This post started out as a question, but throughout two days of googling it became this compilation of links. I will tell you everything worth mention that I found, share my plan with you, and expect some critics (for the infos of course, please not for the silly hyperactivity of my ADHD brain over such a trivial matter 🥲)....
If I want to punch you in the face I think twice because I can’t kill you from distance with a single blow, but having access to a gun is lowering the hurdle
As an European, we have culture, we know about (cross)bows and spears and whatnot. The world is not black and white, its not about some people that always would and some people that always would not. Different environments will bring different behavior in different people. An environment where everyone has access to a firearm will lower the hurdle for extremely violent crimes that can easily result in death.
Please, have a “thought experiment” yourself and think this whole thing through, at least once. Its kindoff unfair debating with someone that went through an american school system, I know you don’t have the mental capacity for this conversation, but for the sake of inclusion, we are still having it.
You are probably right, it does seem kinda pointless. A full blown capitalist embraces capitalism to its fullest and believes in its values. FOSS kinda contradicts that and hurts capitalism. You should support the economy and pay other companies to develop, manage, license, (…) your software.
Reduced Revenue for Proprietary Software: FOSS provides free alternatives to proprietary software, potentially reducing the revenue streams for companies selling proprietary software.
Commoditization of Software: FOSS can turn software, which might otherwise be a product to be sold, into a commodity. As a result, traditional software companies have to find new ways to monetize, often through services or specialized solutions.
Reduction in Competitive Advantage: Companies that once had a unique software product might find it hard to compete when there’s an equivalent open-source alternative available.
Change in Business Models: The rise of FOSS has forced many companies to adapt their business models. Instead of selling software licenses, they may need to offer services, support, or other value-added products.
Innovation and Collaboration over Profit: The FOSS philosophy emphasizes community-driven development, which can prioritize innovation and collaboration over profit-making.
What kind of argument is seeing you pushing regulations against it? The question was if you are a full blown capitalist and if you support FOSS, you are most certainly not. You have to stop coming off as an american.
It’s impossible for me to definitively confirm whether a specific text was generated by ChatGPT or another version of GPT-3 (or a different AI model altogether) just by reading it. The content provided is factual and consistent with how FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) is often described, but it could have been written by anyone knowledgeable about the topic. It’s important to remember that GPT-3 produces outputs based on the information it has been trained on, but similar sentences or ideas can also be formulated by humans or other AI models.
I use wire (wire. com) for daily chatting. I like it but I couldn’t find any good communities in wire. In session, or simpleX, there are privacy (and other) groups in which anyone can participate… Can we start a privacy group in wire so we folks can also hang around?
I know there are some tools including firejail and bindtointerface on standard Linux Distros, but they don’t run in userland, so whenever the deck updates they will be overwritten....
You can’t install applications on steam deck and there is a read only file system??? Whaaaatttt???
Edit: I asked a friend that has a steam deck, he explained you can easily disable the read-only system, do whatever you want on a Linux system and reenable it afterwards.
During the trial it was revealed that McDonald’s knew that heating their coffee to this temperature would be dangerous, but they did it anyways because it would save them money. When you serve coffee that is too hot to drink, it will take much longer for a person to drink their coffee, which means that McDonald’s will not...
