Open Real Time Messaging System - Slashdot

A bunch of comments requested an explanation on #Linux graphics drivers, so I decided to take a look at the topic, and explain Mesa, kernel drivers, the Nvidia drivers (Nouveau, NVK, the official #opensource modules, and the proprietary driver), as well as AMD drivers (with RadeonSI, RADV, AMDVLK and AMDGPU, plus AMDGPU-Pro), and Intel drivers (with i915, i965, ANV and the new Xe driver).
I hope it helps make things a bit clearer!

In 2024, please switch to Firefox roytanck.com/2023/12/23/in-202β¦ #privacy #security #opensource #unix #linux #macos
This December, if thereβs one tech New Yearβs resolution Iβd encourage you to have, itβs switching to the only remaining ethical web browser, Firefox. According to recent posts on social media, Firefoxβs market share is slipping. We should not let that happen. There are two main reasons why switching is important.βRed Pandaβ by Mathias Appel is marked with CC0 1.0.
1. Privacy
Firefox is the only major browser not built by a company that makes money from advertising and/or selling your personal data. Thereβs been a lot of talk about websites tracking users using cookies, fingerprinting and other nefarious technologies that hurt your privacy. But owning the browser puts Google, Apple and Microsoft in a position where they donβt even need those tricks. We need to use browsers that are independent, and right now that means Firefox.2. Browser engine monopoly
Wikipedia lists four browser engines as being βactiveβ. Browser engines are the bits that take a web pageβs code and display it on your screen. Ideally, they conform to the official W3C standards, and display all elements as it describes. If thatβs the case, web developers can easily write sites that work on all browsers. No proprietary vendor lock-in nonsense, just glorious open standards at work.Itβs happened before
In the early 2000βs, Internet Explorer had a massive 95% market share. This meant that many sites were only developed for use with IE. Theyβd use experimental features that IE supported, in favor of things from the official HTML standard. This was a very bad situation, which hindered the development of the World Wide Web.Currenty, Chrome, Safari and Edge all use variations of the closely related Webkit and Blink engines. If we want to avoid another browser engine monopoly, we need to support Firefox, and its βGeckoβ engine.
Firefox is actually really good
If Firefox would be a bad browser, I would not recommend you to switch. Itβs fast, has a nice user interface, and feels every bit as modern and elegant as its competition. Iβve been using it as my main browser for a couple of years now, on Linux, Windows, MacOS and Android. As a web developer, I usually have at least three browsers open, but when I go look something up on the web, I pick Firefox.So please, help save the web by using the best browser out there. Itβs an easy thing to do, and it makes a big difference.

Jabber/XMPP turned out to be a much better choice (regarding freedom & independence).

#L10n #help #opensource
Another article on #OpenSource, this time written by Richard Pope, who was one of the founding members of the UKβs #GDS. There is just so much for which governments can benefit by engaging with the open source communities that they use. Furthermore, the government contributing their work back to the public #GitHub or #GitLab repositories makes the code more secure and drives down the costs for #DigitalGovernment.
