I'm an european and still can't remember the meaning of both acronyms, although I understand from the context that they name in some way the computer technology (~: For the article, English not being my mother tongue, I feel rather confused (the html version doesn't help) although I understand that Jaromil shares the same concerns as many of us about who manages the future of Linux and in what direction. It is clear that Linus Torvalds doesn't deal only with benevolent contributors. For userland I feel more comfortable that there will long be a possibility to keep the freedom, given we still get the kernel. -- Didier ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

Back then ICT was the preferred acronym in the US in contexts where the activity was the focus. I gather the focus has now shifted to who is doing the billing for the tools rather than what the tools actually do any more. However, there may be some change in terminology in the EU as well as I have recently heard someone from gen Z making distinctions between IT and ICT but I did not press for a clarification or definitions at the time. Now I see that it could be worth finding out offline both what people see as the distinction and where the push for a distinction is coming from. The definitions might have changed very recently. Or it could be a shibboleth like spelling out S Q L versus saying Sequel to mean SQL in speech. Either way, it is always good practice to define each and every acronym upon their first use, since even common acronyms may have different expansions within different fields. ) Back on topic, I appreciate the post that "jaromil" has written. The nested subtopics make the structure hierarchical rather than linear. The part about IBM's apparent strategy is about the right length, give or take a little, so it would be hard to squeeze in the term "decommoditization". However, I feel that the term might be important enough to include because it would then link today's situation to ongoing, long-term attempts to derail FOSS development and Linux through the injection of artificial complexity. The strategy of decommoditization was outlined as a threat in the 1998 leak of the Halloween Documents. In a plot twist, IBM (once mistaken for an ally) appears to have been able to abuse the strategy more fully than Microsoft. One more reason to bring it up is that standardization is mentioned, standardization implicitly includes the concept of commodities, and commoditization of technology is so integral to FOSS that there is a risk it has been taken for granted. /Lars ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

I have a closed case yet light still leaks out of the back of my PSU. Numlock, desktop speaker, mouse DPI setting, monitors even when asleep, my KVM, and every single port on my USB hub all leak.
