You could easily take controversial of all time by going, “Linux is overrated”

[–] [email protected] 29 points 10 months ago

I immediately felt my heart rate soar just reading it so yeah probably

I heard if you say that phrase in front of a mirror three times in a row, all the Lemmy servers go down all at once

What is FOSS?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago

Free open source software

[+] [email protected] -9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It Stands for: fully open source software As far as I know. And it describes software which is with all its components open source. But as this memes suggests there is an ongoing debate on how heigh the standards have to be in order to call something foss

[–] [email protected] 19 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Nah, FOSS stands for "free and open-source software". There was a time before paid software was a thing, so the "free" there stands for freedom.

In a lot of ways, it means the same as open-source (access to source code and allowed to modify+redistribute it), but it's more idealistic and political, looking to prevent software from restricting what users can do.
