Not sure why your intuition would go there, I can imagine situations where the caller would feel/be threatened if they didn’t remain anonymous. After hearing about people suing for helping them in emergency situations and police abusing people’s rights to get evidence then if I felt I had to report something I’d want to remain anonymous.

How often does it end up saving peoples lives though?

Probably the gun industry lobbying for this 🫢

If it’s MY car why would adverts be in it? What’s next, adverts in my shed?

“DRM” as in digital restrictions management I assume.

Modularity and accessiblity costs more in research, design and testing but there are many factors to the purchase price. The question is if a lower price is actually cheaper if you would be replacing it over and over again.

Personally I don’t think the industry will change until consumers value more than just the price.

The warranty is 2 years. Warranty is the confidence a company has that it will last as long as that. Batteries eventually die, so that is the one part in mobile devices we can guarantee needs to be replaced.

Manufacturers make bigger devices difficult to repair - so it being a small form factor is just an excuse. When they try and it fails then is the time to consider if it’s feasible. Fairphone products are probably average at best but you can at least replace the batteries in a small device like their earbuds (Fairbuds), and assume they will get better at making their repairable devices.

Who’s expecting a computer to last about 2 years?

Perhaps not a takeover so much as a betrayal, a backstabbing? Certainly hostile to the community.

In 2022, maintainers (…) founded the company Gitea Limited with the goal of offering hosting services using (proprietary) versions of Gitea. (…). The shift away from a community ownership model received some resistance from some contributors, which led to the formation of a software fork called Forgejo. From Wikipedia.

Furthermore you can mix GPL and AGPL licensed code, each part retaining their license. So you can include someone’s GPL code in a new AGPL project (or vice versa). It’s stated in the GPLv3 license under “Use with the GNU Affero General Public License”.

I’d like to know about that too.

I imagine you’re aware but GPL doesn’t directly prevent corps from using your code (just often done because their code is often propriety). They can use it legally as part of their own GPL licensed code or when they are offering software as a service (they don’t distribute the binary, it’s running on their server). In that case where your code could be running on a server then the AGPL would be preferable if giving software freedom to their users is part of your goals.

This is for “brand ambassadors” says LTT (WAN show).

If the Computer Science Degree is open source that means I can redistribute it.

Tracked Steam games working on Linux Mint since I started > 4 years ago (from my final, successful attempt to stop using Windows).

[Edit: only loaded Sea of Thieves and then never played it because it required a M$ account - wish I asked for a refund]

Not passing judgement at this volunteering specifically but willingly doing something doesn’t necessarily mean there’s no problems. It could still be exploitative.

If you want to avoid this judgement (being a Linux user)

We’re here, we’re queer, Linux is top gear!

I’m surprised the wheels hardware wouldn’t just work.

Hmm, I don’t play racing games. Are they not just a combination of efficient frame generation and pretty graphics? What makes racing games different from other games when it comes to software running on Windows vs Linux?

What games?
