Classic bait and switch!

OTOH Broadcom is paying someone to write open source 3D drivers for the chip in the RPi:

Sadly Allwinner did zero of that mainlining.

How about completely automating your garden? Or a robot?

Sue Amazon?

Kali has a boatload of open source tools:

What mjg59 has been doing is utter genius. Buy something online, discover it is full of backdoors and violates the GPL, post utterly scathing review, buyers stop buying it. We need more people to do that.

* Open source: No * GPL violating: Yes * Tivoised: Yes * Backdoors: Yes

What about iPhones?

Or maybe just a patch in the standard version?

Something like Certificate Transparency but for binaries and source code?

That's not the problem; the problem is a lack of awareness about object-capability theory. zooko nailed it: https://twitter.com/zooko/status/748683889934163969

If you have time, read up on the basics: http://www.erights.org/talks/promises/paper/tgc05-submitted....

Will the commercial version be open source?

The minetest packages are in Debian too. Also a number of mods are in Debian and Ubuntu.

They got rid of the most obnoxious things and added SSL:

Next time, use diffoscope to track down the exact differences.

Someone should set up an AI startup for harddrive failure prediction.

Now you can just `apt install smart-notifier`

So what do you run on Epiphany if there is no Linux?

What is your software story for this thing?

Are you upstreaming qemu, uboot, Linux, GCC, GDB etc changes?

Will we see a Debian port for this?

Yes, they are quite different.

There is no relationship between the two.

Is there a reason you cant use cross-builds? or qemu once it has virtio?

That has nothing to do with 3G, it is just WiFi.

The qemu support for RISC-V is being upstreamed right now and there is also the Spike RISC-V simulator that you can use. There are various soft CPUs that can be run in FPGAs too.

Connects to the existing phone networks probably requires money and special contracts with existing phone network providers.

Never idolize Mark Zuckerberg.

Most modern tech companies are contributing to open source, via both sponsorship and developer time. It would be great if they did more of course.
