Quite well written post. That Collabora (the unnamed entity) has chosen to extort the foundation and use its power to make the foundation fail its legal promises (and therefore force it to be disolved legally), only speaks badly of Collabora.
Im not from the USA and quite lefty haha. But it is telling that by stating a truth, the post was removed by a lemmy.ml mod.
Removed by mod
Agree. But it’s “citizens” not civilians. “Civilians” are those that aren’t military. Civilians are virtually everybody, police included. The USA started this double-speak ~15 years ago, where they pretend that police are military, and police aren’t civilians. Please stop rewiring your brain by using their language.
If you dont want corpos to exploit it, you go with GPL. Then they are forced to share back.
That license looks like Creative Commons Non-Comercial, which is not an open source license.
The BY-NC-SA 4.0 is not an open source license. This printer is not open source. Stop calling it. Even if they themselves call it that way, or “open”.
NC - non commercial. Nobody is alowed to sell you the printer nor replacements. Yea you can print it yourself, for that 1% that has a printer.
CC BY-NC-SA
Not open printer. Not open source. You will only be able to get replacements from them, worse than some other printer companies…
Indeed. Looking forward to the new Valve headset, which is just a normal Arm pc with a linux distro, including a desktop mode. Given that they push for upstreaming, i have quite the hopes to just be able to install any linux arm distro in the future.
Software that respects your freedom is the way
don’t have video outputs and have an altered software stack to what’s used for gaming, missing all kinds of features and game specific patches.
True about those without video outputs. But in Linux, game specific patches are in Mesa and not in the graphics drivers for example.
Signal, the messenger that lags code sumps for a year so they can get a leg up with insider knowledge of their own cryptocurrency?
Valve isn’t perfect. They’re still a corporation. But if every company was as evil as Valve, we would achieve near world peace. They’ve contributed amazing things to open source through heavy investment.
It’s a privately own company, and it shows. Linux and open source just wins, because it allows to set these symbiosis with partners instead of treating everything as competition, my way-or-the-highway-style.
OK, now think how nontechnical people will not be able to do it. They will be tied to Google/X-corp for all credentials, even government ones. Waiting to be banned if their social credit is too low.

Fellow sensorwatch represent! It’s great!
We all believed? What?
It’s not business oriented, it provides a unique ID attached to the machine, cryptographically proven.
Next step is to use that unique ID to identify you on the internet and digital life. Ending all privacy.
You think this is far fetched? Kernel-level anti-cheat for games already does this and bans the machine from playing that game ever again.
Regulate the social networks instead
