Unless it’s about revoking all trade agreements that obligate EU countries to enforce digital IP ownership, it’s a half measure. Corey Doctorow is right, we need to make jailbreaking American tech legal - kick them in their wallets.
EU getting serious on something? Don’t give me hope.
“Getting serious” means sending Microsoft and Amazon a strongly worded letter while sending Linus Torvalds a fruit basket.
They compromised and sent them both a strongly worded fruit basket.
Does Torvalds accept fan mail (physically)? I would love to send him a handwritten “thank you” letter for all of the work he’s helped lay for all of us :)
I don’t actually know. He strikes me as someone who prides himself on his privacy overall.
I had in mind whatever the Finnish equivalent of a US P.O. Box would be.
He lives in the US though
In that case, I guess I’ll just check the Linux Foundation’s website?
More traction for open source sounds like a win for gamers as it’ll typically mean better performance gains with less work from the user (manually installing drivers, tweaking ini settings)💪
You won’t have gpus or ram anyway
«Open source»
Sso, advanced features, multi tenancy etc all locked behind commercial features.
Can you really find any open source project these days that you can just use in a company?
Yeah LDAP, Kerberos, SSO and other systems are available on Linux. Biggest thing seems to be peoples reliance on MS office document compatibility, so even though the libre/open office type products can supplant that, it is a tough sell when your vendor or customer wants MS word as a requirement of doing business together.
We sell PDM/PLM systems, some people choose the Linux version for their enterprise, many choose the MS windows version, because its just what people know about.
I think Linux on steamdeck might usher in a new generations of people that know about Linux and want to try it in the wok environment.
And this pdm/pdl system is open source is it?
Yeah, I should have expanded my thought. They use open source, but it is a paid proprietary system, I mentioned it as there is linux or windows offering but people choose what they know; Which is windows. But if you can get corporations on Linux (even non-opensource) it lends legitimacy for when other businesses look for an OS choice, which then can help Foss app adoption
Not sure why folks are downvoting you, when Google literally did this a few days ago.
What’s “not worth reading” about this?
