Sounds like if the want to provide their own forked and less functional versions of software, they should rebrand the software like distros used to do with Firefox. Rather than cripple it and leave people blaming OBS.
There’s a significant difference between open source and proprietary software.

With proprietary software you usually have a corporate mandate, a goal etc to achieve. Any new tech is achieved as part of that drive. You can get people on board or not based on that, and once you’ve decided, there is someone to answer to if you can’t deliver.

Open source doesn’t have that. A project can go in twenty different directions at once, you can say you all agree to something and then have people sabotage it without being answerable to anyone.

Does that make open source worse? No. It’s the trade off for being open, which is extremely valuable but it is a very different push in terms of a product.
This seems like a flashback to the xscreensaver fights with Debian of yore, given that the entire fight seems to distill to "OBS is shipping EOL Qt because of unfixed regressions in newer Qt, Fedora views shipping EOL Qt as unjustifiable neglect and repackaged it with newer Qt, which, as described, breaks things." [1]

For those who don't have that in their context - jwz got very upset at people reporting bugs against xscreensaver that had been fixed for a long time in upstream but e.g. Debian doesn't just ship upstream updates every 30 minutes. He requested Debian stop shipping it (or update it? I didn't go reread the entire chain before replying), Debian declined.

He then put in a piece of code that popped up a notification if the system time was sufficiently far past the hardcoded value, informing people they should upgrade, and Debian debated patching his message out.

There are text editors that operate fine on columns. IIRC Emacs and Vim do to an extent.
I think you're misunderstanding trademarks. As an example: if I buy a 12 pack of Coke, I can set up a table and sell them one can at a time. Trademarks require that I don't present that I'm sponsored by Coke, or label my non-Coke as Coke, or a variety of other things that would confuse consumers. That's the entire premise of trademarks: avoiding consumer confusion.

To your example: Debian had to rename their package because they were making modifications to the code of Firefox, so it wasn't Firefox anymore.

OBS could try to make the claim that how Fedora is packaging their code modifies the code, but that's way more tenuous given that building the product with different versions of its dependencies isn't really changing the code.

It's a bit like being a teacher. You get paid terrible money which is not an abstract thing, that has a real life impact. And you have to deal with the politics of academia, which is like the politics of industry but with less leverage to you.

Are you claiming that agreeing with friends to experiment with diets does not fall under that definition? If so, which part do you think it doesn't meet? If you read "physical or psychological intervention by the researcher upon the body of the subject" in such a way that a friend telling another friend to follow a given diet doesn't qualify then most medical research would be exempt too - researchers generally give subjects medication and tell them to take it rather than physically pushing it down their throat.

HN has been like this forever, it's not a recent thing.

When the tech job market and startup ecosystem is weak, HN will say you shouldn't do a PhD because of the cost of living and the worrying job market once you get out.

When the tech job market and startup ecosystem is strong, HN will say you shouldn't do a PhD because of the opportunity cost and the attractive job market that'll pay six figures to anyone with a pulse.
Don't link to this guy's site. He has a serious personal problem with every reader of HN (including the vast majority he's never met and knows nothing about) and serves an NSFW image to anybody that has this site in the referrer request header.
I'm slowly, very slowly, realizing this and that my objections to this are quite literally pissing into the wind to the wrong crowd. Begging and pleading for people to make tech that doesn't torture and depress the average user seems to just fall upon deaf ears, because all that ever mattered to them was the money.
I wrote a DAW (https://ossia.io) and a few dozen plugins (actually 150+ if I count the various small tests and examples in https://github.com/celtera/avendish) and I can assure you that most plug-ins don't add latency.

> There is no way eliminate CPU cycles being spent on whatever the plugin does.

that's not how DAW works, they don't output audio immediately anyways, everything is buffered at the driver level or just above so that there's always 1 or 2 buffers of delay between the input and the output.
There's no difference in terms of latency between putting one or 50 bitcrushers in series for instance because in the end the audio main loop looks like (in a very simplified way):

void process_soundcard_buffers(float** in, float** out, int samples) {
for(int i = 0; i < samples; i++) // samples would usually be the buffer size you set in your audio config
out[0][0] = f(in[0][0]);
}

where f can be one distortion, or 50 distortions - what matters is that their processing time is < than the time you have to write the output and if so you'll always get the same fixed latency. (And if not so, you don't get delayed output, you get crackles because the soundcard will be reading its buffer whether you wrote something meaningful in it or not)
Nah. The difference is one of (learning) rigor. Intellectual and scientific. You learn a lot in the process of getting a Ph.D. about how to think, how to analyze, and how to research.
What's going on, is that Trump / Musk are trying to take over the US governement, either for their own profit or on behalf China or Russia.

