I did a Hackintosh experiment the other day on my Broadwell HP laptop and the process was interesting, and it was fun trying to get it all working, but after 2 hours of using macOS Monterey I was ready to go back to Linux. The way Apple readily drops support for hardware meant I was going to be using an unsupported version of macOS and I could definitely feel it because I was unable to get some of the things I wanted to work, so I didn't keep macOS on there for long because I don't have a use case or a reason to keep it on there when I'm not even in that ecosystem.  

The experience though has made me realize how many GNOME features feel similar to or were probably directly inspired by macOS. Extensions, accent colors, how they both used to do versioning (3.xx and 10.xx), mission control and launchpad (which I think GNOME implements better), and much loosely the top bar and dash. Even some of the software about pages looked a lot like some of the ones I see in GNOME GTK3 apps.

Gitlab Act 2 includes 10 core beliefs : none of them even mentions Open Source or free software. "Agent" is mentionned 34 times. Is that a farewell from GL to the opensource community that is at the core of its inception, spirit, platform, culture and clients ?

I also wonder if they will review completely the famous GitLab handbook, since the new organization seems far from original processes and values.

#OpenSource #OpenCore #Capitalism

I'm in a the middle of an intense session of system admin for @silex little community

Since #mattermost #opencore model got in our way (less and less little this community) => I think we'll ditch it and switch everything to the forums

So I'm investing time in upgrading from an ooold docker image to latest #Flarum and making it better at onboarding, detecting spam with n8n, looking silexy, ...

I pause and.. Wow Flarum is a great platform !!!

I have just come across #FairSource https://fair.io/

It seems like it could have the potential to be a better compromise than #OpenCore when it comes to monetization of #OpenSource through a single vendor development model.

The single vendor retains the ability to generate income not only from support but also from licensing fees.

Customers get the source code, can tinker with it and deploy it how they want. But most importantly they can fork.
