Yup. MS has been more blatant and ruthless, where Apple has quietly taken (or even just taken credit for) the works of others over the years. For Apple you’ve got the ipod click wheel (creative), the original GUI (PARC), slide to unlock (noenode)… Apple, much like MS, has been doing this sort of stuff from the start.
If the individual is the only one in charge of the project, and controls the money, there really isnt a difference.
TIL - thats neat! I use the phrase all the time, so did my dad. His dad was the first generation born in the US, somewhere from southern Ireland (not much in the way of paperwork to track before that).
I’m glad my decades old grudges against apple could be informative!
Ehhh… Apple took over CUPS development.
Michael Sweet of Easy Software Products developed CUPS in the late 90s. Apple hired Michel Sweet about a decade later and bought the source code.
After he left apple (another 10 years or so later), OpenPrinting forked it and Michael Sweet continued working on it there.
But no, Apple did not develop CUPS. I don’t blame you for thinking they did though.
Edit: Forgot to note.
Source: I’m fucking old now and was using Linux before CUPS existed. Holy shit was it great once it went IPP from LPD.
Edit 2: Sorry because Apple does this a lot and this one still annoys me - Safari was built on KHTML, aka KDE and Konqueror. So anyone trying to say that Apple made WebKit all in house would also be wrong.
Apple likes to do that. Take stuff and then pretend they made it. Especially from open source projects.
Ladybird started as a SerenityOS browser, and is now being made standalone.
Same (problematic) developer.
It wasn’t for Ladybird. It was for SerenityOS.
The irony youre laughing about isnt there.
Yeah.
It can get real ugly in tech sometimes, and I really hate seeing it.
For a long time I considered tech the more inviting and accepting bunch, but that has definitely changed over time. There’s some real gross stuff out there.
Good idea, already covered with a modified lenovo tiny though
Might do a “portable” version though!

Lets combine that with the contributing.md here as a response to “Your docs could be written better, I can do that”, and how he stands with DHH (note Lunduke there btw), which was a response to DHH+Ruby…
Well it kind of paints a picture. A very specific one, imo.
Lunduke, the video of the post, is also a pretty notably tech right wing, which is why I mention to note that earlier.
I will say, I think Kling hides it better than DHH, same with Vaxry, but… yeah its pretty small and specific circles that seem to gather.
No worries, like I was saying its just how it reads, I’m not offended in the slightest
As someone who has been online since the late 80’s (BBS) and early 90’s (internet), I’m well aware of how things can be amplified.
However, this does not require in-depth review. These are things you can discover with a cursory search that would have taken less time than writing that comment, FYI. I don’t think anyone is sitting here suggesting Kling has grand plans for a gassing center, just that he promotes far right conspiracy theories and other hard-right ideology. This is a simple, easily verifiable statement.
i will stay with a neutral “oookay….”
Just so you know, this can come across condescending. I’m not going to say that was your intention, but that is absolutely how it would be read.
Kling has promoted the nonsense white replacement conspiracy theory, whined about “leftist activists”.
The answer is because just a tiny bit of looking at kling - just like with DHH - will reveal so much more far-right attitude and behavior beyond kling rejecting an offer to fix the poorly written documentation.
So just for the record, I think this works quite nicely. Using foliate as the ebook reader, mx linux on the stick, its pretty responsive. I think I can trim it down further (maybe I’ll go full custom build if I have the time), but its pretty good to go right now.
One thing I was thinking about doing, since its OPDS friendly, is setting up a custom catalog to be available publicly that it can access, for ease of adding new books. I’m also going to grab and load a bunch locally, I have some on my library server right now, but I’ll probably focus and expand the collection a bit for this.
Maybe something with sections for economics, the environment, anti-imperialism, social progressivism, etc.
I also really like the idea of incorporating some of the piefed rational discourse kit (maybe including some videos in a different section, or links to a wiki? Not sure yet.).
Well that part it looks like will be a project unto itself, but either way - the anti-fascist proselytizer stick has a start!
I wonder if they could serve as a travel streaming stick 🤔
Good question… They really aren’t bad at all when it comes to simple video playback… Worth trying on one of them at least!
Retro gaming I think is going to be good for one, cluster-wise I’d be better off with the old pi 3bs I have… somewhere… I think in with the microcontroller bin (amidst of a pile of esp32s).
I’ve got a USB gamepad I picked up when radio shack was closing its stores, I think thats with the old consoles though (everything going back to n64, my NES, Genesis, and PS1 are long gone unfortunately), which is at my BIL’s house as he is playing my old Wii and PS2. Which is now making me want to take the of Xbox shell and shove a PC in there for the living room, a good excuse to upgrade the living room PC… But a whole new project at the same time lol
Its quite snappy on there! I think I’m going to theme it up and start building the library tonight
Here you go, one still has windows on it:
Ooh, MX grabbed it off the bat too:
You are thinking of the predecessor (2015), the 2016 model (while only rated for 1080p playback) is hdmi 1.4b and supports up to uhd30.
I want to caveat with I have not used any of this. This is just a link I sent to my FIL so he could find something to fit his needs, maybe it will help you too.
