The ideas we explore in concrete work should be informed by what open source licensing proponents seek to restrict (the individual freedom to refuse), the tools they employ (software licensing), the language they attempt to monopolize (“Free as in Freedom”), and what the established systems and cultural norms do in practice

The article doesnt use the wording “Free Software Movement” it uses “open source licensing proponents” which includes the Free Software Movement.

As for the genocide per default part: Its nonsense to believe that if open source didnt exist or was different that it would somehow lead to less genocide.

“We know that there is a clear relationship between corporations which expend focused energy explicitly and implicitly promoting the use of Open Source Initiative-approved licenses to independent developers, and the genocide being committed in Palestine.”

“The Freedom to refuse”

This article is bonkers. It manages to twist the Free Software Movement, that I would argue is intrinsically radically anti-capitalist, to be somehow pro capitalist, because free labour. Completely ignoring the whole mutual benefit and means of production held in common part of the deal. It tries to paint restricions of who is allowed to use the software (breaking F(L)OSS definitions) as a “Freedom”, the freedom to “refuse”. Actual use of Orwellian phrasing there. And then somehow: Open source = Siding against Palestine.

You can make lots of money off of F(L)OSS software, see Redhat, SUSE, etc. Its just a different business model, e.g. support contracts, administration, e.t.c.

This is really amazing, I never thought that an exotic system so un-linux-like could ever get a proper gpu driver, nevermind run the newest hardware!

Still no NTSYNC…

Same with guix.

Ah okay! No its not rootless, in fact it can only do fullscreen I think, thats why Im still searching for a better solution!

Its not just for games, you can remote any program(or the entire desktop) with it. Not sure why they advertise it like that.

As for rootless: As far as I know you need some elevated Privileges to be able to capture Wayland, but it does not need to run as root. Not 100% sure though.

Im searching for a solution too. You mentioned wprs, have you tried its predecessor xpra?

And theres always stuff like teamviever, rustdesk, and my personal favorite moonlight/sunshine, although all of these are for a slightly different usecase(full access to a remote desktop).

soooo… What is this? What can you do with it? is it a ollama replacement?

Rust has its uses, it certainly has its place in the world of languages. I think if you are making a new low level project, rust is a good pick.

The Rust4Linux project was always fundamentally going to create disagreements and strife. Lots of angry headbutting was to be expected. It happening in such a public way, with sizeable collateral damage, was not.

I find it of note that hes only stepping down from the DMA mapping and still maintains other parts, so its really just about rust.

oh wow, no one is left from that disagreement, they both resigned.

nooooo, whyyyy, i wanted to play it on the steam deck :(

Alright, fair. I was more refering to the content of the message, not the (botched) metaphore of maintainers as a force of order.

I read the “thin blue line” email and it seems… reasonable and sensible? And seeing how he is so appaled by it makes me question his judgement a bit.

I was only alluding to the fact that its a low level language like C, but with a more modern design and safety features, not anything specific, sorry!

I dont think that there is another way. They are gonna have to coexist with the old guard. The problem is, they are both right. Rust is the better language, its basically made for this task, but C runs everywhere, it has a much larger userbase, and introducing a second language into a huge low level program like Linux will make it much, much harder to maintain.

Nightshade doesnt actually work btw. Denoising, a common technique, also breaks nightshade completely. Its also closed source, with no way to test if it actually works for the big AIs. The person making nightshade is really fishy too.

I think thats only if you let them host it, selfhosted is unlimited
