No they dont, not with the current american administration.

I dont think that there is another way. They are gonna have to coexist with the old guard. The problem is, they are both right. Rust is the better language, its basically made for this task, but C runs everywhere, it has a much larger userbase, and introducing a second language into a huge low level program like Linux will make it much, much harder to maintain.

Well, Matrix is all of that already, it uses its own protocol also called matrix, but its properly federated(unlike bluesky) and its open source. It also has a big userbase. The Matrix protocol is seen as a honorary member of the Fediverse. I think using activitypub may be a bad fit for real time messaging, so them using their own protocol makes sense. There are also XMPP server and clients, who do similar things to matrix, also federated and open source, however they are more like Whatsapp/Telegram etc.

Someone made it! Here is the game if you want to play it: https://black-vein-productions.itch.io/tony-hawks-existential-nightmare

then why make it closed source to begin with?

A lot of drivers for hardware are actually not open source, just unreadable binaries that do ...something. No one knows exactly how they work, so some people consider them a security risk.

I think its because the linux kernel is GPL2, not the modern GPL3 like most free software, so I think thats why some components are allowed to be non-free. Not sure though.

So, that practice violates the spririt of free software. So some distributions have those components removed. Its safer, but you may lose functionality, depending on what computer components you have.

Its an important project, and judging by the other comments here, underappreciated.

This guy sounds like he snorted every 60s-70s sci fi at once and now his goal in life is creating the torment nexus. I had no idea that the CEO of Y Combinator(hacker news?) had "friends" like this?

Is this xitter drama im supposed to care about?

well... i prefer the old logo :(

Die Schlagzeile scheint irgendwie komisch aggressiv dafür was er tatsächlich gemacht hat: Offensichtliche Satire über Verschwörungsschwurbler, und die "überwiegend kritischen Reaktionen" waren besagte Schwurbler die sich auf den Schlips getreten fühlen und, wie er schreibt, bots.
