Focusing on Git seems like completely the wrong pitch. Git is a distributed VCS - in all your examples you were clearly trying to use Git in a centralized manner with no backups. I suggest focusing more on your own product than on Git.

An X11 wm is childs play compared to a Wayland compositor. I have been eyeing River and various other Wayland options too, in case I find myself compelled to switch to Wayland at some point, but the sheer complexity of the Wayland side has held me back.

What do LLM’s have to do with code licences, and since when has the utility of code depended upon an LLM instead of, you know, its own utility?
> In our previous startup, a data scientist accidentally destroyed a month’s work of his team by using the wrong Git command.

While git is indeed a usability clusterbomb and there is massive space to improve, the problem above sounds like a devops failure. Git gives you all the tools to prevent such a disaster, all you have to do not give the root password of your CI server to any data scientist.

On the topic of your startup, I would very much like a lighter learning slope, where I can introduce regular non-coders to the benefits of source control, and still have the advanced brancing/merging/rebasing etc. for the wizards.
The main OCaml implementation doesn't, but I believe there are several third-party tools that automate this. And as you've mentioned, comments in `.ml` and `.mli` do tend to differ, so even the default auto-generation may be useful because it will do as many jobs as possible without a human intervention.
I have not read 2009/24/ec in great detail, but skimming it plus reading Wikipedia's description of it suggests that it is about copyright.

Haier Europe's main complaint was with the Home Assistant plugin's use of APIs running on Haier's servers. That's not a copyright issue, and so appears to be out of scope for 2009/24/ec.
> Until we get rid of governments

Nice to see you taking the eco option. Without governments to provide health care, security and infrastructure the world population is sure to decline drastically and then the biosphere will rebuild itself.
My friends often joke that a person who is checking our tickets is able to do precisely this mentally in their head – when that person is satisfied by seeing a QR code rather than scanning it.

It became very popular over here with the Green Passes (EU Digital Covid Vaccination Certificates). Waiters, etc. were supposed to check whether the guests are vaccinated, but 99% of them just demanded any random QR code to be shown to them, took a look at it and considered it done.

Unless we are a country of hidden math geniuses :)
Best thing I saw is cubes.
It depends on the company. VW has a serious problem because they are selling a mass market product where they need to compete with the Chinese products. And while they make fine cars their infotainment system that now controls everything is still terrible (laggy touchscreens, complicated UI and so on) and the cars are expensive and their EVs are slow. Unlike many here I think touchscreens in a car are fine if done well (like Tesla), but getting it right is extremely important.

On the other hand, BMW/Mercedes for example sell much based on brand recognition and to a market segment willing to pay a lot. This is unlikely to change soon, so their strategy is reasonable.
Yeah, it's not mandatory. The specification itself recommends a very concrete algorithm though, and one of its criteria is literally the average density [1].

Anarchy no matter what seems to still lead into hierarchy. Even if it ends up wherein land owners are top of hierarchy and everyone else is below.

But then there's the land owners who own enough land that they become the government. They have a security force. They have a sheriff. I think this is what people are dreaming about being when they want anarchy.
This is actually "cameras can't focus close, and QR scanners aren't good at seeing a code which is tiny in the frame".

By making the pixels of the code bigger, the camera can be a bit blurry to get the code big enough, and then it'll read.
Anarchism by definition is not organized. So you will find different anarchists with wildly different takes and ideas.

You will find pacifists, and you will find proponents of civil disobedience.
You will even find some who think violence against the far right is motivated.

I'd say most are pacifists tho.
I'm still skeptical. Let's wait for a few years and see how the quality, after market and customer support really is. In my experience, that's not a strong-suit of chinese brands.
Those licenses aren’t open source.

People get salty because those license changes are from open source to source available (like the BSL).

Some of us (myself included) even consider licenses like the AGPL to be nonfree.

Free software can be used for any purpose, including competing with the original authors. If you can’t do whatever you want with the software, it’s not free software.

If you want to open source your software but you want to put restrictions on what people can do with it, then, well, you don’t want to open source your software (and IMO the free software community would be better off without your free software cosplay).
Fur is probably pretty low-friction to begin with. Also, bears presumably have wax glands in their skin like other mammals, so if the bear hasn't showered very recently that would lessen the friction even more.

