@gormert, it depends, I mainly against #nonfree soft of big corporations and unattended FOSS or with bad community.

I am calm but still I have the anger against #nonfree software.

61 out of 1982 total packages are 'proprietary'

with 32 of them being 'uses-nonfree'

6 out of those have the word 'recommends' in the reasoning

1 of those don't really depend on the thing it's saying it depends on (expect if you have a specific gpu)

12 of them have 'depends' with one being optdepends

4 out of those have 'qt5-webengine' marked as the reason why

1 marked as depends on electron

four of them being 'nonfree'

12 of them being semifree

#nonfree #archlinux

@Soblow yeah.

I guess #Debian only added them in their #nonfree repo because enough Enterprise users need them...

I do avoid #nvidia at all costs for all the right reasons...

Because they really got worse over time much faster than #AMD & #Intel got better...

This reminds me of that infamous reaction by @torvalds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2lhwb_OckQ

It seems to be a recurring phenomenon that #creators, #developers and #maintainers of #OpenSource #FreeSoftware choose #ClosedSource #NonFree, and #proprietary services such as #Discord, #Slack and #Twitter for #CommunityBuilding. But what are the causes and rationales?

Feel free to provide your answers that are not listed in the survey. And #FollowerPower may help #boosting this survey into the broader #Fediverse.

The billionaire owned media could end all the hate within a week, but they choose not to. Because they are the deep roots of fascism

@qbi Am Ende wirds ein #nonfree #Debian und fertig. So endet es meist bei mir denn es läuft und nervt nicht.

Daniel Lange: Linux App Summit - Applications apparently unable to produce a five page sponsorship brochure

@oathboundFamiliar And don't forget that the official #Discord client is #proprietary, #commercial, #NonFree, #ClosedSource #spyware that sucks up any and all information it can get about your computer and everything on it.

Or how do you think this service, which was launched on #VentureCapital, could be possible without charging its users a fee or plastering everything with ads?

As it's closed-source, I wouldn't even be surprised if it could break out of jails and VMs and scan the host.

Vulnerabilidad inducida por la UEFI

La UEFI hace que los ordenadores sean vulnerables a amenazas sofisticadas persistentes que es casi imposible detectar una vez instaladas.

Do you use a #distro with #nonfree components (e.g. drivers, firmware etc.)?

49 days ago I deleted my Spotify premium account. No regrets moving from a proprietary DRM platform.

Bandcamp is DRM-free and has introduced me to many wonderful artist I have never listened to.

Bandcamp give us many file formats to download music in (FLAC, MP3, WAV, etc), and most artist has set a minimum price, but you can pay whatever you want over that = $1 or $100.

... (#acxi con'd)
A few things acxi is NOT:
* a cd ripping tool. Check out #abcde, it does a good job for cli ripping tool.
* a media player
* a strong supporter of #nonfree #audio #codecs like #AAC or #MP3. It offers adequate, basic support, and that is it.

The focus is always going to be on mainly #xiph.org #vorbis things like #flac, #opus, #ogg (to a lesser extent, since vorbis has moved all dev efforts to opus).

acxi will support the others enough to let you translate them to free codecs.

AWS' new EventBridge Scheduler looks pretty nifty: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/introducing-amazon-eventbridge-scheduler/

The pricing is reasonable, with a relatively generous free (as in beer) tier of 14,000,000 triggers per month and $1/million beyond that. Of course, the /thing/ that's triggered is charged for separately.

Could this be the cross-machine, cron-in-the-sky that I've always wanted? #AWS #EventBridge #Scheduler #SaaS #IaaS #nonfree #cloud #cron

Totally #RetroComputing, #Archeologeek and #ClosedSource / #NonFree but I like the approach : offering a recent OS for an old machine, a way to fight against software #obsolescence. Here it's #C64OS by #OpCoders for the #Commodore64 / #C64 › https://c64os.com :commodore:
