Imagine being this ignorant. They chose to fork only office because it’s web based and AGPL.
The original only office team refuses to allow community contributions and tries to stop people from forking it with a stupid (against the terms and spirit of the AGPL) poison pill.
Eurooffice are the good people here.
I mean if that’s your standard you need to drop quite a bit more.

Avif is an open source, royalty free, better format administrated by a non profit.
Companies (including Netflix) should be encouraged to contribute to the community under such standards.
Open source, royalty free, better formats, administrated by a non profit Is the goal.
You got to at least like avif. Both in lossless and lossy mode it’s better than the formats from the 90s. It’s community run, patent free, faster, higher quality, and well supported.
Look at the Jellyfin one. Why is there something breaking the logo from the right? Lots of little things.
Fair. It’s not just that one though. I notice a lot of weird things there.
Why post this ai generated content? Since when does the docker logo have the Cassandra eye in it?
For property software you would be right. Yah.
But it’s open source AGPL stuff. Full time devs improving AGPL code is good even with pointy haired managers.
This all being said I don’t think even the managers aim to become more evil and more terrible as their goal.
I agree that taiga shouldn’t feature Haliburton.
This all bearing said do you really think the people working on Taiga seek to be more evil and more terrible?
I mean, technically they could have hyper agile teams that use taiga there?
When they say agile they don’t mean that the company is flexible and adjusts to new situations quickly.
They mean that those companies are some of the most proficient in Agile software development methodology.
To be fair I see how people can get them confused. But in the context of work tracking they clearly mean the latter. They even use the capital “A” in “Agile”.

Idk. I think using ai to learn Linux as you switch to it is fair ground. In the end they’re free from Microsoft. It’s a win. Just make sure they have data backups.
Yah. And a CPU to match. Either Epic or Xeon.
Yes but you’ll need special hardware. Enterprise systems use registered “RDIMM” modules that won’t work in consumer systems. Even if your system supports ECC that is just UDIMM aka consumer grade with error correction.
This all being said I would bet you could find some cheap Epic or Xeon chips + an appropriate board if/when they crash comes.
I don’t think it matters.
They are certainly a member of the community.
Choosing MIT over GPL is a political decision that empowers corporations at the expense of the community.
Yah companies can (and sometimes do) choose to give back to the community with MIT projects.
GPL/AGPL/LGPL/MPL 2.0 ensure that they do give back when they take.
I just don’t trust companies enough to use MIT.
Companies are allowed to participate in the community. They are wallowed to use community code. Companies donating servers and resources is actually a good thing. This includes Valve. The “greediness” you talk about isn’t a factor.
Also factually none of those projects you listed were started by IBM. Half of them were started by GNU foundation. The other half were started by Redhat before it was acquired by IBM.
The way Redhat made money was by taking community code and packaging it with support guarantees for other companies. Redhat took that money and hired people to further improve that community code they were packaging. I was at Redhat at the time.
Regarding freeBSD you are forgetting the literal largest user of BSD in the world. Netflix voluntarily gives back code to the community but they aren’t forced to.
Sony is the largest user of FreeBSD in the world. They take the code. Use it improve it and give nothing back. From the PS3 forward all of their devices are based on FreeBSD.
Microsoft also is a large user of FreeBSD in a way. When they couldn’t add a proper networking stack to Windows without everything crashing all the time they’re turned to FreeBSD. Microsoft ripped out the networking code and glued it into Windows 2000. From there we got XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, and now 11. All with community code taken and used to fight community coded operating systems.
I guess it all comes down to how you see companies. If you believe that companies will always act in the interest of the community even at the expense of competitiveness I can see how one might see MIT or BSD licenses as adequate.
GPL, LGPL, and MPL on the other hand force companies to give back when they take.
I don’t trust companies enough to use MIT. I choose GPL, LGPL, and MPL.
If a company intended to give back to the community there is no reason why they would not use GPL, LGPL, or MPL. They intend to tie back anyways. Right? MIT just lets them keep their taking but not giving options open.
I know I do.
GPL forces mega corps to give back when they use community code.
MIT just lets companies take community code without giving anything back.
GPL code is code for the community by the community. Meta crops can use the code too but they have to give back.
Choosing MIT over GPL, LGPL, or MPL (all community oriented) in my book is pretty close to corporate bootlicking.
It might be my lemmy client but when I go to that link I just see a basic steam next fest post with a Linux picking section from a different user.
What am I missing?
If you don’t mind me asking, why did you choose Zorin? How do you hear about Zorin?
That’s not actually true. Technology connections made a few videos about it.

The broadcasting Beta format was basically a whole different format compared to that you could get at home. Completely unrelated.

lol. Do you think this for real?