Anybody who believes they act in good faith is delusional.

PS. I know it's this comment is not up to HN standards, but we've seen this movie play in other, less powerfull countries, and it doesn't bode well. While I'm not a US citizen, unfortunately the US has (not for long) such an outsized impact on the world, that we will all be impacted by what's going on.
That's why I think that HN should stop censoring these articles, so that people working for Musk companies, which are plenty on HN, can see what's up and what people think about it. And I don't buy the argument that politics should not be part of workplace. We're way way past normal politics at this point.
I can see some of it coming back. Myself I find AI has restored my joy with development by removing most of the drudge and leaving me to be mostly in charges of ideas and direction. It has reduced the amount of time required to build something and works around some of that metacognitive laziness that had crept in.
Does Fedora's OBS ship with non-free codecs as required dependencies?

What should they call the (demanded) fork?

Also,
Flatpaks have different file paths (like NixOS, which has updated packages according to e.g repology), and so selinux fails with many or most flatpaks.
Yeah, I remembered that after, had to open another browser window to confirm it because otherwise I just got the cached one, and then edited.

Considering that trademarks have a long case law with being used to force redistributors offline (i.e. to force my app to not be available on Download.com); I think it is fair to say that it is well established that a trademark gives the owner total distribution control except where the first-sale doctrine intervenes (resale of a product acquired through a legal seller). That doctrine only exists for physical products though, and specifically for items that can be “bought.”
Might as well just list it as Flutter (Dart).
In general, a modern GPU must copy its workload into/out-of its own working area in vram regardless of the compute capability number, and thus is constrained by the same clock-domain-crossing performance bottleneck many times per transfer.

Right? Yet they published this customer case study in 2022 and it never reached HN. Found in 2025 search on GPU firmware security.
I'm a bit confused:

- I charitably went with 208 billion, 25 for every single individual on this planet.

- As the other replies note, I chose a misleading number that is off by an order of magnitude at even the most charitable reading

- You can't see the problem

I don't think it's fair to you to assume you can't see it, maybe you were in an old tab that had my reply but none of the descendants.
> But modifying the build, is modifying the code.

Is it? Across Ubuntu, RHEL, and Archlinux, basically every package is being built against different versions of its underlying dependencies, and is being patched as needed to work with those distros. Trademarks weaken with lax enforcement, so you'd think if that interpretation held it would be amazingly dangerous for any trademark holder whose software was being packaged for Linux distros.

Isn't that the joke? “Anyone is capable of building encryption algorithm that they can’t break” doesn't say that nobody can break it, and it's probably easy for people to assume that "well I can't break it, then it's probably unbreakable" only to discover that in fact it is not unbreakable.
I subscribed to kagi's $5/m plan since last March, and my usage until now is around 3.3k searches, with the monthly distribution similar to yours. Some months it's more, some months it's fewer.

Sure it does, wealth hoarding is a significant factor in students enrolling in doctoral degrees. Be it because it is a step towards more wealth, or because it's not (and as such a group that might be a good fit, but prefer more wealth over deeper education will no longer enrol).

Combine that with very visible people actively promoting that, or representing that, you get yourself a discussion about knowledge, money, and capitalism. And if you dig deep enough you get current affairs and later on, philosophy involved as well.

If you were to remove all incentives on "get educated so you get paid more" and only focus on "get educated so you'll enjoy what you learn more" that might change the enrolment, but as a side-effect, it might also make it harder to find enough people for all manner of work.

Going down this thought a bit more, how much is enough? (money, knowledge) Is there such a thing as a goal or limit? Or better yet, is there a fixed quantity where it's all turned into a zero-sum game? Probably not.

So if someone will put effort in their hoard, would it then be good or bad for society at large? And either way, would such a person do it regardless of the side-effects on everyone else? Even if it has an outsized impact? Would we then not want to talk about someone with a big hoard trying to add a relatively small amount to that hoard at a cost that might be relatively big for everyone else?
Can you cite one of those cases?

