Comments are understandably negative as the press release has very little information, but I clicked vouch because I have a reason to believe it is legitimate
I'm sure it's still out there, but I don't seem to notice as much prevalence of dedicated research trivia as I used to, like Damn Interesting, or Cracked. Lots of the articles would be some niche question that wasn't just a google away and it was obvious that it took effort and time at a library to write.
The closest thing that comes to mind now is Asianometry's youtube channel and mailing list.
I found it amusing that the license PDF does not use the font. (At least, the slashed 0 in the license pdf is not the backslashed 0 on the font web page.)
You misunderstood my comment; we probably agree. If something isn't open source, it shouldn't be labeled as open source.
I'm saying that there ought to be a more descriptive term for this license to differentiate from the usual proprietary "source available" licenses. ezekg's comment gives an appropriately descriptive label, "Fair Source".
Thanks. My initial reaction upon reading the submitted title was dismissive because I dislike when companies mimic the prestige of open source by saying "source available" while having a practically proprietary license.
This is the first time I've seen FSL and it is quite nice. Surely "source available" is the wrong term to label the license with.
Kagi says that it does not link private information and searches. I'm really struggling to see how that's possible when you need to log in to search. Magic?
The anonymous payment options are cumbersome. Why not do something like Mullvad with scratch-off vouchers sold on Amazon?
Windows and its ecosystem have already become a telemetry monster; if you're fine with everything else, you ought to be fine with this. The linked Intel support page shows the simple instructions for opting out of the telemetry.
Having said that, 2022 was already the year of the Linux desktop. Everything works. KDE gets better every week. Be the owner of your technology. Join us!
The article is disappointingly short, but at least for me, the title is true; at long last, 2022 was finally the Year of the Linux Desktop. May the YotLD meme live on in spirit.
I finally switched my desktop and laptops 100% to Linux. Some games don't run - fine - plenty of other games do. Ableton runs well in Wine, but Bitwig is native, and yabridge runs VSTs. MuseScore was saved. KDE is pleasant and productive. Blender is amazing. Pipewire is audio done right. Electron, despite its problems, makes Linux a build target of ordinary apps. Flatpak and AppImage enable simple cross-linux-distro app distribution. Critical mass achieved.
No desktop is perfect, but at least for people with a nominal, base level of experience, Linux is the least bad.
Looking to the future, I hope the Desktop Linux experience improves with respect to memory exhaustion, and I hope a Patreon-like platform gains prominence to enable easily donating to keep projects alive; it's currently cumbersome to find all the different places to donate.
With great gratitude to every free software and open source contributor, happy end of 2022!
I appreciate that you are trying to be helpful, but you might be over-evangelizing trendy things at the risk of appearing patronizing; exa is a thing like the latest trendy grep alternative, and the point of my original comment still stands.
No need to have a rosetta stone of alternatives to demonstrate an illustrative example where the basic tool that everybody already knows and understands at a glance works.
I'm not saying that exa, or fish, or ripgrep, or any other trendy tool is bad.
The idea for your site is great. A quick suggestion: if you want everyone to immediately understand and sympathize with your cause, then use the tools that everyone knows in your examples. Using some long exa incantation risks alienating people that don't care about things like the latest trendy grep alternative. Just use: `ls -d .*` or `ls -a`
