A lot of larger foss projects do open up a foundation or another legal entity. Mostly due to regulations or dealing with donations. But it’s hard to call them enterprises


Open source should be funded by the tax-payers, or all code should be forcibly open-source (something like AGPL)
Any other models feels like they would create perverse incentives
Also recurring donations feels like a better way than one-time tips


Considering that Quest is sold at a loss and tries to make money forcing you to buy games, I don’t think it’s likely
What do you see as “general” topics? And why wouldn’t tech talks be a part of it?


If you design a product to be intentionally difficult to repair, using subpar parts, is it not planned obsolescence? I really don’t get what you are about there. Unless you require some sort of an internal clock to force brick the device to be considered planned?
Everything else is correct and I agree.


What it reeks of is Nintendo wanting to make things cheap and sell you multiple of them
That’s the “apple like” planned obsolesence part I was refering to. Think about airpods for example.
The teardown doesn’t touch on part serialization, although the ability to brick your device if they “feel like it” is on PAR with Apple.
Although I’m not sure we should be arguing about which of the two is shittier when both are already deep in non compliance of “modern right to repair regulations (lmao)”


The switch 2 gives out complete apple vibes. It’s repairability is pretty horrid after watching the teardown guide.
Controllers will fail sooner or later and will have to be replaced. Here it will end up replacing the whole stick just due to glueing small parts of the controller.
Battery will also fail sooner than later. The whole thing yells planned absolesence…


You can sell GPL software, even without any changes. The less permission part would be “You want to close-source it and not contribute back? Go ahead!”


Why do you say so?
I doubt, Russia has trouble producing simple items like butter for internal use, not to mention exports. Pretty sure that they will grow basically no grain if they win.
Are those “european cowards” in a room here with us?
Most of people here I know is just hoping that at least half of our military spending would go straight to Ukraine. The support must flow.


Russia is losing it’s grip in more and more places it seems


Did the CIA used mind control for the Russians to invade? Hard to see how the US could have started the proxy war.


They are developing them tho. Also they got their long range drones, that already managed to explode russian oil. So it’s not a realm of possibilities.
Also it has never been considered a proxy war. It’s literal Russian propaganda punch line, my dude. Find better sources than RT


Oh boy, I’ve heard this one. Gloves are taken off, eyebrows are being raised, amirite? xD


Four months more for Ukraine to ramp up production for their own long-range missiles.
If it’s sticking to a magnet, it will work. Cast iron works. Induction is great, i’ll never go back to gas!
