The social contract of open source

The main blocker I have for moving is the poor session management. On X11 for decades I've been able to log out of my KDE session and when I log in again, all my Konsole windows re-open with the tabs open in the same folders, Dolphin opens with all the tabs open to the same locations etc.

I think they recently added support at the KWin level for reopening windows to the right desktops etc but as far as each individual apps, it seems to be up to them individually to get this working again. I would have thought that at least for the KDE apps, they could just have a compatibility layer from the X11 session management to make it work but it doesn't seem there yet.

The problem is that everyone dies some day so there's never going to be equality between causes of death and reporting rates. You might expect some correlation between preventable causes and reporting, and in-part that's what's being seen here.

https://peps.python.org/pep-0723/, e.g.:

  # /// script
  # requires-python = ">=3.11"
  # dependencies = [
  #   "requests<3",
  #   "rich",
  # ]
  # ///
  
  import requests
  from rich.pretty import pprint
  
  resp = requests.get("https://peps.python.org/api/peps.json")
  data = resp.json()
  pprint([(k, v["title"]) for k, v in data.items()][:10])

Small aside, AVM have now formally rebranded as "FRITZ!"

I'd also argue that VS Code is not open source - at least not the version that 98% of people run. If you download VS Code from almost anywhere (and are not using Codium) then you are subject to the licence terms at https://code.visualstudio.com/license which says you may not:

- reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the software, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code for the software except and solely to the extent required by third party licensing terms governing use of certain open source components that may be included in the software;

- remove, minimize, block or modify any notices of Microsoft or its suppliers in the software;

- use the software in any way that is against the law;

- share, publish, rent or lease the software, or provide the software as a stand-alone offering for others to use.

Based on the comments getting downvoted, it feels like some brigading going on.

"It’s an example of how building transit creates regeneration of wealth, and boosts the economies of the areas it covers."

I was surprised that Wolmar, a Brit, would use the term "transit", rather than "transport" or "transportation". I wonder if this was an editorial change, or him adjusting to his audience of an American magazine (though being interviewed by a Brit).
