I’m a copyleft fan in theory, but…

In practice my experience is that anything GPL actually doesn’t benefit the fellow worker/programmer as much. Since the worker probably works for an evil soulless company, he would have to use a different permissive software or buy something proprietary. I.e. if you choose copyleft you provide to a commons that is only accessible to a minority of workers. I also believe that most companies (even big tech) will try to contribute important or significant changes to permissive upstream projects instead of running their own private forks (the latter is much more annoying and expensive).

He might be a fraud. Don’t know. It’s a good initiative anyway. I’ve been waiting for FOSS DIY cars to become popular for 15+ years. Don’t know why it never really takes off. Well, probably because of the big players lobbying/preventing, regulations and the lack of capital.

Hopefully that can change if supporters/contributors provide feedback.

Well, not made by. He’s a capitalist after all. 🙂

Well, usually not. Unfortunately.

Mullvad.

What do you guys think about AnySoftKeyboard? Could it be a “sleeping agent”?

Country of origin is Israel according to: https://alternativeto.net/software/anysoftkeyboard/about/

(I know this doesn’t mean anything, but still…)

The main developer seems to live in New York: https://evendanan.net/

He’s probably a good guy. Just got a little suspicious (or curious) when I saw the Israeli flag on AlternativeTo.

Not same results as DeepL but… You can use any popular online LLM for excellent translation. There are also “small” language models that you can run on your phone (if you havet a reasonable modern/powerful phone that is): https://github.com/mlc-ai/mlc-llm

I’ve heard it said that every successful Swedish war campaign begins with the loss of their entire fleet.

Everyone knows the Comanches were nothing but peace loving kindness and happy joy.

Any shitty old laptop can self host any git service as long you only have a single or handful of users.

I’m in tech. LinkedIn has only done damage when it comes to finding a job. It brings a lot of noise into the process. Will never use it again.

Actually, what we probably want is something like openSUSE MicroOS with containers based on Nix or Guix.

Best would be if openSUSE simply adopted Nix/Guix for container configuration.

Don’t forget about Nix and Guix.

I think it makes great sense to use Nix (or better Guix). The users are not expected to do any configurations. They basically need a browser and maybe a text editor if it’s the public sector.

Also, you can run Nix or Guix on basically any other dist. Which is very helpful for reproducible deployments.

Ubuntu doesn’t make any sense. Better use Debian in that case. We don’t need to give yet another eccentric South African billionaire more power.

SUSE is owned by the Swedish venture capital firm EQT. For better or worse. All software has “ties” to the US. Remember there are lots of good people in the US as well. Everything isn’t MAGA or tech feudalism.

I agree. Most Linux distributions have their base within the EU. Just dumb to bring a new Fedora based dist to the table. Debian is also very connected to the EU and France, even though the SPI is registered within the US.

One could push for The Linux Foundation to to move their HQ to the EU. If that changes anything. I guess it depends on if Linus resigns or wants to move back to Finland.

If you don’t use pass, you should probably hate yourself.

Don’t know about the EU, but this is the only one you’ll ever need.
