lol only took 15 years… that’s how long ago it was when I had to write complete/custom replacement software to handle HDR on blackmagic devices instead because gstreamer couldn’t do it.
Open source is the very worst thing currently going on because it is so incredibly exploitative, it’s far more exploitative than any actual company is of the workers who work at the company.
Even the people who are getting paid in open source are getting massively underpaid to do it compared to how much the people who are using their code are making, it’s nothing compared to the power that is accreted by the people who have co-opted that work thanks to the open source model. And then mark zuckerberg gets to define how the internet works despite having paid for almost none of the software that his company actually needed to make that work.
It’s like feudalism or serfdom, these people did the work and got nothing for it. It’s like you took the worst aspects of capitalism for workers and the worst aspects of socialism for workers and put them together, that’s open source. You get no power and you get no money.
It’s exploitative whether the people chose to be exploited, just because someone chooses to let you exploit them does not mean that you didn’t exploit them. And for the record that’s how most exploitation works; convincing people to do something that turns out to be very bad for them and very good for you, and that’s exactly what the open source movement has turned out to be.
I really don’t see the “we post stuff on github under a gpl2 or lgpl or apache or mit license”, all that is to me now is just exploitation. You can say that there’s solutions but until someone demonstrates that those solutions work, it’s the standard “real communism has never been tried” argument. AGPL is the only thing that I’ve seen so far that’s an attempt to fix these fundamentally unfair compensation practices.
Why do so many programmers seem to be learning Japanese? I have been noticing this trend for literally decades at this point.
Why were changes to the kernel necessary at all? Besides UEFI, how does RPiOS work without all those other peripheral changes?
I assume this still requires the original ICs be acquired and soldered on?
Serious question: how much AI was used to make this?
firmware
unveils LibrePhone
aims to create a fully free and open mobile platform
So it doesn’t actually exist? I cannot find any information about it at all.
Cue my lack of surprise when they realize there are no 5g compatible basebands with open firmware, and you can’t practically make your own.
I will be even less surprised that they probably won’t support 5g at all.
this isn’t a violation unless there are contributers who didn’t consent to a proprietary distribution.
Analyzing the disassembly of the pro and open source binaries shows that the pro version is definitely based on the open source version.
That would include changes made later on in the OSS version, that were backported to Pro without permission from the original authors.

How does this compare to Chitchatter?
It used to be an awesome clone of the famous MS Trackball Explorer (now that the patent has expired), but apparently they have completely changed the design and don’t offer it anymore: https://www.trackballmouse.org/ploopy-classic/
Unfortunately I’m not interested in this new design at all.
If anyone is still looking for an explorer clone, I highly recommend Sanwa.
Why write it in two completely different languages?
Or you can use unmodified latest chrome/firefox with One-Core-API
What is your definition of TV in this context? All of these are 55"+, some even show pictures of it in a living room…
