kingoffranceyeah, i agree, reading quote from esr on lunduke's site i see: "These people are an utter disgrace to the ideals on which I founded OSI.”   i.e. looks like looks like even OSI has been "co-opted"Mar 21 08:50
kingoffrancewell, they say that because to those types FOSS == there is no free software without "open source" (in some people's minds)Mar 21 08:50

oiaohmkingoffrance: " In 1998, a group of individuals advocated that the term free software should be replaced by open-source software (OSS) as an expression which is less ambiguous[11][12][13] and more comfortable for the corporate world." that from the wikipedia and it cited.Mar 21 08:58
kingoffranceyup, when i point that out in many channels, its like some people never heard of that!Mar 21 08:58
oiaohmbasically open-source software idea was about having name that was company friendly.Mar 21 08:58

oiaohmBe careful what you ask for.Mar 21 09:02
roy-on-ted-boxso whatever "Open Source" hoped to (originally) achieve, it clearly failed toMar 21 09:02
oiaohmSometimes you get it then you decide you should have asked for something else and it too late to change.Mar 21 09:02
oiaohmWhat it hope to achive was open source developer paid by companies to work on stuff.Mar 21 09:03

oiaohmroy-on-ted-box: basically the problem is you say OSI did not accomplish its goals when that is wrong.  Its accomplished the goals they wrote at the start.  Now its buyers remorse. Mar 21 09:05

oiaohmroy-on-ted-box: think about holden/GM large car dealerships in Australia who had basic monopoly's in areas.   When holden/GM shut up shop they were screwed.   Yes they controlled the supply chain between factory and customer but it did not help them one bit when the factory made a choice.Mar 21 10:18

oiaohmI am not sure.   I am wondering if Microsoft is not exactly doing a supply chain attack.   I think it could be we are buying into the supply chain where we have poor control really so we can appear to have relevance to the industry to our share holders so our share holders don't jump ship. Mar 21 15:49
oiaohmIn the same logic of companies going into debt to buy back own shares to make their PE numbers look better.Mar 21 15:50
psydroidI have found something interesting in that more people are openly getting fed up with Microsoft and Vista 10 to the point that they have lost any hope and/or migrated to Linux. I think we are going to see an avalanche of migrations off the platform during the next few years. Only the true believers will stay with the platform until there is nothing left to believe in anymore.Mar 21 16:10
oiaohmpsydroid: really Linux platform is starting to get a lot of basic problems solved as well.Mar 21 16:50

XRevan86and stockholmersMar 21 17:03
oiaohmIBM was historically not that hardware malevolent either.Mar 21 17:03
cubexyzoiaohm, for IBM 1130 or IBM/360 no parts after 10 years (or less)Mar 21 17:03
cubexyzno support, just give back the computer after contract expiresMar 21 17:04
oiaohmIBM did provide those at end of support with the specifications to make the parts they need.   Some of the reason why some mussium s have IBM1130 and IBM/360 still working.Mar 21 17:05
oiaohmWas not exactly that IBM was hardware malevolent it was more they were using the factory space for something else so could not make the parts.Mar 21 17:06
oiaohmSome ways they are examples why what is being asked for under right for repair might be highly useless to most people.Mar 21 17:06
cubexyzoiaohm, hard to think of IBM as not malevolent re: hardwareMar 21 17:08
cubexyzmaybe nowadays they are betterMar 21 17:08
oiaohmIBM has gone though differene cycles.Mar 21 17:08
oiaohmBefore Microsoft mess IBM was very open with customers with specifications on stuff so at end of life with enough money you could keep the thing going.Mar 21 17:09
oiaohmThe mess over IBM XT being cloned based of stuff IBM had provided made IBM a lot more protective for a while.Mar 21 17:10

oiaohmRemember IBM wrote the XT ISA bus.Mar 21 17:11
