  • Good luck trying to ban OSS next, which would criminalize basically everyone who’s ever used a browser that isn’t IE, everyone who’s ever used an Android phone or a Chromebook, everyone who’s ever used any modern audio or video codec as the bulk of those are OSS too, and would destroy both Big Data and the Cloud, both of which are primarily Linux-based, and send the US back to the web’s dark ages.

    Also, since this bill punishes people by making them spend most of their lives in prison, how are they going to lock up everyone who’s ever used Chromium or Firefox browsers, for example, or everyone who’s ever used Android or ChromeOS, which is most of the country’s population at this point, should that ban extend to a general OSS ban?

    Thanks! And technically it’s still around just under a new name - the OM System OM-series, but the camera that replaced the E-M5 is a GF2.

    Also, some people argue that the CCD in certain 4/3 DSLRs is film-like in how it captures images.

    Also, since Leica makes MFT glass, I kinda wonder why they never made any MFT bodies as their entry-level lineup while APS-C and full-frame L-mount could be their mainstream lineup and the M-mount rangefinders could be positioned as their halo products - something that Leica customers could hypothetically aspire to.





  • Based on how increasingly user-hostile Windows has been getting lately, I don’t trust it outside of a VM or outside of a second system I don’t care about if I want or need to run it baremetal for some reason, and that includes LTSC.

    At least LTSC for now seems to be spared from MS’ worst anti-user atrocities, but there’s nothing saying those SKUs won’t get screwed somehow at some point down the line.
