Oh then it must be because of the MIT license!

The science_memes crosspoint has some interesting comments about the effectiveness

Idk what character or even what show.

I’m just making it clear that you don’t have any actual criticisms of this application and haven’t addressed it when people point out that:

• It’s fully offline (so your “services” claim is false)
• It’s GPLv3 licensed (so we can audit and verify what it’s doing)
• This is an opt-in accessibility feature (so it’s not being “pushed” on anyone)

You’re welcome to remain belligerent. I’m not here to change your mind.

That response, especially given that this is something that’s entirely offline and optional, is probably the closest we’re going to get to you admitting that you just want to be negative about this rather than actually having a criticism of it.

What do you think are the ulterior motives behind this GPLv3 licensed app? I think the ulterior motive is getting better accessibility tools so it’s easier to convince governments to use Ubuntu (and likely pay for extended support).

Plasma 6.4? But I’m already on plasma 6.7!

(C’mon there has to be ONE person complaining about SOMETHING, right? This is after all the Internet.)

I don’t think their argument is valid, but a tool that would scan the repository is very different from an endpoint tool that sits in the kernel.

No more than a debugger.

I remember when people were shitting on Ubuntu for suggesting something very similar.

I have to move very large (5 GB or larger) files around over the internet quite often. I am thankful to the 99% of people who are buying gigabit broadband despite absolutely not needing it for making it cheap and convenient for me.

These days though you can just breakpoint()

GPU VRAM is so scarce and precious.

That really depends. I have plenty of times when my GPU’s memory is sitting there mostly unused, because I need less than a gig for my desktop, but I have 16 gigs of it for gaming. Those times also correlate with when I really want more general RAM because I’m building some large rust projects with LTO. So this is a great way to put that extra hardware to use. I can always turn off that swap later when I want to play a game.

And, critically distinct from the AGPL, they wouldn’t have to open source their full service — just the changes to the library.

The thing is this isn’t a single spectrum. The requirement the AGPL adds to the GPL could be applied to the LGPL without including the requirements added by the GPL.

To take the video game analogy, it’s more like asking why you can’t set the brightness above 50% if the graphics quality is set to ultra.

The answer here is that the FSF likely doesn’t see the utility in such a license.

They have been trying to work with the Flatpak people to make it a standard everyone could share. After half a decade of frustration I think they just gave up and decided to do it themselves.

Any that run GNU+Linux?

I’m not the person you replied to, but I would love to have more ARM hardware for running tests on. A lot of what I write needs to be separately tested on each architecture.
