Noone was technically allowed to use it

There is your answer. draw.io can be used by everyone and for almost every purpose, so the situations aren’t even remotely the same.

a docker

Something tells me you don’t really know Docker

syncthing also relies on a web server for device discovery, it’s just that you’re probably using someone else’s server instead of hosting your own.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I also think that Vaultwarden itself doesn’t have access to the unencrypted password database. In that sense it’s E2EE similar to KeePass, the only difference being that KeePass is a desktop app and Vaultwarden a web app.

Nothing, this is not about that.

This change gives you the guarantee that .internal domains will never be registered officially, so you can use them without the risk of your stuff breaking should ICANN ever decide to make whatever TLD you’re using an official TLD.

That scenario has happened in the past, for example for users of FR!TZBox routers which use fritz.box. .box became available for purchase and someone bought fritz.box, which broke browser UIs. This could’ve even been used maliciously, but thankfully it wasn’t.

Being in alpha and having breaking changes is fine, the question is how many. My impression is that Immich seems to introduce breaking changes far more frequently than what people might be used to from other projects.

And that does go back to professionalism: The better you plan ahead, the fewer breaking changes you have to impose on your users.

Minio now describes itself as “S3 & Kubernetes Native Object Storage for AI” - lol

Guess it’s time to look for alternatives if you’re not doing ML stuff

currently being tested

They’ve been “testing” it for more than a decade at this point and even if Russia is able to actually bring the T-14 into service, they won’t be able to produce any significant number of them for the same reason their tank corps isn’t using many T-90M right now.

pure garbage

Go look up Operation Desert Storm and rethink what you wrote there.

If there’s anything here that’s garbage, it’s your notions about tank design.

more manoeuvrable

Ah yes, there’s nothing quite like a 4 km/h reverse speed. That’s a really tangible factor making the T-72 a better tank.

Who cares? They’re just pedestrians, it’s not like they’re honest car-driving citizens

With LibreWolf you also have to trust

I wouldn’t call criticism of their strategic focus “shitting on” Nextcloud. It obviously still does a lot of things right or at least right enough to be useful and relevant to many people, or else we wouldn’t be discussing it. But it has its issues and many of them have been unadressed for a long time, so why shouldn’t people voice their displeasure with that?

Sounds like a “no true Scotsman” argument tbh

+1 for restic. I’ve been using it for four years now and have never encountered an issue, including during my yearly restore practice run.

As far as B2 bucket encryption is concerned, I wouldn’t trust it as far as I can throw it. Quite honestly, it could just be a fancy checkbox on their website without any actual encryption, and we wouldn’t be able to tell. Either way, a compromise of Backblaze would put your data at risk.

The link doesn’t explain what Taler is, you then also have to click through to the home page. How hard can it be to add literally a single sentence like

Taler is a payment system that makes privacy-friendly online transactions fast and easy.

Giving some real 1984 vibes

Freedom is Slavery

Ignorance is Strength

There are quite a few mature projects in 0.x that would cause a LOT of pain if they actually applied semver

Depending on how one defines the “initial development” phase, those projects are actually conforming to semver spec:

Major version zero (0.y.z) is for initial development. Anything MAY change at any time. The public API SHOULD NOT be considered stable.

After looking at the site and trying to determine what to download to get Debian with non-free (I’m unfortunately working with an NVIDIA card)

FWIW, Debian 12 now includes non-free firmware in the installation media by default and will install whatever is necessary.

I agree that the Debian website has its weaknesses, but beyond finding the right installer (usually netinst ISO a.k.a small installation image on https://www.debian.org/distrib/) there isn’t much of a learning curve. I started out with Ubuntu too, but finally decided that enough was enough when snap started breaking my stuff on desktop.

True, but in this case it might be a good option until the corresponding Fossify app is available.

I’m not arguing about the fines themselves, those can indeed be scaled by revenue. I also agree that many fines should be higher to prevent companies from merely seeing them as an operating cost.

However, my point is that company revenue can’t be used 1:1 to pay off fines. That doesn’t take into account that revenue also has to cover all other operating expenses and taxes. As an example, the article states that Meta would take roughly 5½ days to pay off its fines, but taking the 23.42% profit margin into account a more realistic answer is 23½ days.

Revenue is the wrong metric for this type of comparison. Last I heard even big tech didn’t have a profit margin of 100%.
