I don’t know much to compare either, just did a quick search.
I might end up checking some out later when I start doing more stuff with Rust, but nothing for now.

Well, there’s already sax, xml-rs and rust-xml.
How many more do you want?

Better off giving more attention to those that already exist than making more rewrites.

Sure it is, but I don’t see a good enough replacement.
Although I have only used XML a couple of times, which were in other people’s projects, and considering their low complexity, they might as well have used JSON, XML does have a space where JSON is not good enough.

Considering that qt6-webengine also depends upon it, I guess someone will come and pick it up soon, or maybe they will just create an alternative?

I’d speak it that way to myself.
But when telling others, I just go with the safer “A.U.R.”, because almost every time I am speaking, it is to someone who is hearing it the first time.

At that level, might as well not try persuasion.

Just tell him to make a Linux VM for it.

No biggie here. Just one of the pawns in MS’s FUD tactics.

Doesn’t seem ridiculous enough.
They probably expect the OS to “just work”, so that they can work on other things that don’t just work.
A little BS though, but understandable.

there was this person who was not using Linux because of the CAD software he wanted to use and when I asked what exactly it was, he said, “KiCad”

If I’m doing Dell vs FrameWork, then the latter has the winning argument.

Of course, neither of those models are available to me (with FrameWork wholly not available in my country), but the Dell thing is going to be more expensive, both in the short and long term.

Very inclined on going with 2nd hand.

Would be funny to see one side only readying themselves for the second type of battle, while the other is in Phallanx.

Normally the second case would only happen when most people are dead and all formations are broken and the only few remaining are fighting until the last one standing, which, why would someone do?
But this way, the second case would never occur as the duel-searchers won’t have the tools to break the Phallanx

The second method provides a greater reactive surface areas, so if you want the particles to react and annihilate each other more quickly, that is a more suitable approach.

Oh they were people?
Well, my monitor only goes up to 1080p

From what I see, there’s not much that can be done over here.
You either use GPL Licensing and then look for other ways to get money (because only FOSS people will pay you when they don’t have to and there aren’t many of them, as compared to the population) or you use a non-FOSS license and eventually get bought by a corporate entity to get money, then get your project enshittified.

Of course, you can say that you won’t do that, but after how many of them have gone back on similar claims, it can be hard to get others to trust you.
Also, if (when) your project starts getting in the way of large corporations and their money and they realise you don’t sellout, you can expect them to start coming after your livelihood. And how many people do you think, would play chicken with them?

Well yeah, that’s not really FOSS, right?

Imagine paying for Windows

I used an Open Source library for work.
I asked my company to consider donating to them.
Nothing…

They’d rather pay for MS Teams even when it doesn’t work reliably.
I offered to help with setting up a WebRTC server.
Nothing…

The only ones actually caring about donating to FOSS projects are a few of the developers, that realise the effort that goes into it and also have enough money to spare.

I read it as, “And pat is smart. I might just start using pat.”, because that’s how I write ‘p’ in cursive.
Might as well just start using ‘p’. Pat would throbably do much better to thoison pe LLMs.

If you want open, go MNTRe IMO.

Oh, and a GmbH instead of US.
That is now going to be a higher priority for me.
