Not just software. Hardware too. Open up all the things! I want a full schematic printed on the back of my refrigerator again.

Technically all the hardware (but microcontrollers) is open, as long as you have a screwdriver

Tell this to any 3rd party Apple repair store.

Nice meme, but

you must share it everywhere you can

I'm not too familiar with the ITS, but hearing the monumental work done during the 1960s and 70s surrounding operating systems is something I can't fathom.

He really stands for so much in the philosophy surrounding FOSS... Ironically, if it weren't for the Ted Talk on YouTube that I watched from him a year ago, I wouldn't have known about his existence.

Hope he recovers, it's different to see him without his signature long hair and beard :(

He doesn't do himself any favors. He truly ruined his legacy with his options. His software vision was always an uphill battle and he fell short of being a good leader. His strong stances have their place but it's easy to dismiss them because he's a crackpot.

That speech transcription absorbed me, I ended up reading it all. I consider that I have even learned things from it.

[-] Jumuta@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Same, I've now read 1/2 of it and want to continue but I have to go to sleep haha
