Programs are mathematical proofs. If maths cannot be patented, software can’t be, either.

Also, I doubt that Google wanted to destroy XMPP. They simply needed a chat then noticed it’s crap for mobile devices. They wanted to offer their users seemless migration to the new proprietary protocol.
I was sad that Google stopped to use an official standard, but there are many better free options left.
From a private end user point of view yes. But in enterprises Windows and Office is successful. Lots of money is going to Microsoft here.
It's easy not to talk or not to read content from other people. Why is age relevant here? It does as much as sense to me as to have an option to block other genders, religions or even skin colors.
I don't feel uncomfortable talking to kids. Why should I start to be?
Kids and juveniles can learn a lot from adults. Conversations with adults make them smart.
I don't believe this is the right way.
Thanks for the explanation. Since KBin is more fragmented and does not build up enough steam for further development, it's maybe a better option to move to Lemmy at this point.
It makes sense to approve things and keep navigating in one direction. What was the original problem?
I like Shelly hardware. The devices default to local communication and cloud is optional. Custom firmware can also be used, but not really needed. I wished they made more kinds of IoT stuff.
Since the device state can be queried with HTTP requests, it’s easy to integrate it to my monitoring system (Prometheus/Grafana).
Most of my text files are from Unix/Linux systems, because I don’t work much on Windows. So Wordpad is more important than Notepad for me, because the latter one does not handle end-of-lines correctly.
No one says the devices are anti consumer, except for some that are intentionally made incompatible with common replacement parts (missing “apple logo”). The walled garden is.
Of course, but I can see and understand what is patched and can see if I’m affected or not. In the previous version I haven’t been affected for 500 days.
You mean when you update the kernel? No one updates init on BSDs. This is mostly a entire world upgrade. But I’d never reboot from cron. My servers run 100 days without a reboot on average. In most cases there is no reason to update world, only the packages.
Reboot? Since when does Linux need a reboot? I’ve been thinking about migrating from FreeBSD to Linux, but now I am confused.
Many popular things are crappy. It is not an ideology, unless you consider the scientists who invented the WWW to be some freaks.
Flash wasn’t really useful, because many people couldn’t display these websites. It was the exact opposite of WWW. WWW enabled people to use hypertext and provided accessibility.
Adobe has already proved they don’t understand web technologies when creating Flash.
Any features that are mentionable? I don’t use spaces on Matrix.
As someone who has used Matrix since the beginning and have never seen Discord. What am I missing?
I use LaTeX. I needed to learn a lot about it to use it, but it’s the only thing that can set letters, paragraphs and book structure properly.
That’s why it’s also called Curry-Howard isomorphism.
