Free software movement focuses on freedom, but not friendly to the commercial world.

Open source movement emerged from free software movement. It replaced freedom with software development methodology. It is absolutely friendly to the commercial world.

Open core is the natural next direction of open source. It is friendly to the commercial world, but it is also friendly to the pocket of the developers.

Next, returning to 100% proprietary software as a way of life.

Edit: I am not against proprietary software. I am using Excel daily.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

hmm really interested in this. One of my stop gaps from going Linux (except laziness) was apps that needed for work which used since win7 or earlier. I was considering to stick to win10 and leave for Linux but this news give me more hope for easier switch to Linux.
(gaming is second reason to not switch from win10 but will do with what can to work)

I must say, that was the smoothest Debian version upgrade I've ever done. I updated my own personal workstation from Debian 12 to the new Debian 13 release several days ago; 13 came out in early August, but I've been so busy.

No major issues. I run a *lot* of weird shit on my machine. I usually am down for half a day when I upgrade.

I did have to re-build LXDE. Ended up just using the one from apt for now, but I normally run my own modified one built from source.

I love Debian. It's the best.

in reply to Leah Rowe ( #39c3 โ˜Ž๏ธFORKโ˜Ž๏ธ )

minor issues so far:

* mpv: scroll wheel now changes volume, rather than skipping back/forward frames. i consider this a bug. having to switch to the window to use arrows to change scene is annoying. i will be fixing this.

* transmission-gtk completely b0rked. i switched to the qt version.

* still doesn't package librewolf, but i build that from source. no worries.

* pipewire still sucks. but everything does. it takes me longer to adapt to change.

* obconf b0rked. library issue. will fix.

in reply to Leah Rowe ( #39c3 โ˜Ž๏ธFORKโ˜Ž๏ธ )

I just realized a couple days ago that itโ€™s time to upgrade my laptop. Iโ€™m happy to hear that the process went smoothly for you, and Iโ€™m hoping for the same.

I may regret sharing this BUT we already own a number of the songs here.

The super creative folks at vole.wtf created VTV, a parody of the original MTV music video channel that plays some of the silliest novelty songs ever recorded. The player pulls random songs from YouTube to provide a unique musical experience for every viewer, with their permission, of course.

I've released version 0.3.8 of my WIP #Psion Agenda-like "Pygenda" app targeting keyboard-equipped PDAs running Linux (e.g. #GeminiPDA, #CosmoCommunicator, #PinePhone with keyboard).

The main additions this release are:
โ€ข Anniversaries โ€“ something that Psion Agenda had, but which isn't in the iCal spec.
โ€ข Calendar styles, so you can set CSS for entries depending on the entry's calendar source (see photo for example).
