Last week we had this thread >>108131139.Yet what (generally more known) projects are Germans actually even behind?>Suse>Systemd>OpenDesk>OwnCloud>n8n>PandasAI>Typstare the best I could pull off my head.
They destroy Europe for free. I don’t know what else they contribute to besides leaving their towels on poolside seats and then disappearing.
Seafile, i guess. Although i haven't seen in use outside of uni ever.
>>108188924ÖffiGenuinely the saving grace of public transit in Germany at the moment.A minimal interface to easily access all the official APIs that are usually hidden behind clunky, border-line unusable apps.The APIs' data management is generally a total disaster, though, but that's nothing Öffi can do anything about.
They do a lot more shitty closed source stuff than good open source stuff.Anything Siemens or SAP is toxic.
Cdrecord. That is what everyone using for optical drives.
>>108189939>SAPI keep hearing this is what pays the big bucks. I also hear COBOL is what pay big bucks and other stuff like that. What is the real stuff that pays the big bucks?
>>108188924The Linux OS distro Siduction.
>>108191253You are on the wrong board.
Imagine being able to fulfill your community service hours slinging code.

>>108191420You already tried that joke last time and nobody laughed.
>>108191405I forgot I'm on the aisloppa board. Could you be so kind as to point me towards the technology board?
>>108191508Sure, it's right over at 4chan.org/lgbt. No need to thank me.
>>108188924>>108189939This. The best German software products I've seen are Slackware and the shareware Windows backup program Back4sure. SAP is hot garbage.The Germans either develop a real individualized personality in the way few people can, or they become slaves to the state. And internalize all of its thoughts as their own.
>>108191523That's just macfags, but thanks.
>>108191460No idea why you perceived that as a joke.
How is suckless software not on your list?
>>108191420Germany should invest in and give money to people that contribute to libre and open source in a meaningful way.Anything but that won't make more people contribute.
>>108192533A programmer doesn't need a lot of money or time to make good software. He just needs freedom. That's why Germans are such shitty programmers.
>>108188940>I don’t know what else they contribute to besides leaving their towels on poolside seats and then disappearing.I went to a predominantly German resort area of Majorca last year and was astonished that they didn't do this, and the general good behaviour in general.
glibc
>>108192533already does. wasn't there recently news about some project getting money and everybody was like "what's Germany up to" when in reality someone just applied for a grant and got it?I forgot the which project, though.
>>108192533The German government is mostly invested in "saving OurDemocracy".Most important step: Getting the opposition banned, because it doesn't think alike.Also, getting people to return to only use media like council-sanctioned public stations and the council-sanctioned press, so they don't get exposed to "disinformation".And to stop "hate and agitation", you must not be allowed to post anything online without your real name publicly visibly attached to it.I still have a slim hope left for this country, but it's getting smaller ever day. Open Source is the least of our troubles at this point.
>>108195109Germany, and the EU in general, are making a big show of moving away from American tech companies. There have been smaller attempts in the past but they petered out either because Microsoft made them a sweetheart deal or they discovered the mishmash of FOSS replacements were more than government employees could figure out how to use.This time they say they're financially subsidizing the development of European versions of products from American tech companies but even infinite money doesn't matter if you don't have the management and tech skills to actually create the desired software. EU management of anything is a clusterfuck and the tech skills that once upon a time existed have been degraded and emigrated. The EU solution: import jeets. My guess is that well connected large European companies will suck up billions of Euros in subsidizes, produce some tepid jeet trash, and once a Democrat gets elected president in the US again, the whole thing will be quietly dropped. The jeets however won't leave the EU once they've dug in.
