what do you mean? it’s still being used in many many projects and is as great as ever

Apparently nowadays they were able to extend the battery life quite a bit with the new generation of 61Wh batteries (instead of the previous 55Wh)
To be honest I expected nothing else from the Linux kernel as by now it’s so widespread and essential to so many companies’ operations that they need to have their dedicated developers to make patches and push new features into the kernel. The notable fact though is that Linux is licensed under GPL and somehow the companies still embraced it, so it’s not as “toxic” to them as expected. I am aware of the fact that Linux and most other popular GPL projects are mostly contained to binaries and there’s even one notable example with the ogg vorbis audio format where Richard Stallman himself decided that relincensing it under BSD license instead of the LGPL would improve its adoption over the patented MP3 so clearly GPL isn’t always the right choice, but if people don’t actively push for copyleft licenses then we’ll forever be stuck in a world of companies actively blocking the spread of knowledge, selling us software filled with DRM and proprietary software, making insane profits, but graciously letting a few developers to contribute some of their company time back to these open source projects. I don’t think it’s fair and GPL may not be solution for all the problems, but what else it to be done?
I don’t think there’s a hidden conspiracy behind projects such as this one; it may be just that it’s simply much easier for projects with permissive licenses to take off as corporations and private entities are willing to sometimes submit patches and contribute to these projects on the side while sponsoring the developers with money. However, it’s still definitely not proportionate to the value that the community contributes back and basically gives to the corporations for free with most of them packaging these libraries and binaries and selling their software for much higher profit without ever contributing anything back. There is a reason why these permissive licenses are called the cuck licenses and I wish that more people would start caring about the license they publish their code under, but the sad reality is that, especially in the rust community, the MIT and Apache 2.0 licenses became the de facto standard, and that was without much pressure from the big corporations, though rust has its origins under the umbrella of Mozilla so it’s not that surprising given this context.
I’ve made https://lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz/ to help take off some of that load. New registrations are welcomed and it should be maintained for a very very long time 🎂
Hey, I also noticed the lack of a madoka magica community, so I created !madokamagica@lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz
The easiest thing to do imo would be to just copy the rules from one of the main instances and stick to these. Then just monitor the activity on your instance from time to time and review applications and reports.
You can’t discover every community throughout the lemmy’s fediverse that way though. Only the communities that other users previously subscribed/searched for. https://browse.feddit.de/ is the thing to use if you’d like to see everything
you can, but you need to search for a specific community, then subscribe to it, so for that lemmydeals server it’d be !monitors@lemmydeals.com for example
I do actually, there is !hopeposting@lemmy.world
may the gods watch over your battles, friend!
New community just dropped
I made femboy_irl today - !femboy_irl@lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz
Currently it only has 3 ppl subscribed to it but hopefully it’ll grow :)
Finally a deep rock galactic community?! Let’s gooo, rock and stone!
I created a few shitposting communities that I really miss from reddit.
!rustjerk@lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz - a place dedicated to making fun of rust programming language (actually mainly its competitors)
!vexillologyjerk@lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz - funny flags
!yurop@lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz - Europe and the EU in a humorous fashion
!truestl@lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz - Elder Scrolls shitposting
!femboy_irl@lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz - femboy memes
!data_irl@lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz - funny graphs
!okbuddybaka@lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz - stupid anime memes
There isn’t anything going on there at the moment, but I hope in time they can prosper and produce some cool content :)

Now that you mention it, there really has been like a year since rust has first been introduced the the kernel officially. I don’t know if any parts of it have been written in rust as of now or whether new drivers have been made, but I suppose it’s most likely still experimental in a way.
