Anki does something similar by telling Linux users to not use the version from their distro's repo and to instead install from the Anki site, citing misconfiguration on the part of distros.

The problem with this is that all they have available on their site for Linux users is source tarballs which the user is then expected to build themselves, which leads to some of the same problems that come up with distro builds.

I think it's legitimate for projects to not want to be included in distro repos to avoid problems with misconfiguration and the like (though I think it's probably better to design the project such that this kind of failure isn't possible), but doing that should go hand in hand with providing officially supported binaries in some way, whether that be via flatpak, AUR, custom PPA's, etc so there's always an option that is known to be built correctly.

> The solution to this is to change the license to forbid redistribution, not to write an open letter.

That depends on goals and what they're willing to do to accomplish those goals; it's quite reasonable to not want to stop being open source over this and to try asking nicely.

> I think something that is worth discussing is the model of the Linux distribution that leads to poor user experience like this[...]. It's come up many times among criticisms of Linux ecosystems and distributing user software, but it doesn't seem like the message lands well.

Because it's not universally viewed as a bug. Plenty of folks explicitly want to download software from their distro's official repos, get something that's specifically tested (and if need be, patched) to play nice with the system, and stay on a known stable version. Because the flip side of this complaint is distro maintainers pointing out that if you downloaded random 3rd party software and added it to your system, they're no longer capable of assuring you that the result will work.

> It's remarkable how much easier it is to write software on Linux yet equally remarkable how much more annoying it is to reliably distribute it, compared to say MacOS .apps, the iOS/Android app stores, and to a lesser extent Windows. I don't think there has to be a tradeoff here between Freedom and UX.

Some folks would argue that it's harder because you shouldn't be doing it; https://drewdevault.com/2021/09/27/Let-distros-do-their-job.... . But if you want to go that way, there's always flatpak/docker/snaps to go around the distro and ship directly to end users.

I have a Dell 5285 and use it with a monitor.

My comment is more about the fact that I can stay in the same device while switching mode, as opposed to switching between the Mac and iPad or whatever. My iPad is mostly unused, I only bought it because I thought sidecar was cool.
I’m not convinced the distinction is really important. Would you say running Windows with Hyper-V enabled is non-native for example?
I spent the past few evenings writing about how I strive to be a generalist rather than an expert, and how hyperfocus permeates every aspect of my life in both positive and negative ways.

We already achieved ‘energy independence.’ What good did it do us?
Often politics is not a question of "funding this good thing or funding this great thing", but rather "funding this good thing that we can agree on, or funding nothing".
To be clear, if USB-C charging is mandatory, you cannot have an alternative charging port, unless you want to have multiple ports on your device, which is (I think obviously) absurd. By requiring USB-C, you forbid other port types from being used. So this regulation is forbidding Apple from using their Lightning connector, and also forbidding any other vendor from introducing an alternative. Without revision it presumably also forbids anyone from using USB-D if/when that comes out.

Ironically the mode of experimentation from Apple that you're describing as desirable is the current state of the world, and is the thing that is being forbidden here; this regulation is explicitly targeted at getting Apple to stop using their alternative "HyperSuperCoolRoundedCornerCharger" as you put it, and to change their product to use USB-C.
What about those claims exactly do you consider nonsense?
Also, that isn't my main point, about the (lack of) justice of such action by the EU. I am actually annoyed by incompatible cabling, but understand that the remedy is almost always worse than the disease, so reserve intervention to clear natural rights violations. The EU is an inadequate alternative to Consumer Reports, product reviews, and experience. Also, not everyone has the same values, so the EU is picking priorities for us, which is immoral.
Would you painstaikingly handcraft a recursive descent parser because the generator doesn't give you nice error messages?
Not OP. But a breakthrough innovation in charging could be a new battery-technology holding charge for much longer but required different charging specifications offered by USB-C. Such a breakthrough would hopefully get enough attention from EU to get the law updated. Or they might want the devices to still have USB-C? Who knows who's in charge then.

Also missing from this discussion is the fact that even if the law is only about charging it will define he go-to data-connection for smaller devices for a long time, where an additional port will be dimensionally challenging, more costly to add as well as difficult to make water-resistant.

I am sympathetic for reducing e-waste, but I'm unsure where this will lead us. Crypto-mining is also bad for the environment but might hold unknown positive possibilities if explored properly (maybe reduce bureaucracy, avoid monopolies) that could be extinguished by a premature ban.

I am already paying some of the highest taxes on consumer products compared to other countries in the world, I would rather pay even more for a charger, phone etc., remember an adapter when out and about and keep the freedom of choosing which technologies to support.

