People who think politics is some kind of sports fandom are dumb and annoying.

I’m doing my part.

I unregistered my Win 10 key last Sunday and removed the SSD. All my IT is Windows free.

My theory is that not all people are hardliners. They are misrepresented for the opposing propaganda. It’s always exciting to present the other side with full outrage.

I personally think that outrage is evil. It polarizes and is not based on facts, but emotions. People who produce and publish outrage want to destroy the country and its society.

That’s why you won’t see much of the things you’re worried about. You’ll only see tendencies, because there’re really a few hardliners somewhere.

IT departments noticed there are more viable options than VMWare. Thanks Broadcom!

It’s a well-known problem in the upper management that they only understand Excel.

I’ve seen inventories, statistical calculations, databases, project plans, calendars, address books, password management and even presentation slides done in Excel.

But Germany has no space for nuclear waste. They haven’t been able to bury the last batch for over 30 years. And the one that they buried most recently began to leak radioactivity into ground water.

And… why give Russia more military target opportunities?

KVM > VMWare

Mine doesn’t satisfy them, either. I switched off TPM in BIOS.

I laughed a bit. Thanks.

I’ve seen someone using Adobe Acrobat just for splitting PDF documents.

In 2020 there have been around 3000 data centers in Germany. Sounds more plausible to me.

Germany only 521? Seems a bit low.

What counts as a “data center”? How many rooms and how many racks does it need to have?

I don’t like the term “clever” in code, because sometimes it means “I’m too dumb to understand it”. Simply don’t touch clever code, unless you really understand it.

Best example is the fast inverse square root function in Quake. Yeah… it’s clever, but replace it by simple maths and let Quake have performance problems.

On the other hand, using AI for more than assisted coding is never clever. Some day some fuck will use it in medicine and will actually kill people. AI is not at fault here! It’s the programmer who killed a patient in this case by being irresponsible and lazy.

Devs care to debug code only if they believe in its quality. Otherwise they write the code again from scratch. This is also cheaper than debugging.

AI code is not clever. It’s all developers averaged. Even if it worked properly, you’d get average quality code.

It’s rather lazy and cheap. This is where the quality is lacking.

Read above please. You cannot import GPL code into BSD licensed code without restricting the code distribution. In the other direction, you can do it and just add a notice about the license. It does not add restrictions to the distribution. Otherwise Linux distributions wouldn’t even have OpenSSH in base install images.

Of other software, yes. For example Linux distributions can use the BSD or MIT licensed code without any problems.

But it does not allow to remove the license from the software.

On the other hand GPL code cannot be imported into BSD code without introducing restrictions.

If you think about how many people use proprietary Android by Google, it is exactly comparable.

Comparing numbers is pointless here. Fact is that GPL has more conditions when you’re allowed to use and modify the code. More conditions means more restrictions. And this means, less freedom.

At the moment large companies sponsor the development, without being forced to do so. And they allow developers to spend time on the project for free.

The foundation also makes sure that devs sign an agreement otherwise the code is not accepted.

So where is this all proprietary?
