I presume that their employers just had terms that essentially gave the whole IP to the employer. And GPL is conflicting that, especially if they were producing the code using employers equipment, which essentially makes all the code to belong to employer. At the same time, GPL maintains the IP on the author of the code.

Not a lawyer, though I heard that some far-eastern companies have copied the US policymaking, which allows full separation of IP from the author.

There are folks form KDE who are trying to implement the Plasma Bigscreen solution: https://plasma-bigscreen.org/. Seems promising to me :)

Though, I’d still recommend to use an external device to avoid breaking the TV OS up ;)

I’d say this list is not about moving towards FLOSS, but more about breaking up with Google services. Some replacements are betters, some worse, but definitely in each column there is at least one non-floss application 🤔

What I can see clearly is that nation overall supports the warfare, and the annexation of neighbouring country — either silently, or loudly. This sentiment was there for even pre-full-scale invastion time period, even in anti-putinists circles (the “Crimea is not a sandwich” statement supporting that1).

There is an extreme minority that is against war, though they are against war in principle, and make no action to support the warfare to any side.

Russian text in the video makes me very suspicious…

But on macOS it just uses Apple’s own WebKit fork, so it is very expected: WebKit is very optimised towards Apple hardware on macOS and iOS.

Each time I see anything like that, I just disengage with the content

I was going a long way, until I built a perfect AwesomeWM configuration for myself, and have not changed it for a while now. I am willing to switch to Wayland-based solution now, as it seems to be a bit more performant, but I just can’t make myself to do it: my config is really cozy and working

Neither am I. It’s just sad…

RCS is a really nice thing in principle, because SMS/MMS infrastructure is just awfully outdated from security standpoint.

Though, replacing SMS/MMS infrastructure which is internetless yet cross-carrier by making it a internet-first and tied to a single meta-carrier under the hood kind of defeats the purpose overall. There was an attempt to build an independent carrier-deployable implementation of RCS, yet it turned out to be bought off by Google :(

They have been for a while now. It’s just that now it kind of becomes obvious

My understanding of Keybase is that it was some kind identity aggregator. You were able to link identities not just by keys, but also by external services, like Twitter (at a time), email and other things.
