So true

Wow never would have I tought that a company releasing an Open Source project was only to privatized a few years later, how strange. Not like this has happened long ago and we already have a licence specifically made to counter this bullshit…

People does not understand why we specifically denote Free Software by their name and we do not aggregate them in the Open Source term. Companies always try to change the concepts of change to their own interests, they will always do. Adapting the free software to a much more controllable Open Source, not using GNU when has GNU, etc.

Small details that with time change the whole meaning of concepts.

Now we have a whole community of individual developers that have helped with Android development and which work will be wasted. Just because some intrinsic concepts about software freedom. Wasted resources that cannot be used anymore. Just as what happened with BSD and UNIX with the whole AT&T litigation and stuff. But with Android we already had the Free Software movement. I guess companies are so smart in making concepts for the most of the population.

The only difference is that BSD defends a bit more the owner rights. Either of them defends the software or its users.

GTA 5 Enhanced?? Wtf is that?

They are scared of the C64 large amount of users

This is why python has to be putdown

Rust lacks a language standard. Without that is meaningless programming something with pieces that may change in the future (like what happened with Python) is not a good idea in my opinion.

That’s why Richard Stallman calls kindle the swindle.

We are sooo baaaack!

Let’s play coin flip!

Yeah I have a repo clone just before takedown.

I prefer my nintendont 2 (aka steam deck). Fuck Nintendo bastards and taking down all cool emulator free software projects.

😱

I mean if you have the entire source then you have everything to reproduce the program. Finding a malicious part does not only depend on the source but on the inspector, that is true.

But anyways having the entire code and not just the part that a company feels they may share is better anyways. Even if it’s literally malware.

The free software community users depend on the community in order to detect malicious code. But at least there’s a source code way of doing so.

If I tell you that this building has a structural deformation, having the possibility of accesing the architect blueprints and list of materials is better than just being able to go inside the building and try to search for it, no?

I rather say before GPS there was Transit (aka NAVSAT). Which was the father GNSS system of GPS.

LORAN is ground based so it’s like comparing apples with oranges, yes they are fruits.

GPS is a satellite system while LORAN is not.

If they afterwards released it under a Free (Libre) Software licence then it’s fine. The licence itself prohibites against any obfuscation or combination of obfuscated code with libre one. If you have the entire code, not just some part, as most companies do when go Open Source (not free software), then you don’t have to worry about unknown behavior because everything is in the source.

Obscurity is not security. Obscurity is the fake sensation of privacy, you are on the hands of the creator.

I really hope so but they first need a language specification. Without that it’s no use for me.

C++26: remove C++

I have 10 free games from GOG too and without DRM!
