The Devuan guys are also maintaining a bunch of the non systemd packages in Debian.

And Debian says they’re fine having non systemd but any work needed to make openrc etc viable falls on the these guys.

Taxes are paid through an extra registration fee. Cost saving comes from lower running costs.

Here’s direct link to pre launch page: https://www.crowdsupply.com/milkv/milk-v-pioneer

Specs are easier to read than article and there’s links to source code

Looks like Coreboot support for 5000 series landed recently: https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMD-Open-Source-FW-2023

Firmware updates for the BIOS, Embedded Controller and SSD are just a click away with the power of the LVFS.

Pretty awesome to see this become more common.

Interesting…

How will I make a return on my investment, and when?

Under the terms of our Series B, our (pre-money) valuation is $585M. If we have a successful exit in the future (like an IPO, merger, or acquisition) for more than that amount, you’ll see a return on your investment. Since we’re selling the same class of stock we sold to venture capitalists in our Series B, you’ll get paid out at the same time that they do.

The article sounds like it’s beating the drum for a co-op, but it’s actually a quasi stock offering that only pays out on exit.

You’ll find people frustrated with Prusa too. There was a whole discord dedicated to trying to fix all issues.

People act like having the power supply die, bed probe not being reliable, not having x axis tensioner are all normal. Just print out a bunch of parts from some randoms to fix.

Also Prusas software are forks too so weird thing to call out bambu for.

It’s a mismatch between OSM’s address format and the normal address format.

Osmand does basic string matching for search so it only finds exact matches. You search for 108 1st st Portland, OSM has 108 1st street Portland, Osmand finds nothing.

You’re looking for wine https://www.winehq.org/. Proton is built on top of wine.

Some context I found: https://library.oregonstate.edu/osu-psu-and-uo-libraries-ini...

>To this end, all three institutions would like to reduce our spend with Elsevier by half of the current amounts paid by each institution. We are interested in obtaining a concession that would allow articles published by authors at each institution to be converted from closed to open access. We will be asking Elsevier to remove any limitations on inter-library lending (ILL). We will seek concessions that ensure end-users’ identifiable account information is not utilized inappropriately, and we will seek removal of any language that does not allow us to openly disclose the contract we have negotiated.

Almost everything is manual unless an import for an area is happening. Imports require a bunch of documentation and notifications before the data gets pulled in. The data is typically for building and addresses from the government.

Adding together OSM’s rules are stacked against imports, the vocal anti import contingent and specialized software knowledge needed means that few imports happen.

I’m sure what you’re saying happens. There’s 1000s of packages with maintainers of varying skill.

That said the track record speaks for itself. I can only remember one time a maintainer introduced a vuln in Debian. The system works even though you’ll find cracks if you look.

Generally, distros supply security updates. For example, Debian picks a version for a release and makes sure it has security updates for the entire release. Sometimes this requires backporting patches because the version is no longer supported upstream. This means an app can be shipped that will work for the life of the release without changes, while staying secure.

Addresses in OSM are in expanded format eg 100 south 35th street. What you’re entering is likely 100 s 35th st. Osmand looks for exact string matches so it won’t find the address.

For maps, You should add Organic maps. People tend to like the UI more than OsmAnd.

Personally, I use OsmAnd with custom map files for better address coverage: https://github.com/pnoll1/osmand_map_creation.

FYI startpage got bought by an ad tech company.

First thing I get is 2 pop ups. An ad for the app at the top and a second covering the page in Czech.

All the comments are positive for an ad riddled czech maps site?

Use better map files. https://github.com/pnoll1/osmand_map_creation