*Also just wanted to add that even if OP mentioned the committee, I'm unsure how much you can compare that to EU making laws enforceable in 27 countries.

> Strange how many orgs discover that working less hours or remote increases productivity for most people.

I've worked remote and managed remote teams for many years.

Working remote definitely doesn't not make "most people" more productive. Some people are more productive remote, but the average person gets less done even if they work more hours when remote. It takes a lot of training, mentoring, and performance management to get them back to in-office baseline.
Yeah, I've been looking for more information and I can't really see any indication as to how they are planning on implementing it.

Also, please don't equate Cuba the country to Cuba the government. They are two very different things.

If I were to put on my conspiratorial hat, I would guess the reason for stalling is that approving the G100UL fuel from General Aviation Modification, Inc. (GAMI) will divert profits from Shell and ExxonMobil, both of which provide significant funding for the two US political parties.

In fact, I would not at all be surprised to see approval delayed until such time as Shell or ExxonMobil can develop a competitor -- not an exact copy of GAMI's fuel, but something close enough to not violate the patent.
This regulation is about charging - so power, not data / thunderbolt. And when it comes to charging USB C can delvier 100W, which is enough for any small gadget, phone, etc.

> So, would this require the full balance of the note effectively to be “spent” and sent to a new multisig UTXO? Wouldn’t you also need access to the decryption key from your server in order sign with both signatures? And who pays the TX fee? Is all the key rotation work done on your servers?

> Also, in order to rotate the key, a user would surely need a separate networked device able to interact with the note. I imagine one would also need to install your specific app as well.

Effectively yes -- working on preparing the security overview here, but we need to be in the loop on the re-key procedure. We will open source that app so that in theory you do not need to rely on that, however, you will need to communicate with our server in this case.

> Would there be an open protocol by which a person could perform key rotation if you go out of business and shut down your servers? If your servers go down, I can’t think of how there would be any way for a user to rotate the user key.

This is a great idea, however, it would require us to select another entity to hold the encryption keys (probably not unreasonable). Currently if there is no way to rotate the keys in this case.

> How are you paying to keep the lights on so that these notes keep working though expiration? You all need a revenue source, but there isn’t anything on your website that indicates how you would make money.

One idea we have is charging a small amount to re-key the notes in addition to network fees. We have not implemented this. We do believe, however, that this would be reasonable and fund continued operation of the servers. I should also note that our hope is to amortize some of the server costs in the notes since their operation isn't particularly intensive.

The purpose of a license is to grant rights under conditions to those who would otherwise have no rights to use or modify the software at all.

As the copyright owner, you already have full rights to use the code you wrote the way you want, so you do not need to enter a license agreement with yourself to gain rights that you already have. And so you are not subjected to the license; the license is between you as the copyright owner granting rights to others who are NOT the copyright owner.

As far as public contributions to the GPL'd code (such as Neo4j Community Edition), usually there are agreements that are made (contributor license agreements or copyright transfer agreements) prior to merging the contributed code that resolve issues of relicensing and usage.

I would not blame entire global USB-C standard for issues of one manufacturer.

Ie I have company HP laptop with USB-C charging, something aluminium 'elite', tiny and quite powerful for my needs (not in same room as me now). It works like charm, and since its not mine I treat it relatively very badly (no concern for any kind of protection, travelling on vacations full of sand like right now, its laying on the floor so kids play with it, bang on it, I sometimes roll with chair over it etc).

since its a solid 65w charger it charges my laptop, my phone, wife's phone, our powerbank, our headlamps, my vaporizer, both our wireless buds, gopro, camera, and probably some other stuff. The only stuff it doesnt works on... micro-usb.

Its really magical, the simplifying life a bit when usual (annoying) trend is of growing complexity. For once, thank you EU.

It’s mysterious that gravity may actually be valid enough for us to slingshot rockets around planets, but that the planets may be beholden to laws more primitive than the ones we use to visit them.

I asked the author Simon if these produced accurate 3D coordinates for the planets, and he showed me how to verify it. So somehow, planets moving at constant angular speed along perfect circles are able to produce the same trajectories—but the model claims to go further to explain parallaxes for which the heliocentric model has no answer.

I fully expected to spend time "fighting with the compiler" when playing with Haskell. I think the bigger issue was that the errors I got back from the compiler were very hard to trace back to the code, or to a particular part of my mental model that must be at fault. And it didn't seem to get easier over time - i.e. the same pattern of error message would be due to totally different issues with the model/code.

I'm not sure if this is just a fact of life about FP or Haskell, or if it's something that could be improved on.
