Those definitions need to match the global standards or you end up with your own confusing jargon.

Not really. The first local login to configure it requires a Plex account. And that account times out maybe monthly? It seems every few months when I remote to the Plex server it wants the plex account to login.

The problem with Plex is it isn’t fully hosted. Plex controls user passwords. You can’t use it without logging into their servers.

Imo profit without compensation is exploitation. If you are paid a salary and the owner sells your burger for more, that’s profit. If you make a burger and the owner sells it for profit without paying you anything, that’s exploitation.

As I just found out, as bizarre as it seems, the definition of OpenSource requires that your work can be exploited by large corporations.

The Lemmy users in the thread were angry with a developer because he didn’t want his program exploited by Google/Microsoft/whomever.

It was in this thread here:

https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/21153303

A company was calling their product Open Source because they published the source code and allowed anyone to modify it. But they didn’t want Google taking their work for free. Lemmy users called them scammers/open source washers because they didn’t want their work exploited by large corporations.

I still find it weird that Open Source defenders are adamant that you must allow large corporations to exploit your work or you are a fraud. I had no idea.

It’s open for anyone who wants to play fair, but prevents large corporations from profiting off of your work.

It was just explained to me by many on Lemmy that not just GPL but the actual definition of Open Source requires that you allow large corporations to profit off your work.

I was extremely surprised to find that out. For decades I thought only the BSD license allowed corporations to profit from your work. It turns out that you can’t even technically call your product Open Source if you don’t allow corporations to exploit your work.

I thought it was crazy but I was dogpiled with links showing I was wrong.

It’s worse than that. Rust is named after a Fungal infection known for being unstoppable.

You could do it but it would be enormous. Pi5 draws 10 watts when not idle.

Malware could over write the bootloader allowing it to sit unnoticed forever.

There are free dynamic DNS services so you don’t need to pay for a static ip. I like noip.com.

Oh sure. But it seems like the proper response should have been to reject the last minute changes instead of breaking user space by throwing out an entire filesystem that has been in the kernel for 10 years.

If build volume is a limitation, I’ve seen all sorts of snap together plates you could crib from. For example I recently printed this pacman boardgame. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5396911

The interlocks are completely hidden by the overhangs of the other plates. Once snapped together, you can’t see that it is made of separate parts.

Kind of weird. Lead developer wanted to keep the filesystem working no matter what. Linus wanted compliance to the release schedule.

Disk encryption is Luks not bcrypt and Luks timeouts are configurable.

This should have been done years ago instead of camera bumps. A standardized magsafe lens could make this happen. It would allow dramatic camera improvements without increasing phone costs.

Of course despite Chinese Android phones having it first, it won’t be until 2030 when Apple introduces it as a revolution that it will become standard.

I think he’s referring to the 10 second pause between attempts. It’s security theatre because you can replace the bootloader with one that doesn’t pause.

Boycott AMD, Intel and ARM. They have offices in Israel like Microsoft and sell Israel the hardware used to kill Palestinians.

You don’t have to upgrade to 11 for at least a year or longer. Register a free MS account for your win 10 and you get free patches for Win 10 for a year. Otherwise it’s $30.

It would have to be a national mandate that is available in every city or everyone would use the free service from one city but not vote to raise the taxes in their city to pay for their own.

If it’s a national mandate, then might as well make it a national service.

Many people live in cities without owning their house. So they never see those bills. Renters are usually two levels away from the actual owner. Then there are all the people who live and work in cities but aren’t official renters.
