@phnt@fluffytail.org @fossdd@chaos.social While a very minor annoyance that feature is technically malware, as it does something that the user probably doesn't want.

@phnt@fluffytail.org @fossdd@chaos.social I'm talking about the donation reminder. I think Anubis is a lot more major, as it requires the user to enable javascript and also does not work with addons like JShelter.

@newt@stereophonic.space @vokainen099@cawfee.club @fossdd@chaos.social @phnt@fluffytail.org I'm not opposed to free software development being paid for by large corporations. Actually on the contrary, I think that's a good thing. People deserve to be paid to develop free software.What rubs the wrong way is the larping pretending to be a poor foundation that desperately needs the donations of regular people to stay alive.This is completely wrong. The GNOME Foundation has plenty of cash and is being actively funded by Google, Redhat, Canonical and many other well established for-profit entities who got plenty of cash.It honestly reminds me of the disgusting Jimmy Wales banners on Wikipedia.

@SuperDicq @newt @fossdd @phnt This. You'd be hard pressed to find out in their memos that they're receiving funding by major corporations. And they always write their memos like "Yes, some (Actually most) of our developers are employed by major corporations, but the Gnome Foundation bla bla bla..." always attempting to spin it like this was some kind of hobbyist project done on the side. Not to mention when they were trying to blame GTK3's failings on having little budget :airilaugh:

@SuperDicq @fossdd @phnt @vokainen099 >The GNOME Foundation has plenty of cash and is being actively funded by Google, Redhat, Canonical and many other well established for-profit entities who got plenty of cash.No, it has not. Their budget for 2024 was ~$550k (https://blogs.gnome.org/foundation/2024/10/10/budget-and-economic-review/). This isn't enough to fund GNOME development, but that's not the purpose of GNOME Foundation any way. Just like it isn't the purpose of Linux Foundation to fund Linux (hence it doesn't).GNOME Foundation mostly spends money on maintaining their gitlab, organising events, and similar stuff. If you read the link above, only $200k directed into development (grant money).>It honestly reminds me of the disgusting Jimmy Wales banners on Wikipedia.I dunno. KDE people made this one time pop-up (once you click on it, it will never show up again) in KDE and people actually went and donated them cash. Seems fine to me. Also, you're free to patch it out if you wanna.https://pointieststick.com/2024/08/28/asking-for-donations-in-plasma/

@SuperDicq @newt @fossdd @vokainen099 >Free software is free as in freedom. Alright since this devolved in it on it's own, here's the correct line of thinking. Free software is not freedom respecting because it doesn't respect my freedom to do whatever I want with it. It's in fact restricting software published under a restrictive license. It's not free.

@newt @vokainen099 @fossdd @phnt @SuperDicq A thought provoking question. TBH, open source is just a bad business model.In a strange way, it breaks the relationship between the user and the developer. Most of the time, when I've gone to donate to a project I use a lot, I find that the dev has depreciated the project, decided to take the project in a direction I do not want, or has decided that they will be using their project for politics. In all of those cases, I am usually forced to go look for a different tool lol!In any case, a project I'll recommend donating to is, blender, it has been great year after year. On the other hand, they care about the users, and have business adoption, so they will continue whether or not individuals give to them or not. Same for godot, though they are more political now, and it may be better to support one of their forks.

@PurpCat @hazlin @vokainen099 @fossdd @phnt @SuperDicq Windows NT was at some point Unix Certified, while Linux has never been.What I mean is that the core concepts (everything is file, use text streams, etc) of the original Unix were proven to be inadequate in practice some time in the 1980s. It's up to debate when exactly, but I consider BSD sockets the thing that killed it. X11 is another good candidate.

@SuperDicq @newt @fossdd @vokainen099 @Pi_rat That's also around the time GNU software started being complete garbage. Coincidence? When a character encoding library can't be bothered to check if the character encoding you are telling is the input is actually correct, you know you've made something horrible. But not in the GNU world. It fails in its one job. glibc breaking ABI on basically every minor release has become a meme at this point.

@SuperDicq @newt @Inginsub @fossdd @dcc @PurpCat @vokainen099 @hazlin If you want the full lawyer speak version of how RH distributes source code, here it is.If you want source code, you either have to sign up for the developer program, which is free, but has the same license agreement (one of them) as enterprise customers with the audit I mention above.Or alternatively you can dig through CentOS Stream's Gitlab repo, which also has all the source code, but it's not tagged in an easy way. You can't go to the rhel branch and grab that. You have to match package versions and commits and that's how you get exact copies.Or another way is to also download UBI docker images and script:dnf down <package>

@SuperDicq @newt @Inginsub @fossdd @dcc @PurpCat @vokainen099 @hazlin It is compliant. At the maximum possible limit. And they can shut down the UBI stuff and they will still be compliant. It's like the KDE and Qt GPL2 agreement where they have the 6 (?) months period for updates to LTS.

@SuperDicq @Inginsub @fossdd @phnt @PurpCat @vokainen099 @hazlin there is no such thing as "wrong" here when everyone fully understands what is actually being referred to. Linux is a family of operating systems. GNU-based systems are a subset of it, albeit a small one. Only a small vocal minority of furry-loving GNU zealots keeps insisting that GNU has to be inserted into every mention of Linux.By the way, I do have experience of Linux kernel development and I find it funny that almost none refers to this project as Linux. It's almost always the kernel, sometimes the Linux kernel (when other kernels are mentioned). Linux referring to the OS rather than the kernel is pretty much ubiquitously accepted.

@phnt @dcc @hazlin @vokainen099 @fossdd @Inginsub @PurpCat @SuperDicq KDE people pretty much maintained their own fork of Qt5, until KDE6 was released. Probably the same will happen to Qt6 if needed.I don't know why everyone makes such a big deal out of this. Qt is still open source and new versions are gonna stay open. Only backports to older versions are closed and reserved to paying customers, and usually it's just a matter of git cherry-pick.

@newt @dcc @hazlin @vokainen099 @fossdd @Inginsub @PurpCat @SuperDicq I'm not making a big deal out of it. I don't really care about the period of no updates for LTS versions as long as the deal isn't breached. It's probably the best deal that could ever come out of that collaboration considering that Qt was proprietary. Current versions of Qt are OSS immediately I think and updates to LTS versions are postponed by I think 6 months. Still better than dealing with the garbage that is Gtk while still having cross-platform support.

@SuperDicq @newt @Inginsub @fossdd @dcc @PurpCat @vokainen099 @hazlin Custom support for other platforms mostly besides *nix/Windows/macOS. Also the reason why Qt can still be used without garbage like dbus, since it doesn't depend on it by design.Qt isn't desktop-only. It's used in car infotainment and other weird sectors you would never expect. Just like the foundation libraries behind Enlightenment (EFL) are used by Samsung to build UIs for their TVs, fridges and what have you.

@SuperDicq @newt @Inginsub @fossdd @dcc @PurpCat @vokainen099 @hazlin There was no pressure from the FSF. In fact they made GTK (technically for GIMP but whatever) and GNOME instead. And failed at the design stage of GTK completely, only because they refused to use C++, because GCC didn't support it at the time.

If you read the link above, only $200k directed into development (grant money).If mere git hosting it burning huge amounts of money, you're doing something wrong.There is no reason for any funding to be directed to events when it should be directed to programming.No decent DE ever begs for money in a notification - that can go in the credits menu.
