That relies on donations which may or may not come. I understand in a perfect world that makes sense, but in the real world even those foundations often rely on corporate muscle. Without that enterprise money, I’m not sure how they’d stand.

This is probably a minority opinion, but I think OSS prospers most when there is corporate muscle behind it.

A company with paid engineers that puts engineering time into fixing and bettering open source software can possibly be a good company.

Closed source ends up being the worst of all worlds. If there is an issue, you’re stuck waiting for someone else to possibly fix it. At least in open source, either you can try to fix it, or you can pay someone else to try to fix it.

At the end of the day, I think a lot of the Linux success actually comes down to this.

Honestly good on them for keeping the spirit alive for just about everyone who isn’t a direct competitor of theirs.

Let them make some money to continue to fund it. They even invalidated all sponsorships because of the license change.

Unless you personally were willing to fund whatever they make on their integration, then this is an ok play in my book.

Corporate executives love using the word pause to allow the possibility for a resume. It also makes it not a failure since it never finishes negatively: it is paused.

It’s word gymnastics.

I still hope as part of the antitrust ruling, they rip chrome from Google and undo this crap.

I’ve had good luck with uBlock Lite.

(Yes I could swap browsers but nah).

There’s another free video editor called shotcut. Give it a try, works great.

I might be misunderstanding the licenses so correct me if wrong.

Can companies use GPL code internally without release as long as the thing written with it doesn’t get directly released to the public?

… or does GPL pollute everything even if used internally for commercial purposes?

Thankfully we can federate bot posts to make that easier :P

All local. Nothing sent. You can choose to not believe it, but it’s deceptive to imply they don’t say it’s local.

If you don’t believe them it’s one thing but they said what they said.

Lots of comments in here saying this sends stuff to Microsoft and yet that isn’t true. It’s an offline local feature.

I personally look forward to giving it a try.

I always worry the the backup USB drive would be dead.

I guess I’m one minority but kind of like an ability to fetch the key from the web. Doing that securely of course can be tough.

Yep. Someone thinks the Google name has some crazy value.

Probably bureaucracy. Also an inability to pivot even when things make no sense. Everything is a giant freight train that has very little ability to change direction or stop.

Oh and of course a healthy taste of not being transparent or honest.

‘in the 10s’

… man I feel old now lol.

Unless your lists are 1000s of items long, just use text files in a folder.

Could even go fancy and use markdown.

Then just ask to not be facial scanned. Last airport I went to had signs saying you could opt out.

Then you don’t need weird glasses either.

If the scan fails, they’ll just ask you to take them off.

They have you take your sunglasses off.

Recommend cloudflare for DNS. I use it for DDNS via API and it works great.

You also basically pay the wholesale rate without markup for the domain.

It’s exciting, but man there are lots of assumptions in native python built around the gil.

I’ve seen lists, etc. modified by threads assuming the gil locks for them. Testing this e2e for any production deployment can be a bit of a nightmare.
