     @phnt@fluffytail.org @fossdd@chaos.social I'm talking about the donation reminder. I think Anubis is a lot more major, as it requires the user to enable javascript and also does not work with addons like JShelter.

     @phnt@fluffytail.org @fossdd@chaos.social While a very minor annoyance that feature is technically malware, as it does something that the user probably doesn't want.

     @newt@stereophonic.space @vokainen099@cawfee.club @fossdd@chaos.social @phnt@fluffytail.org I'm not opposed to free software development being paid for by large corporations. Actually on the contrary, I think that's a good thing. People deserve to be paid to develop free software.
     
     What rubs the wrong way is the larping pretending to be a poor foundation that desperately needs the donations of regular people to stay alive.
     
     This is completely wrong. The GNOME Foundation has plenty of cash and is being actively funded by Google, Redhat, Canonical and many other well established for-profit entities who got plenty of cash.
     
     It honestly reminds me of the disgusting Jimmy Wales banners on Wikipedia.

     Yes, you're free to patch it out if you don't want it. That is a key advantage of free software in the first place.
     
     But I don't like having to patch things, so I will still criticize it.

     No, it has not. Their budget for 2024 was ~$550k (https://blogs.gnome.org/foundation/2024/10/10/budget-and-economic-review/). This isn't enough to fund GNOME development, but that's not the purpose of GNOME Foundation any way. Just like it isn't the purpose of Linux Foundation to fund Linux (hence it doesn't).
     
     GNOME Foundation mostly spends money on maintaining their gitlab, organising events, and similar stuff. If you read the link above, only $200k directed into development (grant money).
     
     >It honestly reminds me of the disgusting Jimmy Wales banners on Wikipedia.
     
     I dunno. KDE people made this one time pop-up (once you click on it, it will never show up again) in KDE and people actually went and donated them cash. Seems fine to me. Also, you're free to patch it out if you wanna.

     @hazlin@annihilation.social @newt@stereophonic.space @vokainen099@cawfee.club @fossdd@chaos.social @phnt@fluffytail.org Speaking of Godot, that software actually used to be proprietary.
     
     I think it is one of the great proprietary to free software success stories.
     
     Making the software free as in freedom is really what saved them, because as soon as they made it free other organizations become interested and started giving them grants and donations.

     A thought provoking question. TBH, open source is just a bad business model.
     
     In a strange way, it breaks the relationship between the user and the developer.
     
     Most of the time, when I've gone to donate to a project I use a lot, I find that the dev has depreciated the project, decided to take the project in a direction I do not want, or has decided that they will be using their project for politics. In all of those cases, I am usually forced to go look for a different tool lol!
     
     In any case, a project I'll recommend donating to is, blender, it has been great year after year. On the other hand, they care about the users, and have business adoption, so they will continue whether or not individuals give to them or not.
     
     Same for godot, though they are more political now, and it may be better to support one of their forks.

     It is a bad business model for small teams. It's a great business model for large corpos like Red Hat or Google. Android being open source allowed Google to quickly kill all competition and almost entirely own the smartphone market in order to later close Android down.
     
     Ironically, :rms: and his freetard foot snack connoiseurs ended up helping to create the greatest proprietary monopolies in the history of mankind. Google runs Linux, after all.

     However these proprietary software companies stopped donating money to the FSF at around 2016 or so, when they realized they couldn't bend the FSF to their will.

     @SuperDicq @newt @fossdd @phnt @vokainen099 @hazlin Personally as I get older, I don't want to fight with my computer to make a game work. Every single time I join a voice call, the same shit unfolds with people using a certain OS.
     
     "Uh, I need to get this working, uh I need to get Lutris working, uh, I need to get my wineprefix working, uh why isn't this working"
     
     By the time that drama is said and done, the group call has already moved to playing another video game.
     
     Thankfully, there is a way for Linux users to play games, pic related.

     >Free software is free as in freedom.
     Alright since this devolved into this on it's own, here's the correct line of thinking. Free software is not freedom respecting because it doesn't respect my freedom to do whatever I want with it. It's in fact restrictive software published under a restrictive license. It's not free.

     @newt@stereophonic.space @fossdd@chaos.social @phnt@fluffytail.org @PurpCat@clubcyberia.co @vokainen099@cawfee.club @hazlin@annihilation.social There are no "open source counterparts", we call them "free software replacements".
     
     Saying words like "counterpart" implies that proprietary software is legitimate and has any rights to exist in the first place. All proprietary software must be replaced.

Even though this page follows the wrong naming convention by itself.

     @SuperDicq @newt @Inginsub @fossdd @dcc @PurpCat @vokainen099 @hazlin If you want the full lawyer speak version of how RH distributes source code, here it is.
     
     If you want source code, you either have to sign up for the developer program, which is free, but has the same license agreement (one of them) as enterprise customers with the audit I mention above.
     
