Smelled funny from very early on. I wonder if now all those creators on the bambu payrole will pretend like nothing happened. Channels like CNC kitchen or Tom Sanladerer come to mind. But also 99% of all other channels, bambu seems to be sponsoring a shitton of channels. At least Jeff spoke out immediately. I suspect most will keep quiet.
Tuxguitar is very good, IMO, like old guitarpro used to be (4/5 versions). It supports those formats directly.
Other than that, there is ardour, though I am more used to reaper, which is not OSS.
Wait, but Mythos is the revolution in the software security world, it found 0-days in all popular OS’s, including FreeBSD. I’m sure it would have found critical bugs in their own code! /s
Oh, definitely I’m not saying people should just jump the gun and replace their distro for one without systemd immediately. I certainly won’t, at least not without thinking about it for a while. But I also think that denying the controversy exists is not good. This is definitely controversial, for some people even a deal breaker and there are valid, real reasons why. For the rest, it’s good to look at what options there are, see that there really isn’t an appropriate alternative for systemd in some cases and realizing that a successful fork would be a good thing. Also, a long time criticism of the community has been that systemd does too much and it being against basic Unix philosophy. I always thought of it not being a big deal, given its modularity. But I now realize that it centralizes control and design decisions to a single org and that is certainly a weak point IMO. So a fork makes a lot of sense, but it is at this point a mammoth of the project, so it will be really hard to maintain.
Yes, but what’s wrong with this? If you gather engineers that are capable to maintain it - what is the downside? Systemd could always have used a bit of competition, I think most of us can agree. Most of the forks of systemd will fail, but most of all projects fail after some time. I don’t think this situation will harm systemd ultimately and it shouldn’t.
I agree with all that you’ve said. But why add it now? Why haven’t they added it a long time ago? Or if now they remembered, why not other extra optional fields that some people might want, like gender, sex, any other field? Oh, it would be too political? I see…
So, can we then accelerate this? Make like an openclaw agent that just wastes tokens on free accounts? Or is it not possible on free accounts? I don’t know, I’ve never wanted to touch openclaw before.
Edit: according to openclaw doc, only groq (not to be confused with grok) offers a free tier API usage. So very limited chance of this working.
Wow, some good news on Lemmy? Sign me up!
Yeah, im in a similar situation. Curve doesn’t work in my country and banks don’t have their own solution. And google pay won’t work on my grapheneos pixel.
At least the last one won’t happen, as banks would have to be on board. And banks are not on your side with this one.
It would affect a lot of users, then it will indirectly affect you too, as a lot of devs won’t be as interested in maintaining their apps for so few users. But I hope it will at least give a bit of a push to developing postmarket os. I personally am sure going to get a second hand phone to install postmarketos too and hope I can contribute at least a little bit. I am prepared to suffer, at least a little bit for the right cause.

Calm down dude, not everyone expressing an opinion is automatically a pedo. I also get enraged to a thought of a child getting hurt, but don’t lose your brain. Like you could have argued that the doll is not where a pedo would stop, it would encourage him to move on, or that a doll like that existing is normalizing pedophilia, but instead you raged out. Censoring exchange of opinion does the opposite of preventing pedophilia. Instead, I’d be interested in a study that would explore whether having dolls/cartoons etc would do anything to decrease the number of child molestation in any meaningful way. If not - I’m on board for banning stuff like this. This argument against banning dolls, though not being particularly strong, does express some logic. Your comment actually does more harm than good by jumping the gun so hard, IMO.
There is an extension for Firefox for blocking shorts. You lose the shorts button and any short you access through a link is converted into a regular, full size video.
No, I agree, I guess my point was - I thought I wouldn’t have to as much, which I guess most people think when buying a robot vacuum or any other robot. Hence the reaction of many people when they see a new robot is - we’re cooked. Yes, in terms of sheer manual, automatable labour, we may be. But not for anything requiring some intelligence. The surprising thing is - turns out a lot of things can be automated and thus useful.
I have one of those lidar xiaomi robot vacuums with a mop. It would frequently jam and I would have to make sure to not leave chairs and stuff lying around to be able to make it run. But then new, creative ways of jamming would pop up every now and then. I HATED adapting my house for a stupid robot and used it less and less. When my daughter was born it was all over - forget about it, toys everywhere, I prefer having a dusty house.
Well, there’s hydrogen, but that has its own downsides. Like it’s a bit explody, for example.
No one is arguing that Bambu has the right to keep their sources closed. That is NOBODY’s argument. Instead, you’ve not addressed the main argument and the point stated by Jeff - they threatened the open source developer with lawsuit and asked him to remove the code. The code doesn’t violate anyting. At the same time, THEY based their whole product on opensource software. That makes them hypocrites and shitty people. That’s the argument. Your post is long and doesn’t address it at all.
But let me also push back on some of the things you said.
So does Prusa. And Creality. And many others. They were all open source. They are now being very cautious about what they publish. It may not be Bambu’s fault, but they certainly started the trend. It looks a lot like the ol’ microsoft eee tactics again.
They are also non-standard and not accessible to others to make and thus - the only guarantee they will stay cheap is their good word. Which is not worth much IMO. Cause I don’t think they will allow competition to make the replacements without licenses.
To customize it for your needs? What if you have no internet access on your print farm for a day and you require Bambu cloud services to work to be able to manage it? What if when you bought the printer, you could use it in LAN mode, but now after an update, you no longer can? Is it your fault still? This really happened already.
Fair point. But they did change the terms of usage after the sale once before. They’re gonna do it again. This alone makes them shitty and unfit for a new printer purchase for me.
I hope most people will. But again, this wasn’t the original argument. Though even without the original argument, there are still reasons not to buy Bambu.