> Devices that have become the most essential piece of operating as a person in this century.

Because of the companies you say are "barely innovating at all". Schrödinger would like a word.

> Each company taxes every single form of commerce, transaction, and customer connection on their devices. Devices that have become the most essential piece of operating as a person in this century.

You're conflating the device being essential (well, useful, not essential) with the apps. My banking app is free, for example, or any shopping apps I have. How many of these essential apps are paid?

> They choose what you can do, what you can deploy, when you can deploy, what tech you can use, and they tax you 30%.

You're thinking of governments. You choose to buy a phone as a convenience value add to your life. You must pay 30% in tax, regardless of what you get back.

> These are more important than the internet itself at this point

They aren't. They need the internet to work. And you can do lots of nonessentials with them, but lots of essential things can be done with a Web browser, and if a service is locked behind an app store, that's a service delivery problem, not an app store problem.

> there are only two companies

There aren't only two companies. There are lots of companies making phones. There are two main OSes though, it's true. And with those, nothing stops anyone creating a third, e.g. PinePhone, except ability and financial environment.

That analogy doesn’t really work for interpersonal relationships. If everyone likes you, you’re not going to get fired from the CEO position for missing one ball. And if you miss a bunch of them, you’re probably no longer the best in the world.

That said (and I haven’t read the article yet), the quote the original commenter picked doesn’t say he got the job back due to interpersonal skills. “Influence and reputation” could just as well mean he’s known for being ruthless and vindictive with friends in high places.

But it won't be like that, will it.
There will be an infotainment system with broken features and no updates, there will be tracking and of course some software is inevitable in modern cars, not least because the regulations demand that. There will be no standard parts. The reliability remains to be seen.

Well first I meant "not rivalrous", whoops typo.

But from there my point was that, in order to ask what "should be", you must ask what can be. I don't think there is a way for ideas to be non-rivalrous, period.

So sure, saying ideas are not rivalrous is descriptive, but there isn't really another option.
I mean Supabase was initially a glue layer on top of existing open-source tools, not sure if they could’ve kept it closed source even if they wanted (though I guess most of the licenses of the stuff they used would allow it).
Yes that's what you sell but if you also have development costs and your freeriding competitor doesn't, how often do the finances of it work out?
Seeing the guy who couldn't deliver FSD decide to make analogies from FSD to AGI does actually give me confidence we are decades away.

Yes, yes, I know there's like 1-2 companies that have highly modified vehicles that are pretty good, in a limited geofenced area, in good weather, at low speed, driving conservatively, local roads, most of the time. This is not "FSD".

They've been making very impressive incremental improvements every few years for sure. I had a Tesla for nearly 5 years and it was "wow" at first, and then "heh, I guess it's a little better" every year after that.

But when can I get in a taxi at JFK or on 5th Ave and get robotaxied through city streets, urban highway, off into the far suburbs? Could be a decade, if it happens. Just because we were able to make horses faster doesn't mean we flew horses to the moon.

Apply the same "sorta kinda almost" definition to AGI and yeah sure, maybe in 10 years. Really really actually solved? Hah.

All Chinese cars I've seen for sale here so far had infotainment systems and pointless use of touch screens.
But as a commercial consumer, I still value source available offerings quite a lot. I can debug my own issues with them, I can see how well they're built and I know thousands of eyes are looking at them.

Depending on the software, I agree it's not as good for me as free software, but it's not worthless.

Not paying close attention but I thought the problem being fixed was that twitter was a business and blustery is designed as a protocol.
The author is clearly a utopist, advertising and trying to promote his own oss views. However, while oss has its growing niche it's clear that it isn't for everyone.
The thing to ask yourself before going oss path is what are you gaining by going oss and what are you trading for that gain. For supabase it's clearly beneficial to be oss, they are a niche database, and by going oss they can benefit a lot from integrations, not to mention they are basically ripping off the evil firebase. So by going oss they are perceived as heroes. On top of that who would use another closed firebase that isn't from google? They can't compete on pricing, nor the scale.
I think supabase were even advertised as open source firbase at some point.

However if you are not ripping off some popular commercial tool and making it open source, and making open source as your main differentiator, in that case there is very little to gain by going oss. You might as well get most of authors advertised "oss benefits" by just having great developer experience and docs, while giving very little in return.

