    No, refold have a basic SRS web app now. It's terrible though, awful. Refold is basically trying to commercialize the community MattVsJapan created with awful things like proprieta…

    The definition of open source requires that you must be allowed to use the software for commercial purposes. While this library does have a commercial license available, it is dual…

    I thought grub2 does support this now?

    Dark Reader just shows up in the addons section for me in fdroid Fennec, and Firefox mobile. I don't think you need to do anything special to get it to work.

    Yea, I've used that before but just switching between vertical and horizontal tiling doesn't get you anywhere close to dynamic tiling and on demand layouts.

    Pretty sure they were referring to the amount of resources Valve puts in to keeping the PC platform open, including the vast amounts of ooen source software they create and the one…

    1. MS buys many game studios (especially those with popular IPs) 2. Puts these titles on Game Pass. Now in the long run, they don't need to sign deals for these IPs to be on Game P…

    No, the biggest feature of DWM is dynamic window tiling (pretty sure DWM stands for Dynamic Window Manager). Sway/i3 can be made to kinda dynamically tile with scripts, but it's mu…

    The AMD microcode, running on my computer, isn't going to lock me out of my computer. You don't get full freedom with that microcode in the free software sense, but that's besides …

    That's a pretty nice plugin. I don't know if you're using it with the latest version of beets, but I'll give it a go, and hopefully it'll work. If not I'll try to get it working an…

    Same. Don't know what I'd do without beets, can't imagine using Picard. The rich set of plugins are equally amazing. For instance, I use the Playlist plugin, and whenever I update …

    Exactly. Copyleft is more about "freedom for society" as a whole, ensuring all users (which includes developers) retain this version of freedom. Permissive licenses are more about …

    It has literally nothing to do with the metaverse or virtual offices. It's a productivity device. While I don't think it's something I want, plenty of people like the idea of havin…

    It's not open source though. I think it used to be a while back but it hasn't for a long time. There's also the fact that it's more difficult to modify software and self host it wh…

    Apologies for misgendering you. My opinion that you come off like a windows fangirl was mostly due to the other rant you linked in the sixel-tmux rant: https://github.com/csdvrx/cu…

    OP, your rants are pretty subjective and imo come from a place of windows fanboy-ism (before someone reports this comment for flame baiting, go read both of OP's rants in the repo,…
