The US, we ration too. We just do it in the most cruel way possible where the working poor doesn't get access to health care, because they can't afford it, and just lives with preventable and easily treated conditions until they d

About the only one I can think of is connectivity in electronically noisy situations. It's a lot easier to find gigabit sfp modules for linking with fiber than it is to find 100 mbit modules.

Better connectivity. The Nucleo 144 only has 100mbit ethernet, as far as I can tell, but the new ESP chip has gigabit, along with wireless.

by KZerda 4mo ago
Theoretically, yeah. Though at 320Mhz, with only 2.4ghz wireless, even with two cores, I doubt it's going to get anywhere near the throughput to fill the gigabit connection.

Redis started off as Free Software, but was switched to a source available license in version 7.4. The community promptly forked to Valkey, which is still under the BSD license. Since then, Redis shifted to AGPL 3, with contributor agreemen

by KZerda 4mo ago
The BSD license made forking Valkey easier because it ensures that everyone has equal footing. The GPL, especially with contributor license agreements and the like, makes it much more easy for a single party to control the direction of the

by KZerda 4mo ago
The BSD license is why we have Valkey and not a purely closed-source Redis. It would have been much easier to perform the rugpull if Redis had initially been GPLed.

Yes. Offline is how a lot of rootkits are analyzed after the admin notices peculiar behavior. There are a lot of other tells that could be run online to find this rootkit though, most notably, its behavior with ftrace. Disabling ftrace, and

It also helps the developers of apps that Apple can't or won't approve. Apps like ICEBlock could still work just fine using alternative app stores that have backbone.

I used Linux as my daily driver for years, before finally switching back to Windows, and then to the Mac. I got tired of things like wine breaking on apps, I got tired of the half-assed replacements for software available on Windows, like G

A copyleft license like the AGPL didn't stop MongoDB from rugpulling. I'd argue that the AGPL, and the copyright assignment that tends to go with it, makes it easier to rugpull because forking entities would be at an extreme disad

It's grandstanding. He knows it doesn't have a chance in hell in passing, but chose to write this bill with the sole purpose of currying favor. It'll die in committee and that'll be the end of it.

A 5.1 isn't going to do much damage in socal, especially where it was epicentered. Probably the worst is going to be knocked over liquor bottles at the supermarket. Awkward timing, but not a disaster.

The apps are the ecosystem. If people can't run the programs they need to actually do things with their computers, then all the technical benefits in the world are useless. It was the biggest problem 20 years ago with Linux, and is the

Apps still work horribly in Linux. Gimp still pales to Photoshop, Lightroom's still better than Darktable, etc. Same goes for video, audio, etc.

It's not. But you can't whip up a froth of moral panic with something that's been around for 30 years at this point. You have to go after a Hot New Thing that's been grabbing a lot of headlines.

There are other actionable laws that could potentially be used here though. Slander of Title [1] certainly seems to apply here, given that the claims disparage ownership, and could be argue to have caused damages, through things like unwant
