Chaotic Stupid 😄

Using the video tool for a single still image is a bit chaotic, but it’s still a tool made for the job so it’s good. Chaotic Good. Makes sense to me.

Looks okay to me. Not sure how important the last two are to be honest, but I included them for completeness

The marketing statements on the website say the right things too, but they are secondary to the above, obviously:

Openness

OpenCloud is and remains open source software. This means that you can download and use the source code free of charge and without obligation. We welcome and encourage any kind of participation in the work on OpenCloud in the spirit of open source collaboration.

OpenCloud GmbH also offers paid builds of OpenCloud for use in environments where support, professional services and other services are required.

Who are we?

OpenCloud GmbH is a young company founded under the umbrella of the Heinlein Group and employs a team of developers who are familiar with the project code.

The combination of the Heinlein Group’s many years of experience in the open source business and the unwavering enthusiasm of the developers, most of whom have many years of open source experience, provides the perfect foundation for an active project. And we warmly invite everyone to join us!

The foundation

The basis of the project is a fork of a widely used open source project whose components are co-developed by developers from the science organization CERN and other active participants. OpenCloud is now being continuously developed independently by the OpenCloud community and published under the Apache 2.0 and AGPL-3.0 licenses.

In the spirit of reusability of code under free licenses, we are grateful for the strong foundation on which we are building.

Maybe they should have used some of that very profane UV light on their holy water, to make it safe, not just holy.

One theory is that Tor was opened to the public by the United States Naval Research Laboratory only to create a crowd of users for their agents to hide in. You need a large enough anonymity set for these sorts of technologies to work.

The page behind your link above actually solves the riddle in question:

I have a Mastodon account, @rms on mastodon.xyz, which mirrors the political notes of stallman.org. The person who set up the mirroring chose that site.

The profile picture and colour scheme fits. I’m guessing just the text is edited.

Ah yes, the good old /time set 1000

My dad who retires today and who has been a Windows user since roughly 1993 has set up multiple Pi-Holes and OpenVPN in the last few years and recently even installed Ubuntu in WSL so he can run bash scripts locally too. He’s not in a tech job, he’s a doctor.

A year ago my friend who has been using Windows for his gaming for the last 22 years asked my to help him set up a Fedora dual boot. Just to play around with, even though he doesn’t have a tech background. He didn’t really use it much. But today his work had him blocked by their own fuck-up and he decided to use the time to try it out again.

This evening he told me about how he upgraded his Fedora back to a current version using GUI tools. Then he saw that Windows wasn’t the default boot in his grub boot order anymore. He tried to find an app for editing grub, realised this was the kind of thing people do with CLI. So in the next two hours he learned enough CLI using a free beginners lesson he found online somewhere, until he found the history command, where he found the grub command we used during the original setup. He was so excited about this success!

I think the CLI criticisms are way overblown, and non-programmers can use CLIs perfectly well if they want to.

The original developer of Git is Linus Torvalds and he wrote it for the use of developing Linux. He handed off the project to Junio Hamano after a short while who still leads it. They use a process where you submit patches by mail, for Linux and for Git itself too.

To make this easier they have the commands git format-patch, git send-email and git applymbox later changed to git am to apply them. They also added git request-pull to generate a short plaintext email like message to request a pull.

The Pull Request as a bigger concept of data and discussion that should be kept around came from GitHub and was put over top of Git. The concept has been rebuilt by various competitors separately. But it doesn’t match the Linux and Git development model so they never used GitHub Pull Request, even though there is a GitHub mirror of Linux and a GitHub mirror of Git. For them the discussions happens in the mailing list.

So it’s very unlikely they would start including the stuff that was added by others over top, that they don’t need.

I don’t see how this changes anything. Style isn’t copyrightable, so if anything it seems the least concern.

Characters or specific scenes, those are the really juicy bits

Edit: And of course still the general question of ingesting copyrighted inputs without license for other than private use

Wow, the way they write “best value” on the offer for 8.50 £/month is just brazen.

If you use Office Home 2024 for 120£ for just 15 months or more it’s already cheaper.

I used TexStudio for my Master’s thesis, it worked fine for me. I haven’t done a full survey of available LaTex distributions and tools though :-)

Definitely the command. CLI commands are simple and portable. Asking the user what DE they are using for an extra round trip and then making a description of the pointy-clicky-ceremony has way to much friction.

lol, one of our suppliers just changed to them 1.5 years ago.

Someone managed to fuck the portal software up so much that all the ö you type in a support case get replaced by o, both in the webview and the emails. The ä and ü work fine. It’s extra fucked.

And our support team sits in Germany, we write in German sometimes. When we use English it is only for the benefit of their Tier 3 guys.

Plus the implementation of two factor sign in is now delayed by half a year already. It seems to me more developers could be helpful
