NT 3.5 launched, it came with subsystems for POSIX, OS/2, and Win32 because in the WinNT world even the Windows frameworks are a subsystem. Disclaimer: I didn’t check if in Win11 this is still the case but I guess so.
I think the post in itself is informational, many of the comments are not.
Post stays, comments get locked.
At least they disable the monetization features of Brave but making stupid Google Meet such a hard requirement to compromise of all ethics? WTF?
I’m locking this because too many people are shouting at each other here because of moderation practices.
This is not a complaints forum. See pinned post.
You still need a HDR-capable screen.
it makes sense, now, why Valve would choose KDE for the Steam Deck (which has a touchscreen).
I like my Steam Deck but I must be honest here: Desktop Mode, which is Plasma 5 and not the latest 6.x release, is trash on that touch screen. It just a shrunken regular desktop. You can use some environment variables to affect a few QtQuick applications but the results are mixed. There are KDE applications what are designed for mobile but don’t even consider the possibility of anything but portrait screen orientation. SteamOS doesn’t ship with a proper Maliit keyboard, it’s just Steam’s built-in one which never pops up automatically outside of Steam and Steam games.
Plasma 5 on that tiny screen isn’t enjoyable at all. It kinda, sorta works but I’m happy the touch pads exist.
Yeah, especially for new AMD hardware a rolling release distribution is must have. My personal recommendation is openSUSE but the specific pick is secondary.
I feel like Windows tries with every change to push it’s users to Linux.
Even their core applications move to being web based.
If the BlueSky protocol offers tangible benefits over ActivityPub, the BlueSky protocol could become the basis for ActivityPub 2.0. I don’t know much about the details, though.
I’d say questions regarding the leanings of specific instances are legitimate and those have been answered but questions regarding what constitutes terrorism and the motivations of fighters in armed conflicts are out of scope for this community. This is just a community about the Fediverse on Lemmy World, we don’t arbitrate moderation disagreements here.
I thought that’s in perceptual pre release.
Fuck Hyprland, its developers, and its asshole community. Context: https://drewdevault.com/2024/04/09/2024-04-09-FDO-conduct-enforcement.html
Retail Android ships with Google’s proprietary PDF viewer. GrapheneOS isn’t the default experience.
Fuck Brave and fucks its owner Brendan Eich.
Don’t promote that despicable company in any way.
If you think that Brave is the best option, look up what a scumbag Brendan Eich is and the shady monetizing practices the company introduced.
The main argument coming against it is not following the “Unix philosophy” which I’m a proponent for
Gosh, don’t use a “GNU’s Not Unix” system then!
Poettering now works for Microsoft
systemd has no copyright assignment or CLA. Poettering could work for Putin and systemd as proper Free Software project would not be affected that much.
this has led to a rampant monopolisation of the init system.

That’s literally the opposite of a monopoly. You can make a fork of systemd now and call it lemmyd.
MKVToolNix has a great cropping feature that completely lossless because it just writes an information into the file how many pixels to leave out.
The massive problem since quite some time is that I’m not aware of any media player respecting this. VLC used to support it but a decade ago suddenly stopped: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/13982
If you have the originals, maybe encode them again. HandBrake has a nice preview feature.
