I think there is. I would say the connection is not that electron didn't exist before, but that now that ram prices are high, an increase in the number of electron apps becomes a problem because of the ram usage. Not that the usage wasn't a problem before, but that more people are using even more electron apps now than ever, hence their "industry standard" comment.

How would an independent investigation prove anything further?

There’s no proof anywhere that this is truthful, and no, pictures don’t lend credence.

What would you accept as proof then? Because to me it sounds like this logic implies nothing can be proven at all, ever.

Highly inflammatory clickbait title IMO

lol only took 15 years... that's how long ago it was when I had to write complete/custom replacement software to handle HDR on blackmagic devices instead because gstreamer couldn't do it.

I certainly wouldn't call that pixel perfect either though.

Wouldn't an exact replica be technically illegal?

 

I would prefer to find an operating system I can support that is developed by people who are generally kind, however I find the behavior of many of the top Linux/*BSD devs to be... abhorrent.

Are there any real alternatives that are led by nicer people?

you're using alpine+docker with systemd?

Not everyone of all ages and viewing distances can accurately read text on a screen in a particular language with enough speed.

In their eyes, probably not... but you can't have it both ways. Either you let companies take advantage of you, or you don't...

Open source is the very worst thing currently going on because it is so incredibly exploitative, it's far more exploitative than any actual company is of the workers who work at the company.

Even the people who are getting paid in open source are getting massively underpaid to do it compared to how much the people who are using their code are making, it's nothing compared to the power that is accreted by the people who have co-opted that work thanks to the open source model. And then mark zuckerberg gets to define how the internet works despite having paid for almost none of the software that his company actually needed to make that work.

It's like feudalism or serfdom, these people did the work and got nothing for it. It's like you took the worst aspects of capitalism for workers and the worst aspects of socialism for workers and put them together, that's open source. You get no power and you get no money.

It's exploitative whether the people chose to be exploited, just because someone chooses to let you exploit them does not mean that you didn't exploit them. And for the record that's how most exploitation works; convincing people to do something that turns out to be very bad for them and very good for you, and that's exactly what the open source movement has turned out to be.

I really don't see the "we post stuff on github under a gpl2 or lgpl or apache or mit license", all that is to me now is just exploitation. You can say that there's solutions but until someone demonstrates that those solutions work, it's the standard "real communism has never been tried" argument. AGPL is the only thing that I've seen so far that's an attempt to fix these fundamentally unfair compensation practices.

 

The free community version of Rustdesk Server (a competitor to the Teamviewer remote access software) is AGPL licensed.

https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk-server

The paid, proprietary Pro version builds on top of the community edition by adding extra features such as user authentication and a web backend for administration.

There exists a repo for the pro server: https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk-server-pro

But it only contains install scripts and no actual source code of the application.

The github releases page of this repo however, contains the compiled code of the proprietary pro version and is available for anyone to download for free.

Analyzing the disassembly of the pro and open source binaries shows that the pro version is definitely based on the open source version.

The company previously associated with Rustdesk, Purslane Limited of the UK, is no longer in operation since 2023.

The project has no CLA and so the dozens of previous contributors still hold the copyright to their code and have not given permission for it to be used in a proprietary version.

There have been multiple requests for the source code of this pro version, but either there was no response or the issue was closed without comment.

EDIT: The repo owner has completely deleted the issue, here is a screenshot: https://0x0.st/KaqD.png

To me this just proves they know what they're doing is wrong.

 

Interpreting C++, executing the source and executable like a script.

  • Writing powerful script using C++ just as easy as Python;
  • Writing hot-loading C++ script code in running process;
  • Based on Unicorn Engine qemu virtual cpu and Clang/LLVM C++ compiler;
  • Integrated internally with Standard C++23 and Boost libraries;
  • To reuse the existing C/C++ library as an icpp module extension is extremely simple.

There is also a Qt helper module: https://github.com/vpand/icpp-qt

 

Tried to use several different API endpoints as described in the link, but they all return 403 with a cloudflare "Just a moment..." html reply. Even tried copying an existing jwt token from a working logged-in browser but the same thing still happens.

Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

curl -v --request POST \
     --url https://programming.dev/api/v3/user/login \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --data '{"username_or_email": "redacted", "password": "redacted"}'

I am noticing that some comments, which are coming from users on other verified (via /instances) federated instances, do not show up on a post. For example: https://programming.dev/post/13648105

Does not show this comment on it: https://lemmy.ml/comment/10803786

Any ideas why? I checked the modlog and the comment wasn't removed, and their post history to me does not look like someone that is likely to be banned from the instance, so I'm not sure what else it could be.

 

My lemmy account is on the programming.dev instance but I use newsboat for RSS reading of some lemmy.ml communities, along with browsing the local homepage of lemmy.ml and some other instances in a regular browser. Is there a way to do either of these things from the programming.dev instance so that I can easily comment on posts without having to manually locate the same post by browsing to /c/foo@lemmy.ml on my own instance?
