I do understand OS.
Read the preamble of gpl this explains the _purpose_ of os.
The _goal_ of open source is to provide free software. Software that is free to _use_ now, and in the future, not _just_ free to get the source, free to use.
If you don't provide free software (and free build processes) it's not compliant with Open Source licences.
Paid binaries are permitted but you must be _willing_ to to give away your software free of cost.
Aguably nagware is a deliberate annoyance and time cost to the user that makes it not "free to use". Adding crippleware (making it not work after a period of time) is certainly forbidden.
If your are writing nagware with oss license no-one will take you to court, because they can fix it, but it's certainly deceptive. It imies you don't want your software to be free to use.
OS licenses were not designed as a marketing tool for individual developers to get you a foot in the door. You can do that, but don't be surprised if you get called out for it. That is not the _purpose_ of OS.
That's the purpose of a free tier.
As a RedHat customer I don't find any of the software use daily to be suffering from nagware.
If grep had nagware in it, I'd bitch about it on HN.

No, the goal of Open Source is to provide a user with ability access the source and do things to it. That's the difference between the Open Source and Free Software championed by FSF. FSF flopped. That's why we are still waiting for the Hurd to be useful.

So you think Zensursula is pushing surveillance state only so she can then buy surveillance products of US tech companies because ... what? Money going to her pocket?
I think that's much more of a conspiracy theory than the notion that politicians want control.
As a German minister of defence, she is known as a person who paid half a billion euros to PwC consultants. Also, she renovated a sailing wooden training ship for more than 200 million euros.
And she is accused of removing proofs by deleting data from her phone and “not remembering” anything.
I would trust that person every evil and corrupt thing one can imagine.
Of course, she wants Control, although not for control's sake, but because she will get more of what she really wants (money, power, more money, ...)
It's sad that our EU doesn't let any hope that they do something because they believe it's the right thing to do. It's always big business and foreign government interests before interests of Europeans.
History is chock full of people in positions of power pissing away all sources of resources and closing the door to all sorts of prosperity for both themselves and for the people subject to their actions in order to further consolidate power.
She is riding the lobbying wave without giving much critical thinking to what happens. After all, she is just a humble public servant, she thinks. What harm can this possibly make?
Make a free Gitlab account and try out their Web IDE as it is now, and then compare it to Gitpod or just run Coder-server on your machine. It's a humongous change.
The current Web IDE is not an IDE at all - VSCode is.
The other way round, actually. France recently had massive problems because they had to switch off multiple nuclear plants for unexpected maintenance issues, and bought lots of power from Germany
1 event does not make a rule. French nuclear reactors were turned off for maintenance, yes, but over the past 30 years, it is clearly Germany depending on French power
Doesn't matter at all. Germany is exporting tons of underpriced (or even negatively priced) electricity in peak season - when everybody has more than enough of their own, so people are using it only to mine Bitcoin and other non essential usecases - and then there would be a blackout off-season if it wasn't for neighboring nuclear power plants, gas and coal. Very weird for a country that has its mouth full with greenness and renewability.
Is this really what German press is reporting? What a gross lie. The "overheating" is neither due to the reactor (simply it getting hot naturally) nor actively threatening to the reactor: they are just stopped to avoid making the situation slightly worse. Temperature difference at the output of a nuclear plant is barely a degree.
That's kinda the point of an interconnected electricity grid, it allows you to import the cheapest energy available. I don't get the argument here. Sometimes it's renewable, sometimes it's gas, sometimes it's coal, sometimes it's hydro, sometimes it's nuclear...?
The argument here is that a country that keeps talking about green energy, ecology and renewables for decades is now using much less ecological methods of power generation than nuclear, and they keep badmouthing nuclear too.
Germany abandoning nuclear has been decades in the making, it does not come as a surprise. If we look at the whole picture without focusing on one particular energy source, then we can see that they have reduced their CO2 emissions over the years. Not by much, but it's expected to improve when they close down their coal plants.
Actually Germans say that a lot and try to enforce it through the EU. They never found support for a complete ban but they're thwarting progress as much as they can.
And then you have the Austrians who try to cancel our nuclear power plants directly through activism, etc.
I read that debate about what is supposed to be green just a political struggle to get a larger share of pot of money distributed by being anti-nuclear they could "compromise to" natural gas being allowed as green.
makes me wondering maybe I was in a sterile information vacuum. I used to think Angular naturally protects me from all this BS mediocre react projects because of its ’enterpriseness‘ and ‘the choice for serious projects’. Thank you for the note, I’ll take this into account
Make sure you're generalising your experience and not advertising yourself as an angular dev. Many jobs expect you to take 6 months to a year to fully get up to speed anyway in my experience.
I was doing exactly opposite (Angular-only) but now I see that maybe times when there were plenty of Angular positions with often more interesting projects are gone
Yeah. Around 2019 most companies I interviewed for started telling me they're rewriting their Angular projects to React. Before that there was a good number of Angular projects, but I'm seeing only React since then, occasionally some Angular maintenance when it's not worth it to rewrite (so you don't really want to work there usually).
Is the source open and with a OSS-compatible licence? Then it's open source, not freeware nor shareware.
Red Hat has nagging too.
