>it's absolutely nothing to be worried about
The problem there is that's not for you to decide, it's for me to decide. Forcing it into machines, on by default, not warning the user, obfuscating it as much as possible and making the user have to look up guides and fight their own computer at length just to turn this shit off because you know full well they'd never choose to have it, is all the reason needed to be firmly against it.

You now remember that Linux could do all these effects on a cheap Dell with a Pentium. Meanwhile, Windows Vista at the exact same time needed maxed out specs in order to make a window border pseudot-transparent.

Closed source software is not the same as patent protected software. Releasing a offline usable closed source binary under no license is so much more ethical then a proprietary (patent) license that threatens people with prison time and civil liability for sharing/modifying software or using it the wrong way. Also the addition of spyware sometimes and cloud tethering. Which I also oppose.

But it seems TMK that Stallman may conflate offline usable closed source and patented software as if they are both as bad. but maybe some people know more about him then I do, Does he recognize the difference and what does /g/ think of the difference? I'm saying I strongly agree with Stallman big tech patent hoarding and patent trolling is harmful, and and I view the GPL3 like a voluntary contract programmers agree to participate in and hope to abolish all patents one day, but I'm not following his logic that seems to hint at closed source software being illegal as an ultimate goal. Patents should be illegal but not software with no public code.

You seem to be confused.

>>107737754
I meant both. Anything that prevents the user from developing competing software based on the same principles and rules on how they can use the software and how many computers they can install it on.

Both patents and proprietary software fall under that label. But close sourced with just a binary does not.

Despite Stallberg calling AI "bullshit generators" Grok largely agrees with Stallberg's analysis on patent hoarding and trolling in the 90s to 2000s but he seems to think the GPL wasn't very effective at safe guarding against it. He keeps saying it was a landmark lawsuit in 2014 that weakened the ability of patent trolls and by that time more commercial software was moving to the cloud so it wasn't being redistributed for offline use anyway.

So the way I conclude is that we need to build a time machine and abolish software patents in the year 1995 that way we can get a decentralized economy powered by free and open source software because the timeline we are in is already doomed.

I think the check up to a given day/i would be:
from cells where c_i = 0 create a list of all rows
include values +1 and -1 of all those row values
now check all cells where c_i = 1 for row values in the list
if none match the list then exit and increment i
save all row values that exist in the list +/-1
repeat until you're able to reach c_i = col
i-1 is the last day

lists could be mostly re-used when incrementing i

Hey guys I'm in a bit of a pickle and looking for some advice.

For at least a decade Honeyview has been my goto for images, until just recently when I started saving images in HEIC format. I did all the research, ran my own comparisons from shooting in RAW and checking JPEG vs HEIC and it's true, it just is the superior evolution of the lossy compression format.

So honeyview has apparently turned into paid scamware if you want HEIC support and there's allegedly privacy concerns and whatnot. I saw there's qView but my muscle memory is so ingrained with honeyview I honestly hate how little QOL features it has and lack of shortcuts.

Is there a true FOSS successor to honeyview? Should I just suck it up and learn qView?

Nah hes dead right bro, i have spent probably 1000 hours or more over the last 18 months trying to get games working on debian and arch. Everything else was satisfactory, just gaming has been a struggle. Ultimately i either stopped playing the games that arent compatible or reinstalled windows 10 on the backup drive for the one game i want to play that just updated to unreal engine 5 with forced DX12.

I get that older games and your little japanese slideshow book porno games made by people using WYSIWYG game editors works fine, but its beyond broken and useless for any of the following categories:

Racing games (hardware wheel support usually broken)
VR (LMAO EVEN)
Anything made after 2020 because of DX12 being a joke on linux
Anything thats competitive with modern anti-cheat (thanks michaelsoft for paying off the AC devs to fuck over linux users)
