Its not. Especially when using US Cloud services. And people do that. Hell even government run schools us GDRP-violating software and force the students to BUY them. The law is nic…

Not really sure what you mean, I saw people on 10mg THC wring crazy code in a crazy speed. Some of them need it to be able to focus and think clear. Drugs never work "one way" for …

in the beginning yes, but VCs want to cash out eventually. Look at mongodb, redis and whatnot that did everything to get money at a certain point. For VCs open source is a vehicle …

Roughly the same is true for sexual interactions. Was posted on HN a while ago. And I think it makes perfect sense, if you look at Japan they have all that development and are like…

Not ducks, but chickens, was very popular in Germany back in the day: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crazy_Chicken

That is the capitalism' playbook all along. Its just much faster because its just software. But they do it for everything all the time.

Especially in non common law countries like Germany or France. Not sure about drivers and other vendors but 3rd party ink or even patches to counters, hw modifications to "repair" …

Well C++ has a history of not really being convenient and makes it easy to shoot you in the foot.

I'm not so sure about which W11 hype they are talking about. But the numbers tell different, in Germany win10 was growing faster then 11.

Well Android 6 is like Windows 95 ;-)

That's a bit harsh given all the problems SMTP and IMAP have. They are very dated and have some exotic "features". There is not a single mail client that gets everything right!

Syncthing can do this and much more. Its the absolute best option to sync anything anywhere. It is very flexible, uses local connections, can only sync on wlan/certain wlans. The o…

It is also hard to contain the DLL/SO, every system has different mechanisms to ensure it can not access 'everything'. Wasm, as build for the browser, has it in its DNA.

Oh thats so not true. The Brandenburg (the state) Ministerpräsident (like Gouverneur) and his team really like to be a big car producing Bundesland. We have Baden-Württemberg (Merc…

Thats true, Telegram has very good UX. But bullshit crypto with a closed server etc. :-(

Yes that helps but brings in other problems. For example many many security problems in the thousands of used npm packages of meteor and its dependencies.

Wekan uses meteor.js which is really one of the worst frameworks out there. It breaks on so many ocasions and has really bad OS support. Event he current maintainer kind of dislike…

Yes but they can add commercial and GPLv3 only modules. Like they did with Qt Charts.

The question should be: When will society accept that capitalism always will kill any form of "don't be evil". There is no choice.

Currently the prices of the used electric cars are crazy. You get a brand new gasoline car for the same price as an 6 year old VW e-up!. The Renault Zoe is still 30k EUR (including…

Well, we will see. As a German I can not believe it will happen, all our big car companies talking about it for like 8 years now. We had the goal of 1 mio. EV cars by 2020 in 2017 …

> Rising popularity of electric cars Currently very slow - needs to accelerate a lot to be significant in 2030 (thats only 11 years). > increasing vehicle efficiency in general The…

Kolabnow is rather expensive and we had a lot of problems with it. The up-time was also very upsetting. Experience was 2 years ago. Self-hosting of Kolab is not very flexible and a…

Older Eclipse based software does not work with Java 9.
