It Stands for: fully open source software
As far as I know. And it describes software which is with all its components open source. But as this memes suggests there is an ongoing debate on how heigh the standards have to be in order to call something foss
Nah, FOSS stands for "free and open-source software". There was a time before paid software was a thing, so the "free" there stands for freedom.
In a lot of ways, it means the same as open-source (access to source code and allowed to modify+redistribute it), but it's more idealistic and political, looking to prevent software from restricting what users can do.
You could easily take controversial of all time by going, “Linux is overrated”
I immediately felt my heart rate soar just reading it so yeah probably
I heard if you say that phrase in front of a mirror three times in a row, all the Lemmy servers go down all at once
Linux is overrated *by arch users
FTFY
I use Arch btw, and so does my wife
You can sort by controversial?
yes, on the last lemmy update. but the ui must support it of course.
sync does not, yet
maybe if it was FOSS lol
is 0.19 release out?
Yes
was looking on vger.app (browser version) after i saw that post... unfortunatally it does not support this feature yet. but i am excited xD
