Reading some comments I don’t know whether some use fallacious arguments deliberately or are simply incapable of logical reasoning.

I don't see censorship here could you enlighten me? It doesn't seem like they are trying to censor specific topics is it?

I'm not sure about that and if it is so, it's very recent. Playing online isn't bad and addictive per say I would argue though. My comment was more in response to someone who seemed to associate chess to the main online platform which to me, is using addictive patterns to some level.

Chess is healthy you get to go outside and meet people to play with, engage in your local club. Some online platforms make the thing addictive.

It is certainly not open and doesn't compare to ST2110. I was mentioning it for compressed video streaming.

Challenging but certainly doable with kernel bypass technologies and dedicated CPU cores.

It's worth mentioning NDI (Network Device Interface) as well, which is widely used in the Pro-AV for transporting compressed video and audio over IP.

You might also want to mention AMWA NMOS, which is increasingly used alongside SMPTE 2110 in setups like this. NMOS (Networked Media Open Specifications) defines open, vendor-neutral APIs for device discovery, registration, connection management, and control of IP media systems. In practice, it's what lets 2110 devices automatically find each other, advertise their streams, and be connected or reconfigured via software.

The specs are fully open source and developed in the open, with reference implementations available on GitHub (https://github.com/AMWA-TV)

The specs define REST API's, JSON schemas, certificate provisioning, and service discovery mechanisms (DNS-SD / mDNS), providing an open control framework for IP-based media systems.

Hi! I have been happily using Ardour as a hobbyist since version 5. At the same time I also started learning Pure Data. I was wondering how difficult it would be to implement a feature similar to "The Grid" from Bitwig. I’m not sure whether this could be done as a simple plugin, or if it would require much deeper integration with Ardour.

Real communication isn't bound by official bodies, but it also doesn't work by everyone "just saying what they say" and hoping for the best...

Then of course you are free to count 1024 bytes and call that a kB. Pretending everyone else will agree on that is a different thing.

Well at least Microsoft is a platinum member of the Linux Foundation for many years...

It is true that Linux-based distributions have this thing in common: the Linux kernel. There have been some GNU/Hurd variants though...

Joking aside, I often hear people say "they should" when talking about GNU/Linux (for example: "they should just standardize on one audio stack"), as if there were a central authority making those decisions. What many don't realize is that with FOSS comes freedom of choice... and inevitably, an abundance of choice. That diversity isn't a flaw, it's a consequence of how the ecosystem works.

Audio latency on Linux was already very low long before PipeWire, thanks to JACK.

That is very true. But because it is open source, one can request for packaging, contribute a package, use a third-party repository, or build it from source when needed.

For distro-packaged FOSS, binary compatibility isn't really a problem. Distributions like Debian already resolve dependencies by building from source and keeping a coherent set of libraries. Security fixes and updates propagate naturally.

Binary compatibility solutions mostly target cases where rebuilding isn't possible, typically closed source software. Freezing and bundling software dependencies ultimately creates dependency hell rather than avoiding it.

Paying makes sense when you actually need/use those services. Paying "because you can" feels wrong to me. If the goal is to support FOSS, there are many more ways to contribute than subscribing to a service you don't use.

That's what I like in the US: the servers are so friendly... and yes, I know it’s all for the tip.

I've gotten into the habit of replacing the accented "é" in my first name with a plain ASCII "e" in forms to avoid troubles. The worse part is that the form is usually accepted, then later on you encounter random issues (cannot log back in, ...).

You're conflating freedom of use with moral endorsement. FOSS grants freedom, not ethical approval of every use.

You are correct but in the context of free software, the FSF has been explicit about this ("The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose"). Publishing software under a FOSS license imply that you agree with this definition of freedom.

For a lot of people, FOSS is also very much the why. It’s not just a practical tool—it represents core principles like freedom, transparency, and collaboration. Those values are the reason many contribute in the first place.

Wouldn't you want the code generated by those models be released under those permissive licenses as well? Is that what you mean by other derived artifacts?

I have significantly less chronic neck pain episodes. Other than that not really, I've never been in bad shape. I'm in my forties and I really feel like I can hurt myself pushing to hard after a couple months of inactivity so...

I used to work out quite intensively for 2-5 months at a time (a mix of climbing and running, 3-4 times a week), followed by long breaks (6 months to a year). I've now decided to be more consistent by training less intensively, but with a strong commitment to doing at least one session per week - and I’ve managed to stick with it for about two years now.

Yes, on my work's laptop that is running windows...

At school we called our module analsyn for syntactic analyser. Good times.
