there may be a part of the population who likes to put their mobile phone into their jeans’ front pocket instead of having to carry a daypack for it or these new cases to carry them outside on a string... thats why i like ~4 inch phones


Why should it be wrong to tell how someone doesn’t like the textual presentation of the tool?

(Edit: fixed typos)


I'm not in a position to judge what is right or wrong, but I feel like he could have done better than form an opinion on the tool based on the first sentence of the website, and then provided no comments on the actual tool itself.

He can write whatever he wants. Would benefit him a lot though to not be put off by the first 5 words of anything, and instead have patience to form a well rounded opinion of whatever he's looking at.


Why? Even though it makes me clueless, i dont see how it’s more crazy than many other things people do to themselves, others, and the environment. Having a few crazy people doing some physical and mental exercises and calling that Operating Systems (as far as my understanding of it goes as of yet) is neither the craziest nor the most dangerous thing i’ve seen on this planet...


Where are the sources for this Open Source System?

Anything public is vague, (ab)using computer science terms for something that as i guess so far seems more like a physical/mental practice, and everything that could help to understand it better is not public but offered to be bought.


This makes it more clear...

Especially, it seems its not software to run on a Computer.


To me the slides dont help understanding what it is and what i can do with it / what it can do for me...

It seems not to be in the interest or capabilities of the authors to give people a simple, few sentences explanation about this - and clarity and simplicity of communication is not one of this System’s goals obviously...

Might still be interesting.


With „worse“ you mean what exactly? Probably just „not fitting my personal needs and ideas“? That doesn’t make something generally worse... or can you tell me how it’s bad for me?


Companies are usually wary of AGPL. e.g.:

https://opensource.google.com/docs/using/agpl-policy/


That just means „not suited for everyones needs and taste“ - tge same goes for another license that a company chose. Others like it less.


Exactly. And that's what the comment you replied to said. For them, it was worse for their "needs and taste" but you wanted clarification. Now you're saying the clarification is obvious so I don't know what's your point.


Companies trying to make money off somebody else's work are not the only consideration when choosing a license.


A bank solving your issue as “acceptable risk” and trust, and it results in me being able to access my card and bank account, to me it’s “just fine”.

If google takes the path of rather locking everything down then risking to lose a cent, it’s safe for them and bad for customers... not fine.

Sure risk is never just dissolving into light, nuce smelling smoke. Someone has to take and handle it.

I propose it’s the company who makes billions to handle it gracefully for customers ...


I did that and i didn’t like latex. Especially error messages in case of wrong latex code was extremely unhelpful, pointing to code lines far away from the actual erroneous line. I might be too stupid... but that’s how it felt, and i imagine being able to use simple markdown much more useable.


Everyone always recommends latex, but I always end up spending more time googling cryptic errors that actually writing when using latex. I would not recommend it to a friend.


Not every artist makes art to make a living if it, nor do they need to. Some can’t (e.g. because they don’t have and struggle to aquire the necessary business skills) and some don’t even want that... they just wanna make some art and are happy to do it just as a hobby, no business, no chores... There’s nothing wrong with that , it even has some upsides, because you really absolutely never need to do the slightest sacrifice in your works for economic or marketing reasons.
