I don't really understand this. There was a known bug and it was shipped anyway? I must be misunderstanding

That's exactly the goal

Only developers care. The users don't even know what sideloading is. This will successfully kill off the single remaining freedom users have.

This is the final nail in the coffin for personal computing

Edge and Firefox both replicate the issue. It is on all browsers

Well, it was a good run. 25 films ain't bad!

There was nothing stopping a gullible manager from just ... transferring all the money away? uh

What an awful webpage. They hijack the click and right click actions. Can't triple click to select a paragraph. Can't drag selected text. Ugh

I feel the exact same. Marcan has done amazing work, and his random blog entries etc have saved me hours of debugging time in the past. But jeez, it is really painful to see him say absolute nonsense like "If shaming on social media does not work, then tell me what does, because I'm out of ideas." - he has gotta Stop Posting and keep those kinds of thoughts away from his keyboard.

Spamming nonsense isn't a good look...

Forking it is whatever, but to take over their namespace and thus break trust across the ecosystem is a dealbreaker. All devs will have to move.

So, wordpress is being burnt to the ground by Matt. Just great. :/

Sometimes the tone is warranted. Destroying internet search for profit warrants scorn of all kinds. Zitron was too kind

A lot of words to say 'I think it's ok to follow orders blindly and torch valuable technologies'. Gomes had principles, you and Raghavan do not.

The only misleading framing here is your comment, and redis claiming anything about their license is good for users.

It makes perfect sense. They claim all these benefits to users for these non-foss licenses and then themselves avoid them like the plague

They're total hypocrites! For instance Graylog switched to OpenSearch to reap the benefits, but themselves push the awful SSPL on their users.

I have no respect for these organizations. Provide real open source software or start up closed from the get-go, don't build on community contributions for a while and then switch to closed while marketing as being open!

Opensearch has been great so far, no issues ever since deploying the very initial forked version. Neither of those links seem like dealbreakers, am I missing something? Is the idea that opensearch is not usable in production because of missing autocomplete?

Most people must know that redis inc didn't create redis right??

It's funny and hypocritical that a corporation, which used the very terms of the license they now seem to hate in order to come into existence in the first place, is closing that exact path out.
