Euro-Office, Europe's open-source alternative to Microsoft Office and Google Docs, launches June 9
Reply in thread
OnlyOffice is both. They have a fantastic web version that integrates well into NextCloud already. And they have a mobile version too. Assuming all of those get forked with it, we can certainly expect a Gsuite alternative.

De-Google Your Life - Part 1 - YouTube LTT
I hope one day there will be a good Google Wallet alternative. I've got a Pixel phone with GrapheneOS, and Google Wallet does not work because Google doesn't trust it. It would be great to get something in it's place.

Qualcomm goes where Apple won't, readies official Linux support for Snapdragon X Elite | Tom's Hardware

If Apple really care Asahi wouldn't be reversed engineered, and instead would be implementing from docs.
No. Apple cares as much about FOSS as they care about privacy. They only care when it suits them.

I’ve just released Gatekeeper 1.6.0. It’s a single executable that turns any Linux machine into a home gateway. Now with realtime traffic graphs, LAN autoconfiguration, full cone NAT and better looks.
I don't think I fully understand how this is supposed to work. Am I correct in that this service acts as the gateway on the network? So clients would be configured to see this as the gateway, and this then subsequently pushes things through the real gateway (router)? Thus essentially everything (most things?) that the router does would be done by this instead?

Let's be honest, that's referencing America more than China.

Interesting time to say this while Israeli military are killing civilians left and right.
I don't condone what Hamas is doing, but you can't just say that without acknowledging that Israeli military is doing equally bad, if not worse, things.

[Rumor] Valve may be working on official Waydroid (Android app) support for Steam
I hope so. I really want Valve to allow Android games on to their store and allow installation from it etc. I'd trust Valve way more than Google, thus I'd be way more inclined to buy Android games.

Depends on which parts you look at. There is plenty that he wrote about that have made coding enjoyable, but yes, also plenty that is the opposite.
I never saw his book as a bible though. I always thought of it as a "here are possibly good ideas, see which you and your team likes".

YSK that some internet browsers respect your privacy. Some internet browsers don't.

What's prop 8 campaign? Why does it matter whether the donation was done before or after Brave was started? Why does it matter that support for LGBT was lower when he made the donation?
You're attempting to make it seem like it's fine because of all these arbitrary rules you've place and by hiding what he donated to (most people won't look up what prop 8 is, and you know it), but why not hold people accountable no matter when or how big the issue is?
You can also hold them accountable on all the issues, not just the issues you care about. Just because you care about issue x, doesn't mean someone else caring about issue y is invalid.

‘This Is a War’: OpenAI and Anthropic are spending massive amounts of money to influence US midterms
Reply in thread
Except AI has a limited but valid use case, where FTX was straight up a scam. Will get back to you if (and that's a big if) they discover a way to do AGI.
I do agree though. It isn't far off from from what SBF did. All this money circlejerk has a limited run. I've stopped investing past couple of months. Will see if I lose or win.

SF ads call out tech firms for not paying for open source
Reply in thread
This is hard though. You present commercial license, and you'll cut out a good 80-90% of the potential users, which means the OSS project is way more likely to die.
I think CTOs should be okay with allowing their employees to contribute to projects they use. In my first hand experience, they're more likely to say "no we shouldn't". It's unfair really.

Samsung, Google take on Dolby Atmos with new 'Eclipsa Audio'
Reply in thread
Bear in mind Android was meant to be an open source endeavour. They'll release the OSS version, then slowly close the up the market as it gets adoption, so that it really can't be used without their approval.
Considering there's this about media, there will be some sort of DRM involved. I guarantee it.
