I literally live inside the combo of

  • #Firefox
  • #Evolution
  • #Emacs
  • #Alacritty
  • #GIMP

And very rarely leave the comfort of my cozy habitat ๐Ÿ˜

At work, I'm "forced" to use a Mac but thanks to #FOSS I've got the whole combo setup on my work laptop too except Evolution sadly.

Effective method...so long as your kid doesn't hate you ๐Ÿ˜‚ in which case, IMHO, it should be a favourite aunt/uncle/teacher/... who introduces them to the topic while the parents try to stay quite on the topic as much as possible.

Side note: do try out Firefox sync. It will only take a minute to setup, is pretty secure and most importantly saves your bookmarks, history, passwords, ... so you don't end up where you are today again. HTH

Ah...this explains why it works: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?712#comment16

It's a new feature \o/

Oh, it works ๐ŸŽ‰ Thank you!

For posterity here's a complete example:

foo\:bar :
	@echo $(@)

and then

$ make foo:bar
foo:bar

Though, TBH, I don't understand how this works ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ I need to look into Make docs.

Unfortunately didn't work. I got the same *** target pattern contains no โ€˜%โ€™ error.

I installed it. Definitely very different! I'll give it a fair shot though - looks like there's been plenty of thought behind its design.

Does it collect/transmit the keystrokes to their server?

[โ€“] bahmanm@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I think you may be right. I'll look into it and report back here.

Given I was recently involved in minimising the impact of Lightbend's similar move earlier this year, AFAIU it means their products will be conditionally open source. They'll be free to use for non-commercial use but you'd need to pay for anything else.

This is the 2nd of such moves this year to my knowledge; first there was #Lightbend and #Akka and now this. What a year for #FOSS ๐Ÿ˜•

I know for a fact that so many organisations use #hashicorp products for commercial purposes w/o ever contributing back. And I understand how this may feel for hashicorp in these harsh economic times. Though this still is, IMHO, a cheap move: they used an OSS license for a very long time which resulted in a massive user base and a "soft" vendor lock-in, and now they decided to milk that user base.

Looking forwards to solid community-driven forks of their products ๐Ÿ’ช
