This is nice for Oracle to say. That being said, Oracle are not "The Good Guys™" and never have been. They might be legitimately honest about Oracle Linux and their commitment to being open and free, but they're horrible about so many other things, and always have been.
Surprised that such a long article never quite got around to explaining exactly what is the problem?! They (eventually) mentioned vulnerability reporting as one concern - is that it? Is there something else?
I tried 15 different note apps after my note app stopped being updated. I didn't like any of them until Standard Notes. It's nice that you can access them from any device.
Okay, I never really looked into Godot, so I knew nothing about it.
Nice to see that it not only supports C++ and C#, offers a python inspired GDScript language, but allows community bindings for other languages. It’s nice to see there are already community bindings for Rust, Python, Javascript, etc.
but allows community bindings for other languages.
The bindings in 3.X were in a really good state even for niche languages, 4.X introduced a new system that threw that out the window as all bindings needed to be redone as a new effort.
More integration was needed for compiled languages, but it kinda sucks that the language I want to use (that was listed as production-ready for 3.X) still isn't an option more than half-a-year after 4.0 released (and still only splintered efforts by individuals).
Possibly, but the most expected immediate direction (both for new contributors and the existing Godot team) due to the current situation is likely improving (or simply using) C# support over any bindings.
In my case, people interested in the same language might actually switch over to Unreal instead (as it does have a language-support plugin). That and I think it's just a tall order to create bindings from scratch especially for 1 person, maybe even a year-long task so kinda sucks the 3.X bindings got broke (still seems odd to me that those devs weren't/still-aren't interested in 4.X).
It's also possible that even the newer bindings require specific knowledge of Godot's system (also maybe a bit of C/C++ knowledge) resulting in less people able to understand enough to even start creating bindings.
I mean I'm sure there will be an ecosystem change (beyond C#) because of this, but it'll probably have more effect longer-term (if Unity can't figure out how to dig upwards).
Probably lends itself to gamedev (particularly highly tunable yet optional memory management, arc/orc likely what most want).
Note that this likely could have been guessed via this list as C# is obviously not it, Rust and Lua have 4.X bindings, so that only leaves 3 options in the production-ready category (and the other 2 are JS/TS).
Okay, I see an emotional story and a set of general statements about how a fediverse platform should be like but I do not see a single sentence regarding what would be different from existing platforms. You have to be specific if you ask tech people for money, this description sounds just… hollow.
From what I see you could just set up your own Lemmy/Kbin/Whatever server, no need for excessive funding upfront. Sorry but sounds sketchy.
The idea behind it was undoubtedly “good” and had protection of citizens in mind. As always the implementation was “lacking” maybe due to failure by regulators to understand how FOSS works. But surely the open source community will find a way to work around this as it has always done.
There. Maybe if they fuck around and find out that the bulk of server software relies on open source software made by volunteers, they'll get their head out of their ass.
I agree, power to regulate should be given to knowledgeable people who understand what they are ruling about. At least proprietary software using open source libraries and frameworks (released unfer LGPL or Apache or MIT licenses) is not affected and can continue to sponsor FOSS development so this is not the end at all. What I said is that maybe communities will find a way to continue operating however.
The problem with that (which I would absolutely support if they want to pull nonsense like this) is that you're already under licenses that preclude that for everything already existing. It's not a real option.
Great. So what, will they just be able to directly debit our bank accounts for the $15 million fine when we're found to violate their stupid law? Or will every open source developer will be barred from taking a vacation in the EU lest interpol nabs them for breaking this stupid law? What is their enforcement mechanism?
Yep! :) Same idea, but everything in it is entirely free and open source (Awesome might be the same way, I'm not totally sure about the open source requirement).
As a home browser it's alright, but it really shines for me when I'm at work. I work on multiple projects so I created a workspace for each with default tabs I need. I also added a bunch of startpage folders for HR links, documentation links, stuff I want to learn which is a lot more user friendly than bookmarks, I find. I also added my email client to the panel sidebar so I can quickly check and respond in the same browser window.
Then there's also the cmd + e shortcut which acts like the Mac OS spotlight but for browser functions.
Trying it out right now, seems really solid. Took a while to get all my extensions ported over with all my settings. Wish Firefox sync could sync that stuff too. I love the side tabs, with tabscroller extension it's a blast. Gonna try as my main browser for a while
I host my own Joplin and wife and I sync our notes to it and we love it. She’s non-technical and has no issues figuring it out, but we use minimal features. It did just get the ability to draw pictures as well, but we use that mostly just for the kids to play with.
Yeah Joplin is nice. I sync it to a free 10GB Dropbox account and use it on Linux and iOS. I've also used it with Android and Windows in the past, it's available everywhere and works great.
