Mano, não sei se foi intencional ou não, mas aqui é uma instância internacional, meio que não vão interagir por não ser em inglês. Tem o !tecnologia@lemmy.eco.br que é de uma instância 100% BR.

Yeah, but there’s also the term “freeware”, which means closed source but free to use.

I’ll edit my comment for clarity, thanks for the heads up.

Projects leaching on the work of companies like that, “freeing the code”.

You mean it the other way, right? Because these companies you defend use the free labor of voluntary developers from the community, which spend hours and hours developing features, fixing bugs and what not, directly or indirectly. That’s how open source works.

When these companies change the project license to a closed source one, they’re basically saying a big “f*** you” to the community. Forking the latest open source version of the repository is nothing more than an effort to keep things the way they were.

huge companies will not pay a cent for Linux in the future

Linux is FOSS, you can do whatever you want with it as long as you redistribute it without modifying the license. Android does that; every GNU/Linux distribution does that. That’s how it works.

if a license says “you can use it for free, but need to share profits over x$”

What you’re describing is “freeware”, what this post is discussing is " open source software". There’s a giant gap between the two.

Shit Smoke, did the C.R.A.S.H. make you sell us out?

Well, as a Linux user myself, I used to do this kind of thing when I was getting started and was too damn hyped about FOSS and everything. Now, I simply ask people what they want from a computer and how much are they invested into tech.

Do you want things to be as simple as possible? Use Mac or Windows.

Do you want to learn more about how things work under the hood? Use Linux.

Gaming? Use Windows (and yes, although I’m a proud Proton user, some games just won’t work, like Valorant and PUBG).

Snapper also uses btrfs subvolumes to create snapshots, so if you did create them during your installation process, nothing to worry about.

I don’t remember if there is a way to create them after the installation, neither if it’s a tough process tho. I used to simply reinstall when I messed up with the subvolumes.

I’m currently using qBittorrent in “mixed mode” (clearnet + i2p), and honestly it’s amazing, even though there’s no current DHT implementation for i2p. Sure, you have to configure your client to automatically add the i2p trackers and everything, but it’s a huge step forward IMO.

I’ve also tested how one could “transfer” clearnet torrents to i2p and it went pretty well, even though you have to modify the original .torrent file to be accepted in some i2p trackers (I used postman tracker to test it, and they only accept torrents which all announce URLs are within i2p).

In general, I’ve found qBittorrent’s implementation pretty stable and suitable for day-to-day use, even though it lacks some features.

It’s not enabled in the 4.6 beta version, I think they’ll keep it that way

Yeah, it doesn’t add up. Why would one go to the restricted access distributor if they can get a lot more by pirating?

Why can’t we have nice things? These people are literally just archiving and preserving old media, and if I recall correctly, they have strict rules of sharing these archived media.

I kinda understand why they got sued by Wiley/HarperCollins due to breaking the rules of sharing unlimited copies of archived books, but this time it doesn’t look like it.

Honestly, I hope Internet Archive survives all these lawsuits they’re dealing with

Sorry if it sounded rude (and yeah, it was kind of a rant, sorry). What I’m trying to say is: these people do much worse things and don’t bother to say “sorry” publicly. The only way to make them behave is to fine them by a huge amount, just like Norway did.

I’m against the trained models being used for profit with no credit or cut given to the humans who trained it.

Sorry mate, hell’s gonna get cold before this happens. We’re talking about the biggest moth******ers on earth since always. Do you think Meta/[insert big tech company name here] will start to behave all of the sudden? These people literally KILL people everyday for a profit (looking at you Instagram).

The only way to get something from these scumbags is fining them something like 100k per hour, until they start respecting people’s privacy