#5 is definitely suspicious reasoning - no surprise it is being appealed in the courts. That said, having read a little about this colourful persona, I have to admit my thought was “good job, he deserved it” although I know I really shouldn’t think like that. :) This is really an example of cancel culture, just done by the government. The problem is that there’s not really a law against being an arse and bringing in such a law would do more harm than good, so they are doing “the wrong thing for the right reasons”.

The other 2 cases seem pretty clear-cut and less than 0 sympathy from me personally.

FWIW, based on my experience in living in both systems there are some fundamental differences in culture that may help to get a better perspective: group has priority over individual; responsibilities / duties of the individual rather than rights; the more people you reach with what you say the higher the expectation that you will be a role model and the greater the censure if you don’t (sadly corruption and cronyism often gets in the way); a very strong “us” vs “them” mentality. I see these all the time playing out in different ways.

As for applying “western standards” I actually had a law lecturer (I studied and live in UK) argue that this sort of thing is an example of “cultural imperialism”. I would just caution that a thorough understanding of historic, social, geographical (and other) challenges should be considered before trying to import patterns from elsewhere. Governance is what we would call in IT a “hard problem”.

I’ll stop before this becomes an essay. :)
Yeah, I link against C libs because reimplementing the protocol seemed like a pain in the ass. The prevailing strategy seems to be to generate code based on XML protocol specs, and I'd prefer to avoid that crap. That would probably be less painful in Ruby as then the code could just be generated at runtime based on the XML.

Also since all the prepackaged wayland libs are heavy users of functions declared as `static inline` I have to create shims for those as they are not linkable. That part is a pain in the ass but pretty simple to resolve :)

And yeah, there is so much to set up just to get a bare minimum going. I guess that would be true in X11 too.

Chinese companies iterate, learn, and adapt very quickly.

If their goal is to be world-class automakers then they will quickly learn from local markets and adapt accordingly.

For instance, I used to have a Huawei phone and the quality was on par with Apple and better than Samsung (taking Apple on was their goal and they executed accordingly).

Tesla has been quite successful despite a few hickups along the way, including regarding quality. My guess is that Chinese brands can follow at least the same trajectory, if not better.

Consider also that BYD supplies batteries to Tesla, at least in Europe. So at least on that front they seem to be world-class if not leaders.
I will say that Mastodon actually does this quite well... they key challenge is lack of US adoption, which means whole US centric interest groups (like AI/LLMs) aren't on it. But if you're in, for instance, German hacker spaces, it's a perfectly passable Twitter alternative with actual working federation.
The other poster in this thread is advocating for GC as an alternative to C++ smart pointers in cases where the overhead of these is unacceptable, so giving up an entire processor/core to run GC would be a non-starter (in this performance-driven use case).
By that definition though, if we were anywhere close... I'd expect a peer AI power & authoritarian regime like China, which also focusses on EVs, to have some tier 2 city with robotaxi-only mandate by now and a working model for what it looks like.

Yet there are no signs of that. If anything they appear to be behind us.

One can release all code under free software licenses without being or trying to be “a successful OSS project” and its associated overhead.

I don't consider people having to adjust a negative. We don't have a right to never have to adjust or adapt to a changing world. Things change, people adapt. Well some of them. The rest just gets old and dies off. Artists will be fine; so will everybody else. If anything, people will have a lot more time to do artistic things. More than ever probably and possibly at a grander scale that past generations of artists could only dream about.

Misinformation, aka. propaganda, is as old as humanity. Probably even the Romans were whining about that back in the day. AIs are doing nothing new here. And it's not AIs spreading misinformation but people with an agenda that now use AIs as tools to generate it. People like that have always existed and they've always been creative users of whatever tools were available. We'll just have to deal with that as well and adapt.

Open sourcing your code doesn't necessarily mean that you're giving your product away for free.

The value in a lot of businesses (most?) is in the distribution and my core argument in the post is that being open source actually gives you an edge here, especially in markets where your competitors are unwilling to take this approach.
It sounds more like gatekeeping to me rather than being cranky. Not saying you are actively doing so, but I'm not sure RFID and the likes are "easy to teach things". Quite the contrary, actually.
