I agree that it's better than the "open core" model because it limits by time rather than space, as they say, but it kinda misses the point of open-source software. The conflict of interest is that they effectively want to be the only ones who can profit off the software, while still benefiting from the free work of others, but commercial-use is within the open-source definition.
My real issue is that it seems like they're trying to spin it as a kind of "open-source", but it's not. If they were more up-front about that, I probably wouldn't care as much.
Also saying that it's less restrictive than copyleft is just outright false.
free-riding
If you're gonna have that kind of attitude, then you don't really care about user freedom.
Yes but the advantage of Linux over windows is obvious. It's open source. Where's the advantage of FreeBSD? Companies can make their own proprietary fork and give nothing back?
Fedora (with Plasma) and I don't plan on moving to another distro until something tangible happens. Switching my distro based on hypothetical situations would keep me from ever staying on any distro for very long.
That being said if I had to use another distro, I feel like I'd try out Debian stable, while using Flatpaks and Distrobox to get up-to-date software. That feels like it would be a good approximation of the excellent middleground that Fedora has.
I think this is about the formation of the Open Enterprise Linux Association, which Oracle is a founding member of.
Very cool! I'm a big fan of the Neodays tileset because I find that the distinct colors for different entities helps to make things very easy to identify at a glance. This seems to keep that feature, while upping the resolution to make the shape of things more identifiable too. I'm interested to try it out!
The fact that this isn't the first time I've seen someone make that false equivalence demonstrates pretty well the problem that comes when a small number of instances have the majority of Lemmy's total users. I chose a small instance myself, partially to do my part in avoiding this issue, but the consolidation will likely continue to be a big problem until a good solution can be thought up and implemented.

Wow! On Fish, it brings up a whole search bar with a colored grid of results and tab to select and fuzzy finding. This is cool!
- uBlock Origin (of course)
- Tab Stash: It lets you organize your tabs into groups and keep the groups around in a sidebar that unloads them when you don't need them at the moment. Very helpful for someone like me who always has a bunch of tabs open.
- uBlacklist: It lets you blacklist domains from showing up in search results. It supports different search engines. Every helpful to get rid of SEO spam sites and mirror sites.
- Duplicate Tabs Closer: It detects when you have multiple tabs open for the same webpage.
With no context, completely in isolation, yeah Overwatch 2 isn't the worst. But for a lot of players, it's not just about what Overwatch 2 is, but also about what it did and what it means. That factors into players' feelings about the game.
There’s no need to shoehorn in your dislike of Chinese people into this video gaming story.
Strawman flame-bait everyone. Please ignore.
As someone who currently uses a note-taking app with tags, I'd highly recommended adding that as a feature if it's not out of scope. I couldn't imagine going back to taking notes without tags. It makes organization so much simpler.
fwiw I remember reading around a year ago, a post by the KDE contributor Pointiest Stick that he actually thinks that Fedora has a better Plasma experience than Opensuse. I can't find the post where he said that though so take it with a grain of salt. But as someone who does use Fedora with Plasma, it feels like it mostly works fine. The only big issue I can think of atm is that the Plasma Discover auto-updater just doesn't work at all. It doesn't auto update. That could just be an issue specific to me though.
This actually sounds like a really good idea! This could be big! I wanna try this for myself to get a feel for it.
I understand and that was one of the things I was thinking of when I said "Valve’s done bad things in the past of course". But when you compare them to many other AAA publishers, I don't see how Valve is particularly bad. Especially when you start bringing up lootboxes. Unlike many other publishes that go these same bad practices, and at a larger scale at that, value has done some good too, and is generally much more permissive about things like fanworks, and that does a lot to build good will. I don't see what's "short memory" about this.
And I'm not even saying that I love valve or anything either, but the devil? Compared to other publishers?
Are you getting them confused with another company? Valve's done bad things in the past of course, but they're still a lot better than most other gaming companies that I know of. I typically put Valve alongside companies like Capcom and Sega as "one of the not bad ones" in terms of malicious practices.
How does this compare to waifu2x for anime-style images? Does it manage to beat it, or is this more for photos?
