Correct reaction, good on them.

Well I’m curious to find out what discovery will show.

Yeah but the article links the steamdb calulator twice and the actual steam page not at all. Freaking weird.

I recently went through that dongle buying experience. Having to get the correct DAC and amplifier chipset so the sound won’t be too low is annoying. For the record I ended up going with one that has the CX31993 DAC and the MAX97220 amplifier, it doesn’t have a real name so I’ll just give a link: https://aliexpress.com/item/1005008755907868.html. It is a bit louder than my first impulsive buy, but I haven’t tested the microphone yet.

This gives me the same vibes as the fucking New York Times annoying me with the popover prompt to use their app every day. The app to read websites on phones already exists, it’s called a browser, and I’m using it. Asking a hundred more times won’t change my mind.

I even opened a support case which only resulted in them “passing on the suggestion”.

Looks okay to me. Not sure how important the last two are to be honest, but I included them for completeness

The marketing statements on the website say the right things too, but they are secondary to the above, obviously:

Openness

OpenCloud is and remains open source software. This means that you can download and use the source code free of charge and without obligation. We welcome and encourage any kind of participation in the work on OpenCloud in the spirit of open source collaboration.

OpenCloud GmbH also offers paid builds of OpenCloud for use in environments where support, professional services and other services are required.

Who are we?

OpenCloud GmbH is a young company founded under the umbrella of the Heinlein Group and employs a team of developers who are familiar with the project code.

The combination of the Heinlein Group’s many years of experience in the open source business and the unwavering enthusiasm of the developers, most of whom have many years of open source experience, provides the perfect foundation for an active project. And we warmly invite everyone to join us!

The foundation

The basis of the project is a fork of a widely used open source project whose components are co-developed by developers from the science organization CERN and other active participants. OpenCloud is now being continuously developed independently by the OpenCloud community and published under the Apache 2.0 and AGPL-3.0 licenses.

In the spirit of reusability of code under free licenses, we are grateful for the strong foundation on which we are building.

Maybe they should have used some of that very profane UV light on their holy water, to make it safe, not just holy.

One theory is that Tor was opened to the public by the United States Naval Research Laboratory only to create a crowd of users for their agents to hide in. You need a large enough anonymity set for these sorts of technologies to work.
