You can install actually something called Mainline kernels. Which is a simple GUI app. That works also very well under Mint. Allowing you to install even newer kernels.

most important patch since 1995.

Current version is actually still MIT: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2#license (which is the most preferred license for a low-level library like this)

Switching the license to GPL (ideally GLPv3 or compatible, although IMO we are due for a GPLv4) is a pretty good outcome, hopefully it works.

Actually that means that no company will use it anymore. Since if you have low-level library like that under GPL, then all the source code need to be GPL compatible as well. And 99% of the source code that is build on top of libxml2 is most likely not GPL / no GPL compatible.

Also he was getting every week cve issues, which are often not urgent issues. Yet it costs him a lot of time. He also considers security issues now just the same as a normal issue. Not giving it priority anymore, since that doesn’t make sense anymore for him.

Another maintainer already jumped in and he is now maintaining it. The original author forked it actually his own project, and is planning to release it under gpl license (instead of MIT), basically making it open source in a sense I can’tbe used by big tech. Since that was his point, large software projects and companies relied on his work. Yet nobody is paying him.

Thanks! Also I’m always disabling anti alias in my terminal and editor console text, see: https://gitlab.melroy.org/melroy/dotfiles/-/blob/main/home/melroy/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf?ref_type=heads (I’m using mono fonts)

I never had a device that needed firewire (luckily?). I always found it a strange standard and connector.

Luckily today we just have usb c, specifically usb 3.2 gen 2. Which is the default for some time now. Another benefit is it will often also come with power delivery as well, something that firewire doesn’t support at all.

And for audio I always use optical audio cables. Also known as S/PDIF.

Well and Linus wasn’t lying about it. He is the person who ironically knows least about the whole Linux ecosystem which we have today…

At this point I think he’s not even aware of Valve Steam Machine. Not following the news on distros. Not following any discussions. Not into gaming. Not into memes. Not into anything, other than compiling the kernel.

Now you’re taking bs. It was a real interview

I was really surprised surprised that Linus Torvalds didn’t knew about arch btw as well as Linux ISO meme.

I mean, come on. Linus is really only checking his emails.

Its about time they move to Linux.

You can also look to alternatives, like WineGUI

I wish github provides a better way to ask for money and to pay out bug bounties … (no I’m not talking about sponsorships)

Weird. I’m the owner of the melroy.org domain (and also the admin of the mbin instance on kbin.melroy.org) and it should just have a valid ssl certificate.

Something sent a TCP reset package that resets the connect and abort. But why…? And how?

Yousstill have it? Also in other browsers or a private tab?

Lol even this message get down voted. People, come on. Let’s have some more love in the world!

Free and non-free code is more about a economic system and maybe a legal system.

But I don’t think it has anything to do with the political system.

Ow lol even a message with more love into world get down votes.

I know. I will get down voted for this soo much.

It’s just the world needs more love. Less anger.

I just rather want to have open-source software separate from politics if you don’t mind.

EDIT: And before people saying I’m a nazi or something… I’m not.
