Takes a while , too much effort to keep using an OS 😅

Never said I do ! I just said my work is easier on linux , for reasons of easy setups and builds etc !

Agree , ubuntu, mint and popos are just works distros with max number of apps available , flatpak ( tho controversial in the linux community) has also given good option for just works distros to be user friendly ! My non technical family members have been using linux for years now without any issues !

Excuse me wait ? How is that possible ? Is that like a moddes OS ?

Ecactly , even though my work can be done better on a linux pc ( I am a dev) , my office has provided me with windows , since they have some group admin policy and shiz !

U dont need command line on most just works distros for average use ! My brother and my mom use linux mint and ubuntu on their PCs and it just works !

I echo this

The law also keeps it vague enough , that it says employed individual , so they could be waiting tables and this will still apply !!

They prepared a list of software that need mandatory audit , like browsers and all !

Coz what ? GDPR? If they have good intentions they need to see the web integrity api !

Basically A foss product is not exempted if an employee ( does not need to be a tech employee) contributes to a foss prod , or if a company donates to them ! So even npm packages by individual coders who are employed say.by dominos need to take audit and deliver vulnerability free code .

Just read the act then ! It keeps it vague enough to consider a person working in free time will be considered a commercial product

Please watch the video above !

Well if i am developing a product and I work for a corp or if my project is getting donation from a corp , it will be considered as a commerical project , it does not need me to be working on that product as part of my work !!

Not really most apps I have on my phone are now fdroid apps !

They consider foss products out of this requirement , only when the contributors are volunteers who are not working or are employed by a company !! Or get a corporate donation, if even one person contributing to the project is a corporate employee they need to go with the crazy rules they have laid !!

https://youtu.be/iUgAS1luxEQ a video here !

Well the attemps they made are more like drop in the ocean ! I still dont understand how FOSS in eu at least will survive this disaster , while most corps , just use foss software anyway will flourish !

I wonder if I am developing an app for lemmy and I am based in EU , am I obligated to get an external vulnerability audit done , or pay a 15.million euro fine , since I am working for a corporate with a full time job?