     Or alternatively you can dig through CentOS Stream's Gitlab repo, which also has all the source code, but it's not tagged in an easy way. You can't go to the rhel branch and grab that. You have to match package versions and commits and that's how you get exact copies.
     
     Or another way is to also download UBI docker images and script:
     dnf download <package>

     @SuperDicq @Inginsub @fossdd @phnt @PurpCat @vokainen099 @hazlin there is no such thing as "wrong" here when everyone fully understands what is actually being referred to. Linux is a family of operating systems. GNU-based systems are a subset of it, albeit a small one. Only a small vocal minority of furry-loving GNU zealots keeps insisting that GNU has to be inserted into every mention of Linux.
     
     By the way, I do have experience of Linux kernel development and I find it funny that almost none refers to this project as Linux. It's almost always the kernel, sometimes the Linux kernel (when other kernels are mentioned). Linux referring to the OS rather than the kernel is pretty much ubiquitously accepted.

     @newt @dcc @hazlin @vokainen099 @fossdd @Inginsub @PurpCat @SuperDicq I'm not making a big deal out of it. I don't really care about the period of no updates for LTS versions as long as the deal isn't breached. It's probably the best deal that could ever come out of that collaboration considering that Qt was proprietary.
     
     Current versions of Qt are OSS immediately I think and updates to LTS versions are postponed by I think 6 months. Still better than dealing with the garbage that is Gtk while still having cross-platform support.

     @SuperDicq @newt @Inginsub @fossdd @dcc @PurpCat @vokainen099 @hazlin It is compliant. At the maximum possible limit. And they can shut down the UBI stuff and they will still be compliant. It's like the KDE and Qt GPL2 agreement where they have the 6 (?) months period for updates to LTS.

     @phnt @dcc @hazlin @vokainen099 @fossdd @Inginsub @PurpCat @SuperDicq KDE people pretty much maintained their own fork of Qt5, until KDE6 was released. Probably the same will happen to Qt6 if needed.
     
     I don't know why everyone makes such a big deal out of this. Qt is still open source and new versions are gonna stay open. Only backports to older versions are closed and reserved to paying customers, and usually it's just a matter of git cherry-pick.

     @SuperDicq @newt @Inginsub @fossdd @dcc @PurpCat @vokainen099 @hazlin Custom support for other platforms mostly besides *nix/Windows/macOS. Also the reason why Qt can still be used without garbage like dbus, since it doesn't depend on it by design.
     
     Qt isn't desktop-only. It's used in car infotainment and other weird sectors you would never expect. Just like the foundation libraries behind Enlightenment (EFL) are used by Samsung to build UIs for their TVs, fridges and what have you.

     Also QT would've never used the GPL if it wasn't for pressure from the FSF.

     Cool. You can write it to Qt dudes, maybe they'll change their entire business model.
     
     Any how, they sell the literally same code (sans legacy backports/updates). Clients pay not to be subjected to GPL restrictions.
     
     >Isn't QT released under the LGPL so proprietary software can use it?
     
     No. Some older modules are, the newer are GPL3/Commercial.

     @SuperDicq @newt @Inginsub @fossdd @dcc @PurpCat @vokainen099 @hazlin There was no pressure from the FSF. In fact they made GTK (technically for GIMP but whatever) and GNOME instead. And failed at the design stage of GTK completely, only because they refused to use C++, because GCC didn't support it at the time.

The popularity of the Kool Desktop Environment on GNU/Linux as it was called back then did also contribute a lot to QT becoming free software.

     @phnt @dcc @hazlin @vokainen099 @fossdd @Inginsub @SuperDicq @newt the KDE devs were the ones who had more pressure and if anything they legally made a pact with the Qt devs.
     https://kde.org/community/whatiskde/kdefreeqtfoundation/
     
     In 2016 it got extended to the Windows/Mac/iOS ports along with Windows Phone.

     @foxcat @mischievoustomato @fossdd Fedora runs on tablets as well I believe.
     In 2021 some RL friend showed me how he fakking defaced the train hour shedule, by reversing that module. With just his mobile, He proly got that code to extend trough his cellular to make contact or free wifi in any case he made a show.

     Those huge 4 screens or 1 yes .
     That is C extended as emitter of some mobile or metasploit as there were all distro's on F-Droid.

     this is how i feel currently. so far, I'm in tinkering-ish mode given I run gentoo, but so far stuff has worked well. On day 2 (when I already had gnome running), I installed steam and a game and gamed just fine, but I don't play much. That said, if I were to get annoyed at Gentoo, I might just call it quits, get a macbook when I can, and play what little I do on it or just have a 2nd machine to game on.

     Qt was not also licensed under the LGPLv2.1 so that proprietary software companies could not play their typical tricks - Qt makes such sort either comply or pay for an exception.

     The purpose of the Linux Foundation is to get away with infringing Linux's copyright.
     
