you're right in almost everything

Seems clear cut and Meta will likely have to change the name.

Meta has a massive amount of resources, I'm sure they can afford more lawyers than the British company. Courts tend to favor the one with most resources, so the smaller company will have a very hard time trying to make Meta to change their app's name.

Oh I answered the wiremin asshole a bunch of times and they deleted their posts when I told how wiremin was suspicious as hell and shouldn't be trusted.

can we stop advertising this app already? it's not open source. people needs to stop licking Rossmann's ass.

right to repair is great, we can all agree in that. but when it comes to software, the guy can't stand the idea of people using his source as they please and he wrote a source available license and keeps calling it open source. as other comments have pointed out, it is not.

the web server? absolutely!

the arbitrary code they send to my browser? I must be able to choose what to execute in my device.

I'm sure they won't be any cheaper. Nvidia can be as greedy as they want given the low competition they have.

If indie devs, for example, aren't getting the same deal, it sounds anticompetitive to me.

(I'm no Epic fan, just a random thought)

I'm against driverless cars, but I don't think this type of errors can be detected in a lab environment. It's just impossible to test with every single car model or real world situations that it will find in actual usage.

An optimal solution would be to have a backup driver with every car that keeps an eye on the road in case of software failure. But, of course, this isn't profitable, so they'd rather put lives at risk.

they detect adblock by executing proprietary JavaScript code in my browser, using my CPU cycles. I paid for that CPU and I can choose what code gets executed and what not.

That JavaScript code is also privacy invasive and I'm not letting a mega corporation recollect information about myself. So yeah, I'll block whatever I want from my browser. And if that makes Google loose money, they are more than welcomed to look for a business model other than advertising.

short answer: no

I honestly don't care what the guy had to say. Removing parts from his speech without telling him is plain awful.

I'm actually pro LGTB and hate Wayland. Don't make us all look as conservative scumbags. Some of use just hate Red Hat (IBM) because of their big corp nature.

I'll buy a framework when they finally add the Coreboot support they promised.

those days the web was way simpler than it is now. complexity has doomed every web engine not maintained by a mega corp (and some that were, Microsoft killed their own).

if such a thing is happening, the article utterly fails to address the technologies they are using to censor this. it just mentions some disabled hashtags.

it does not belong to a tech community.

I prefer to use Tor, but whatever makes you happy.

Client side code isn't the only way to track someone, but it's one of the options. And fingerprinting browsers using JavaScript is an extended practice.

Anyway, you're missing my point. My browser, my rules. I'll just block any script that annoys me.

what if I meet Joe and take a selfie of both of us using my phone? how will people know that my selfie is an authentic Joe Biden?

Jan is just a frontend. It supports various models under multiple licence. It also supports some proprietary models.

Louis Rossmann can go to fuck himself and his source available app that he keeps calling open source.

Newpipe existed long before Grayjay and will probably be there when grayjay dies since Newpipe's license allows community forks. If the Newpipe team ceases development, others will take their place. If Rossmann ceases development, his app is left for dead

I'm in mastodon but I wouldn't mind trying Bluesky when there are third party servers.

Ethernet is an standard. as long as standards are open (and they should be, by definition) they can't die as long as there is an use for them.
