No, refold have a basic SRS web app now. It's terrible though, awful. Refold is basically trying to commercialize the community MattVsJapan created with awful things like proprietary alternatives to Anki.

The definition of open source requires that you must be allowed to use the software for commercial purposes. While this library does have a commercial license available, it is dual licensed under the GPL 3.0, which is an open source license

Dark Reader just shows up in the addons section for me in fdroid Fennec, and Firefox mobile. I don't think you need to do anything special to get it to work.

Yea, I've used that before but just switching between vertical and horizontal tiling doesn't get you anywhere close to dynamic tiling and on demand layouts.

Pretty sure they were referring to the amount of resources Valve puts in to keeping the PC platform open, including the vast amounts of ooen source software they create and the ones they contribute to, primarily for Linux. Hiring devs to wo

No, the biggest feature of DWM is dynamic window tiling (pretty sure DWM stands for Dynamic Window Manager). Sway/i3 can be made to kinda dynamically tile with scripts, but it's much less consistent, less powerful, and hardly wo

The AMD microcode, running on my computer, isn't going to lock me out of my computer. You don't get full freedom with that microcode in the free software sense, but that's besides the point in this situation. At the very leas

That's a pretty nice plugin. I don't know if you're using it with the latest version of beets, but I'll give it a go, and hopefully it'll work. If not I'll try to get it working and send a patch if I do. At the

Same. Don't know what I'd do without beets, can't imagine using Picard. The rich set of plugins are equally amazing. For instance, I use the Playlist plugin, and whenever I update any metadata on a music file that results in

Exactly. Copyleft is more about "freedom for society" as a whole, ensuring all users (which includes developers) retain this version of freedom. Permissive licenses are more about "freedom" for the individual to do whate

It's not open source though. I think it used to be a while back but it hasn't for a long time. There's also the fact that it's more difficult to modify software and self host it when it was never built fir that, vs somet

The issue with Kitty is that its graphics protocol is not widespread yet, so some of the CLI/terminal programs OP uses that can do graphics output may only support sixel. But yea, personally looking forward to Foot terminal implementin

OP, your rants are pretty subjective and imo come from a place of windows fanboy-ism (before someone reports this comment for flame baiting, go read both of OP's rants in the repo, they're far worse). I came to Linux last year, an

CalyxOS, or GrapheneOS, flashed to a Pixel device will be a far better degoogled experience than plain AOSP. Though I don't think CalyxOS's chromium webview is fully degoogled, iirc. Something about too many apps breaking.
