  • Open Printer is a fully open-source inkjet with DRM-free ink and no subscriptions

  • I'm biased towards all software being open sourced.

    Certificate marks look potentially useful if many more people cared about the value of open source (software freedom). People who do care probably already know common licenses, and custom licenses do not inspire any confidence (law ain't easy).

    It's difficult to tell when people are internationally misleading others saying "open source" because many devs just say it to mean "you can see the code". Some would sincerely, without ill-intent, call Unreal Engine open source. Would certificate marks promote an understanding?

  • Trademark is for customers to know who made a thing, not how it works or what you do with it.

  • Perhaps I'm just not the target audience for a pretty UI rework but it really grinds my gears to see it be running in Firefox. A whole browser for a GUI is insane?? I'm sure it will improve with time but when it loaded on my VM it reminded me of a virus opening a browser window.

  • Nexus Gamers are going to test gpus on Linux (Bazzite)

  • There are big issues with the modern video games industry. Like a lot of software they deny user's computing freedoms, and as such facilitate designs to repeatedly make money using psychology tricks. However, to reject video games as a waste of time goes to show how one can not know what they're missing.

    Video games are a peak of higher-functioning life: play. A structured form of play which can go beyond physical games. Life is poorer without the immergent stories of a fantasy world (Dwarf Fortress) or competing in a consequence-free violence of street-fighting (Street Fighter).

  • If what you've chosen to learn could help someone right in front of you, and they're asking for help, you do not feel compelled to help them? I doubt that.

  • Let's put that in a way that isn't so off putting. It's the duty of those in the know help those who are not when possible.

  • Ubuntu 25.10's Move To Rust Coreutils Is Causing Major Breakage For Some Executables

  • It's one thing when a company gets the benefits of people's contributions and doesn't give back (in the form of source code when they build upon it and at the time they offer binary files). If a company wants to do the work themselves.. well now they don't have too.

    GPL promoters typically value software freedom, and may believe it's generally bad for society when software is proprietary. I don't know what coreutlis does but I doubt there's a thoughtful reason to choose MIT license for a clone.

  • "Binding arbitration" = "we're taking away your right to sue us"

    Not something they should be allowed to do, just because being sued for illegal activities is expensive.

  • Paying to access content makes a lot more sense that hoping someone willingly watches an advert on their own hardware.

    An indirect, alternate could be universal basic income - which makes it easier for people to choose less profitable options.
