Ublock has a feature to disable javascript by default. There's no better way to use the internet in 2025

That probably won't work. It will get basic video and maybe audio through, but not features like VRR, which is why you'd care about HDMI 2.1 support at all

Wrong. If that were true, it wouldn't have suddenly gone up 22% this past year.

...I wonder, did something happen recently that might have led to an influx of incels/cucks/betas into the chad Linux community?

Please build AI shit on our patent-laden technologies. Look: we bought Arduino so you kind of have to now if you're an Arduino user!!1

Qualcomm's pitch in a nutshell

I actually have no idea, but whenever he pops up I see people bring out the vaguely pointed pitchforks. I figured I'd point that out to avoid those people derailing the discussion.

I don't agree with OSI either, and think their licenses are exploitative. But their definition is useful to call out orgs like FUTO.

The solution to devs being exploited by big tech is the GPL or AGPL, not whatever FUTO is doing. They're trying to have their cake and eat it too: earn the goodwill that comes from claiming you're open source, while keeping the same restrictions in place you'd see in a commercial software package, which keep users locked down to one vendor (aka "free beer" rather than "freedom")

This isn't a new idea invented by FUTO, it's called "source available". Gitlab is another example of this, as is Unreal Engine, and many others.

Not being the language for programming beginners and data scientists, probably aides that impression, though…

I think it was that back when it was relevant (but replace data scientists with web devs)

I never got interested in the ecosystem myself, but I've run into it every now and then. I feel like it's in the same place as PHP today: still used a lot for legacy reasons, but you'll get weird looks if you start a new project with it and you're under the age of 40

• Futo's software (incl their keyboard) is not open source
• Their founder has ties to Curtis Yarvin. Look him up.

Drew Devault is a controversial personality, but his article on this topic has a good summary of the facts: https://drewdevault.com/2025/10/22/2025-10-22-Whats-up-with-FUTO.html

A BBC journalist ran the image through an AI chatbot which identified key spots that may have been manipulated.

This is terrifying. Does the BBC not have anyone on the team that understands why this does not, and will never work?

Damn, good catch. The others are all slightly different too
