…while many of the #NLRB's records are eventually made public, the NxGen case management system hosts #proprietary #data from #corporate competitors, personal information about #union members or employees voting to join a union, & #witness testimony in ongoing cases. Access to that data is protected by numerous federal #laws, including the #Privacy Act.

There is an alternative for all things #Microsoft, it is called #Linux!
With the Linux #commandline nobody needs #proprietary AI
You do not need Amirican tech!
@ozone89 @foone oftentimes companies just come up with #proprietary connectors to shaft their clients, like #PoweredUSB doing 12V & 24V...
This is a true story. I don't even know why I chose the proprietary drivers on this laptop, I don't game on this device or anything, nor does it even have a dGPU (which is generally the only reason to do so imho).
Luckily installing and setting up Linux is done quickly.
Just to be clear: If #Google decides it’s okay to no longer send non-Gmail users the ACTUAL #email, but only a LINK to some bullshit #proprietary service that you must click to “unlock” the TRUE contents, then Gmail ceases to be an email provider but is merely a spam service which bullies unsuspecting users into using their proprietary crap.
While this seems to be limited to (fake) E2E for now, I’m afraid it could get worse if people do not resist.
I know why I don’t use #Gmail.
@thelinuxexperiment 19:00 about that developers or publishers could just #opensource ancient games for the community, they dont usually tend to do that because of other #proprietary libraries, and stuff that they used to make the #game
Sure, they could just run through the source code - if it even still exists - and remove not theirs stuff, but that would require knowledge of all not theirs proprietary elements, or ability to start their old developement environments or other game engines, that are the only sensible way of accessing scripts/logic stored in obscure binary formats.
But yes, they should at least try to check if the source code is still on theirs discs, ask their lawyers if they can do that, and what has to be stripped, and maybe hire one intern to do all that work, to get hang of using computer, and tools they have used.
I havn't thought that a new idea can make me feel like in times I was young and hard working to geht my projects successful up and running.
The idea of a #datacenter for #foss #projects plus #people and #sme businesses using #opensouce #software dors not geht out of my head.
No #proprietary #software allowed, all management tools Foss.
Financed without any depencies on big tech, huge commercial enterprises, or problematic investors.

@simendsjo @jackdaniel #XMPP has all those features, and there's a fairly big #Lisp / #Scheme / #CommonLisp channel there - https://xmpp.link/#lisp@conference.a3.pm?join
It might not have everything that #Discord does, but it's vastly better than #IRC. And there's a cost to using #proprietary and #centralized services, which people constantly forget about in chasing convenience and shiny features.
Here's a guide to help you get started.

The Enterprise Edition and cloud services contain #proprietary #features, such as advanced security options, professional support, clustering, and other enterprise-level tools.
Some integrations and connectors are also released under #commercial #licenses.