Oh it's a way different situation (Debian followed every letter of both the license and trademark law), but is an example that most FOSS people remember of a trademark issue related to a distro packaging an OSS project and needing to change the branding.

kmp exposes everything as obj-c meaning c headers and not very good type annotations (enums are int only so you cant have full checking on each switch, everything is obj-c reference semantics meaning multi-threading gets tricky, kotlin exceptions are not catchable from swift) so there are a lot of edge cases to write unit tests for (on the client side) which negates a lot point of using kmp, and thats in addition to all of the kotlin-isms that leak out...

There's little real difference between OBS packaged as flatpak and OBS packaged as distro RPMs.

This is basically the same conflict between upstreams and distro developers that has been raging since time immemorial.

Comments in case the demo developer sees this:

* The swiping in the demo was a rough for me, on a laptop with Firefox. One of the tricks was to be sure to release the mouse button before the pointer hits the edge of white rectangle fake screen. Swiping off the edge without a button-up event doesn't seem to be handled.

* At the end of a swipe that registers, after you mouse-up, there's a noticeable lag of sometimes up to approx. one second, during which the card is frozen in place, before it finishes sliding off.

* The rotation effect on the card as it's being swiped wasn't intuitive, IMHO. It doesn't follow the vertical movement in the swipe, and there's no obvious physical metaphor for why it's doing that. Perhaps especially with the other roughness going on, the rotation confuses things a little bit more; but maybe, if the other behavior was perfect, the rotation would be fine.

Job hires should be done strictly on merit.

Like for example, if you're a drunkard weekend network news talking head domestic abuser this obviously qualifies you to run the world's largest military and the largest single organization that is part of the US government.

Or if you've somehow managed to make decisions about your own health that led to having part of your brain eaten by a pork tapeworm in AD 2010 this clearly qualifies you to be responsible for the health initiatives of an entire nation.

Or if you've killed a homeless black person on the subway this obviously qualifies you as the sort of "move fast and break things" go-getter needed at a venture capital firm.

C'mon guys this is pretty common sense stuff.

The actual chances of getting a tenured position (or another permanent academic position with research opportunities) are more like 1 in 3, or even better. Most people who get a PhD and are in priciple interested in staying in the academia leave, because they are not willing to make the necessary choices.

And the biggest reason why people leave is not the pay, the stress, the politics, the struggle for grants, the publish-or-perish mentality, or whatever else people are complaining about. It's the forced relocation. You can choose where you live, or you can try to get an academic job, but you can't reasonably expect both. Universities are wherever they are, and their needs for new faculty are unpredictable and highly specific. If you are not prepared to drop everything else indefinitely and move to a place that is actually willing to hire someone like you, you are not serious about staying in the academia.

It turns out most people are not that career-oriented.

> Based on AIS data, Besiktas-M had just transited the Suez Canal and was bound for the Black Sea port of Constanta, Romania. Besiktas-M, a bulk carrier, is more than 550 feet long with a deadweight of 53,000 tons. It’s unclear who owns and manages the ship.

So I don't want to discount likely case of "just an accident" or even "the carrier messed up"... But with all the recent news of "dark fleets" (e.g. smuggling Russian oil) I have to wonder what it would look like if another country wanted to semi-deniably dent up some US military ships.

Interop 2025: another year of web platform improvements
I assume Kagi's customers (of which I've been one since 5/22) are apt to value retaining their privacy more than Google values selling their data. That is to say, it's worth more than $10 (and more than $23 a month) for me to believe my data isn't being sold to advertisers. If you don't take that position, or set different values on it, I can certainly see why $5 or $10 a month wouldn't be worth it to you.

There's also the matter of Google search quality being increasingly bad, while Kagi's is consistently... okay. They also have a a lot of nice features, liking being able to change the weight of different sites in your list of results.

Yeah pretty much. It's seems like it was the same people who were behind ESG/DEI who are now most keen to dismantle it.

The 360 degrees turnaround was very noticeable. It coincided with Elon's purchase of Twitter and the start of Israel/Palestine conflict which highlighted some deep divides.

All these wars, conflicts and social movements feel orchestrated but obviously there is no full or genuine consensus so it's bound to keep falling apart in spectacular ways which finance people use to extract profits... The real winners here.

It leaves the more ideologically minded feeling confused and betrayed... Then business and political leaders keep talking about rebuilding trust. Just as they keep constructing new schemes. But how do you rebuild trust without trustworthiness?

Felt like massive PsyOps. I'm not surprised at all that Trump got elected. It's like the overarching social narrative had literally gone insane and we were expected to follow along?
