New (February 2025) paper, https://cms.mgt.tum.de/fileadmin/mgt.tum.de/faculty_and_research/mppe/39_Nora_von_Ingersleben-Seip_How_the_European_Union_Fell_Out_Of_Love_With_Open-Source_Software.pdf , describes "How the European Union Fell Out of Love with Open-Source Software":

"A coalition of determined open-source software (OSS) advocates and a handful of technology experts working in the European Commission set out in 2004 to end Microsoft's monopoly. They almost succeeded. This article reveals how they managed to change the EU's software policies, made Microsoft lobbyists work overtime - and in the end, and despite their best efforts, could not withstand the power of proprietary companies’ lobbying campaigns.

Drawing on the Multiple Streams Framework, the article explains the European Commission’s decision to promote OSS and open standards in 2004, and its puzzling decision to reverse course just a few years later, in 2010, despite its unchanged rhetoric about the benefits of openness. The analysis reveals three key factors that drove the changes in the EU’s policies.

In 2004, OSS advocates managed to frame the EU’s dependency on proprietary software as a problem – and the promotion of OSS and open standards as the solution.

In 2010, #Microsoft and other proprietary companies used their existing connections in Brussels to sow doubt about the maturity and cost of #OSS among #EU policymakers."

Este vídeo é o resumo da parte da noite eleitoral que mais me preocupou.

Ouve-se agora o #PSD a dizer que agora ganhou e que se espera responsabilidade dos outros sob a forma de aprovarem um programa de governo. Do PS ouve-se algo semelhante: que no cenário actual eles não têm hipótese senão viabilizar um governo minoritário de Montenegro.

Mas eu discordo: minorias levam a negociações, e #PS tem poder negocial. Deve usá-lo, com responsabilidade: fazer depender uma aprovação do programa de governo e viabilizar um governo liderado por Montenegro durante um ano da existência de um compromisso escrito da parte do PSD de que eles não viabilizarão nenhuma reforma constitucional durante esta legislatura.

O pior take para qualquer assunto é o "isso não me surpreende" ou "só quem não está atento não percebe"

Só serve pra centrar a discussão na suposta perspicácia de quem o diz, e deixar de falar do assunto propriamente dito

Gostava de ter um meme sobre isto para postar como resposta aos casos que vou vendo

i switched my bookmarks site from espial (unmaintained project) to linkding, and while i'll miss espial's simplicity, i do appreciate linkding's power and the provided API.

at first i got auth working with my SSO (authelia) and was happy, but i want my public bookmarks available without login... and i couldn't configure my proxy to make that work, because of issues with sub paths, which sucks. so i switched to linkding's built-in auth. inconvenient, but worth it to share my bookmarks.

@lyse that's alright haha! i don't expect anyone to listen/watch in full or with full attention bc it's so long lmao

the thing with PHP for me is that i... feel like it hits a kind of simplicity that i can understand? it's so plain but can be very powerful. i quite like that. as much as i can learn something infinitely more powerful, PHP hits a comfortable thing where i can handle things like backend sqlite DBs AND how a page is rendered, without requiring a complex frontend with its own quirks (like ruby on rails, which as much as i know and love it, can be heavy).

but i totally get you! PHP security is very scary. i'm always worried that i'm messing something up. it's why the PHP application i'm working on i have dockerized by default for a small but extra layer of protection

i'll try to not get discouraged <3 tysm for your advice

@prologic That’s an interesting premise in that article:

> The fun has been sucked out of the process of creation because nothing I make organically can compete with what AI already produces—or soon will.

This is like saying it’s pointless to make music yourself because some professional player/audio engineer does a better job. Really, there’s always someone or something that’s better than you at a particular job.

If we focus too much on “competition”, then yes, you can just stop doing anything. I don’t know how common this mindset is, especially among artists or creative people. 🤔 I would have assumed that many writers, for example, simply enjoy the process of writing. Am I being too naive once more? 🤣
