  • Again, these puritan open source defenders. “It’s not open source if $bibleQuote”. “Just call it source available”. And all the other arguments.

    From what I gather, the licence is still in the spirit of open source, just not to the letter. It doesn’t want large businesses taking the code , making a competitor and nor contributing back.

    These open source defenders do not care about developers and their lives. They just want the code be released in a manner that respects their bible, to the letter.

    On regular x86 laptops, this mapping is already present in the UEFI firmware, described as ACPI tables. ACPI, which stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface, is an open standard that some firmware implementations use to advertise the devices that are part of the system to the operating system through a key-value data structure called “ACPI tables”. At boot, when the operating system detects ACPI tables, it reads them to enumerate the hardware devices and allow the various drivers and kernel modules to interact with all compatible discovered devices.

    Why doesn’t Quallcomm have this? Seems like a major oversight. Kinda weird that they don’t have ACPI. It’s an open standard…

    I’ve been in the industry a while too and in multiple countries in Europe. Before COVID there were even some visits to tech conferences. Only once did I meet a trans person (or so I think, they never corrected anybody on the pronouns).

    This seems to be an internet thing, or at least the loud minority thing, but maybe I’m also just a recluse 🤷
