I used it as my main DE a few years ago, its great! Really cool UI, completely different to all other DE's but it makes sense, and it has some cool stylings like for example virtual desktops icons being the actual desktops, just really tiny. The bugs, however, kept piling up, and it (segmentation fault)ed too often, so I had to abandon it. Last I heard, the reason it doesn't get major dev work anymore is that its really hard to work with.

Despite the market domination of Apple's iOS and the legions of Android devices out there, there are alternatives in the smartphone market...

I tried to use gnunet multiple times over the years. It always had wierd routing problems, the worst was their filesharing, it literally never worked. You cant find files that are definitely on the network, and if by some miracle you do find something, it fails to download it. 20 years of development and its an unfinished buggy mess. I hope they finally fix it sometime, cause its a really great idea, just executed horribly.

Nette Website. Aber stellt sich raus, dass die Piraten für die Löschung illegaler Inhalte im Netz(statt Geoblocking) stimmten? WTF?

IzzyOnDroid gets their packages by searching for Apks on github in a semi-automated manner and does basically no filtering on its own, so there may be low quality or malicious apps on there.

yeah, the compose key is already standard, just rebind a key to the compose key and it should work.

no, thats also the open source definition point 6: No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor.

A license that reatricts use would be a "source-availible" license aka corporate bs "work for me for free" licenses.

Also, with strong copyleft licenses, businesses must give back, namely when expanding the program. I think thats what many programmers like about open-source and free software. And yeah, a free software license is a precondition to bazaar style development.

yes, sorry for the unclear wording.

We do have funding models for open source and free software. The linux foundation for example takes donations from big players. Its not a forced donation like you suggest, but enough companies see the benefit to fund software they use, so it works. The fsf works a bit like that too, a foundation that, among other things, provides funding for important software. So we do have a way do this, but stuff slips through the cracks, like xz.

Well, right now its just an unconfirmed theory, but I would say yes, thats exactly what happened.
