It shows up exactly the same for all the revisions though.

Thankfully the Framework Laptop fingerprint reader works.
I use the DigitalPersona 4500 with libfprint. Unfortunately, there are multiple revisions of the device with the same model number and only some of them work properly under Linux (different encryption method I believe). As far as I know this is not actually documented anywhere. Googling just shows a bunch of unresolved bug reports of people having no idea why it doesn’t work.
You must not be active in any chat systems that are frequented by FOSS developers then? I see it constantly across Matrix, IRC, XMPP and other places.
The bigger problem to me is that I have seen an untold number of open source developers that despise all manner of capitalism in the first place, so you can’t even pay them to work on things. It’s like they just want everyone to live under a rock in the woods and all be poor together or something. That’s not going to progress society very much IMO.
For windows I either use a mingw toolchain from mxe.cc or just run the msvc compiler in wine, works great for standard C and C++ at least, even when you use Qt or other third party libraries.
We can see you totally didn’t do that. Also how would you even get the update?
Open Technology Fund
Which is funded by US Congress, and they also funded Signal.
For those do not wish to use privacy-related projects funded by a world government, what is a good (in your opinion) alternative? Both with and without Tor involvement (since US govt funded that too).
Yes I realize encryption, computers and the internet are all also govt-funded, but everyone is free to pick their battles.
it converts to a true open source license after a predefined period of time
What happens if that time never comes for the company and it goes out of business?
we’re carving a space for companies to safely share
To be fair, it’s no safer than being GPL etc. in that any license is only as useful as your ability to enforce it in court. For a bad actor, whether they violate a fair source license vs a GPL likely isn’t much of a concern at all.
It’s also possible the number of people who like it do not outnumber the people who don’t like it
plot twist the poster is Empress
People who want RT are not everyday people though.
How does an average desktop user benefit from any RT changes?
I don’t think that comparison is fair because I explicitly said that people who wanted RT are already going out of their way to get things done. The average desktop user (putting GPS in every phone) won’t benefit from it (or RT) and it could likely make their experience even worse.
But the RT patches have been available for 20 years… not sure why the fact that it is mainlined would suddenly expand its popularity? It might be easier to get started sure, but people doing RT were already going to such troubles anyway.
What I do is use the “Arch Linux Archive” repo and set it to a specific date, which has a snapshot of all the packages from that time. That way I don’t have to update all the time but can still install packages whenever I want. When I feel like updating then I just increase the date in the mirror URL. In pacman.conf you would set it like so: Server=https://archive.archlinux.org/repos/2024/08/30/$repo/os/$arch
Several solutions have already been posted in here, please do not try to act authoritative when you don’t know the answer. We already saw you asked what VNC even is…
People hate being told to use magnetic tape
Because there are still horror stories of them falling apart and not lasting even in proper controlled conditions
this is dangerous advice. courts can still subpoena the usenet provider for your information.
To rephrase what I said, they explicitly tell you they are not interested in money as a concept at all. They prefer to have none… they basically want to have nothing and wish that the rest of the world believed the same thing.
