Microsoft is in conflict with itself if web apps, modern native apps, or classic native apps are the future. That’s why even different Microsoft applications feel as or even more disconnected from each other than using KDE applications under Gnome.

I wasn’t disagreeing with you, I was making an (hopefully) entertaining comment.
But that stinks of communism, doesn’t it… 😄
Sprinkle a bit of communism on that capitalism.
The main failing here in the US though is that rail maintenance falls to rail companies that have little financial incentives to spend the money on safety. That may be changing, however if the federal government just hands over money with inadequate oversight it will just enrich the companies.
Sounds almost as if critical infrastructure should be owned by the public.
They cannot veto it. The patents for x86-64 and SSE2 lapse next year. The only say they have is on extension newer than these two.
X64 doesn’t exist. Microsoft used the label for Windows for a while to distinguish from IA64 (Itanium) and 32bit x86 editions of Windows but these days Microsoft moved mostly away from those labels and only uses them when talking about ARM.
Bluesky is the promise of Mastodon with none of the failsafes of Mastodon.
Why do farmers keep buying that shit?
You replied to a comment referencing the open source definition and it’s clear you did never read it.
Atlassian could sell extensions, though, they would just need to comply with the AGPL. The AGPL means that the entire platform must comply with the AGPL, so proprietary platforms couldn’t use it but in a fair “applies to everyone the same” and not “we don’t like you individually” kind of way.
How is that not open source?
Google “open source definition” and read for yourself.
Its still totally open source
No, it’s not. Those restrictions are against the open source definition.
Edit: Lol, people with no clue donvoting what they don’t want to hear. The open source definition is a fixed set of clauses. Read up on it.
I think I tried Winamp back in the day but never really understood it.
What was there not to understand? It was a basic music player with playlist functionality, a plugin infrastructure to support playback of pirated music in underground formats like MP3, at the price of completely free and no ads (the website had banners but not the player).
Nobody’s stopping you from living shorter if you think that the world is going down the drain anyway.
The GPL is not a “whatever” license.
Every few months a news story: “Google workers in revolt over XYZ”. Then nothing changes. Not really a worker’s revolt then.
This thread transformed from being about a serious issue on the fediverse into a pile of accusations on a personal level. I don’t see this thread becoming any more civilized the way the comments are spiraling downwards. I’m keeping the post up because, as I said, this is a serious issue, but I don’t think keeping the thread unlocked is doing any good.
Was defaulted on for me (EU)
Not a lawyer but I don’t think this silent opt-in is legal.
Off by default for me (EU)
KWrite hasn’t been released by KDE on the Windows app store, Kate has. Using the app store means seamless updates in the background.
Maybe KWrite is available on winget which would make it a bit less inconvenient than manually downloading each update.