     >GNOME Foundation mostly spends money on maintaining their gitlab, organising events, and similar stuff. If you read the link above, only $200k directed into development (grant money).
     If mere git hosting it burning huge amounts of money, you're doing something wrong.
     
     There is no reason for any funding to be directed to events when it should be directed to programming.
     
     
     No decent DE ever begs for money in a notification - that can go in the credits menu.

     All free licenses give freedom 0 - thus you do have the freedom to use the software however you want with free software.
     
     Merely because a license doesn't grant you the power to take freedom doesn't mean you are a being restricted - rather restrictions are being prevented.
     
     If you feel like you are being restricted by a strong copyleft license like the AGPLv3-or-later, you should bring up the issue with the relevant party - your government.

     @newt @hazlin @vokainen099 @fossdd @phnt @SuperDicq Android was never even source-available - it's chock full of proprietary software without source code.
     
     Android uses no GNU package - the only similarity to GNU/Linux is that Android uses the same kernel - Linux.
     
     Merely because google used GNU/Linux to develop and build Android doesn't mean that GNU had anything to do with the monopoly google has created - google could have achieved the same thing with a lot more work.

     When a character encoding library can't be bothered to check if the character encoding you are telling is the input is actually correct, you know you've made something horrible.
     Checking the character encoding is a waste of time - as heuristics only works for ASCII and UTF-8 - other multibyte character sets are mostly indistinguishable - therefore it's up to the user to guess what retarded character encoding the source is in and check the output to see if that was correct.

     glibc's ABI has been forward compatible for years.
     
     There was a minor change in binutils to adjust the default elf data headers (which can be modified) that had been announced as planned for a long time and the only thing that ended up breaking was digital handcuffs for proprietary malware that hardcoded the headers - therefore such malware ceasing to run was only a feature.

     @SuperDicq @newt @fossdd @vokainen099 @Pi_rat That's also around the time GNU software started being complete garbage. Coincidence?
     
     When a character encoding library can't be bothered to check if the character encoding you are telling is the input is actually correct, you know you've made something horrible. But not in the GNU world. It fails in its one job. glibc breaking ABI on basically every minor release has become a meme at this point.

     @newt @hazlin @vokainen099 @fossdd @Inginsub @PurpCat @phnt @SuperDicq but for some reason I get banned if I change the windows Wikipedia article to claim that NT is a family of proprietary operating systems based on the NT kernel.

     @Ree @vokainen099 @fossdd @phnt @SuperDicq @newt Yes, you have the freedom to print off an unmodified copy of the GPLv3 and pee on it (despite how bizarre such behaviour) as it contains no restrictions on use.

     @newt @hazlin @vokainen099 @fossdd @Inginsub @PurpCat @phnt @SuperDicq >there is no such thing as "wrong" here when everyone fully understands what is actually being referred to.
     The very issue is that PEOPLE DO NOT - THEY ACTUALLY THINK LINUX IS AN OS.
     
     >Linux is a family of operating systems. GNU-based systems are a subset of it, albeit a small one.
     Linux is a kernel - there are a handful of operating systems that happen to share the same kernel; Android, GNU/Linux, GNU/GNU Linux-libre and BusyBox/Linux (there are a few other small systems that happen use that kernel, but those are too minor to bother mentioning).
     
     For real computers, primarily GNU/Linux is used, for phones primarily Android is used and for routers, primarily BusyBox/Linux is used.
     
     >It's almost always the kernel, sometimes the Linux kernel (when other kernels are mentioned). Linux referring to the OS rather than the kernel is pretty much ubiquitously accepted.
     YES, PEOPLE ARE SO CONFUSED THAT THEY DON'T EVEN REALIZE THAT LINUX IS ONLY A KERNEL AND THEREFORE THEY ASSUME THAT THE OS IS LINUX AND THAT THE KERNEL IS A SEPARATE PART OF LINUX.
     
     For most OS's, the kernel is developed as a sub-project and doesn't have a particular name, thus the naming is typically; "the OpenBSD kernel" for example.
     
     In GNU's case, another group decided to develop a kernel for GNU and give it a name and of course the most buzzwordy possible name was found and a cult of personality was formed around Linus - Linus+x or the Linux cult was formed - with the goal of assigning credit for "everything Linus has done for us", even though GNU had developed the OS since 1984 and all Linus did was start developing the last needed piece - making GNU/Linux or LiGNUx or just GNU.
     
     The result is as follows;
     Reality Proprietary confusion
     Linux --> "Linux kernel"
     GNU --> "Linux"
     GNU/Linux --> "Linux".
     GNU/Linux on mobiles --> "Linux phones"
     Android --> "That isn't Linux"
     Installing GNU on Android --> "Linux on Android"
     Installing GNU on Windows without Linux (GNU/kWindows) --> "Windows Subsystem Linux"

     I agree that DNA is proprietary software - I would indeed like to replace my DNA with free software replacements that construct the perfect GNU/Form.
