Web of trusted peers maybe? Honestly beyond AI not all contributions, no matter how helpful, are equal as a metric. That is to say linus torvolds himself might not be the best guy for contributions for UI changes to Genomic research tool. Clearly VERY reputable on a massive OpenSource project, but not in related work (as far as i know for the stupid example i made up).
They think the code is good and makes the project better? They want to test/prove their “skills”? Its partnof their day job?
Basically the same reason anyone contributes, just they got sold a bag of rocks and told how amazing a hammet it is.
Just the ones with any back bone willing to stand up to this shit.
For corperate distros (so anything you need to work and not just want to work, ) SUSE is the last torchbearer of full FOSS.
But honestly thank the community for Debian, Arch, and Guix for keeping the community stuff awesome for the rest of us
The NRA even denouced him for the attempted on gun rights
I’ve had calls with them on Zoom as well. They kind of just use whatever the customer wants to use imho.
Firefox addon for regular users when?
Built a homelab last year. Told myself “ehh skimp on the ram you can upgrade that later”
“Hey this thing is here” and “have this problem try this” are useful enough that even without paid ads people make that content.
The lifestyle manipulation, feeding unfounded fears, biases, anxieties, and rage for almost anyone reason is evil to me.
Tons of open source projects organize their unfortunately
Forgejo supports GitHub actions and of course git.
The forge metadata though? Like issues and such, are a harder problem to me
Right cloud migration to sovereignty to me is SaaS --> PaaS/FossApp --> IaaS/FOSSPaaS/FossApp --> HybridCloud(FOSS IaaS onPrem, shared FOSS PaaS in both) --> MultiCloud
I found open standards were easier to push. You can, as an org, force Office to save as OpenDocument formats. Converting records takes some investment too though, but that one REALLY can show why it matters some times too. There are US laws that require documents be in those formats actually, for gov that is.
That also opens up the fringes/early adoptors to use FOSS apps if they can.
I said it before, but I’ll say it again. Every bit of liberation makes the next part easier. Even if it’s small.
Chew gum and walk at the same time.
Move to FOSS apps. Move away from proprietary SaaS to FOSS SaaS or even IaaS. Move to open standards (qcow vs vmdk, odt vs docx, etc). Move from proprietary OSs to FOSS ones.
The real limitation is, well budget to invest in administration and software development (which moves costs from OpEx to CapEx), and an “innovation budget” which the most amount of new things an orgs given domain experts can juggle at the same time.
That said if have the orgs move to SaaS Element, half self host, some stragglers bridge teams, outliers bridge XMPP, etc etc. It doesn’t matter it helps push the ball forward for all of the teams. If some move LibreOffice, some OnlyOffice, some just start forcing their Microsoft Office systems to save to OpenDocument formats, etc etc
All push the ball, every step liberates them a little more so they can more easily do more!
To me the difference is always, why do you believe this is true. A lot of the bullshit stuff is 1. It’s possible 2. They don’t like the person it’s about, and that’s it.
Kind of reminds me of people saying a small mom and pop “failed” because all it did was feed people for 30 years and brought enough money in for them to raise a family.
Like damn, yeah maybe it’s not the fucking stone henge but it probably did more for people today then the pile of rocks.
Damn. I though this thread was being hyperbolic but they really wrote it like Intel will, for the first time in their history, making GPUs lmao
Especially since there are tons of specs that arent direct wifi upgrades in that same convention. I.e. 802.11ah for long range or ap for WiGig 802.11ad or confused with 802.1ax the Ethernet link aggregation standard.
Imagine trying to explain that in the store to the person that calls the wireless access point “the Internet”.
Sweet! Element already has some work put into for secure gov use, plus federation is the reality at scale.
That is really good point! I would rather see those results myself too.
Its just a average body of text based on the prompt so it can be wrong but is interesting to get a sense of what people behind the firewall do say for this context.
