It is. Let's look at activitypub, a protocol that allows decentralised services to talk with each other. The protocol is auditable, viewable and modifiable by everyone aka open source.

Everyone can participate in it's development.

Closed source on the other hand is not auditable, viewable or modifiable unless you are part of the organisation. Only those part of the organisation can participate in it's development.

Furthermore the open source nature allows to fork by anyone for whatever reasons. Closed source doesn't allow that.

Changes in a source can affect everyone involved. In close source you can only assume what changed, see YouTube as a recent example or algorithm changes on Twitter or not being able to use your favourite software.

So yes open source is political.

Mhm... I guess you need to look up and try to understand the tolerance paradox.

Then perhaps you understand that the right and the left are not even remotely similar.

Also

The Nazis weren't bad because of their views? Dude they literally gassed and exterminated huge swathes of people because in their view those people are unclean and bad. How is that not bad or outright evil?!

Well we are sadly far from the communist utopia though.

So I have my Amiga 600 enhanced with a Furia EC020, running Workbench 3.2.3 from an internal CF Card.

Now I want to copy archives of software from my external CF Card i plugged into a PCMCIA Adapter, onto my internal drive.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, and its always when it comes to files larger than 100k. When I try to do the copying via Workbench I get a "Seek Failure" message, when I try to unarchive via lha I get corrupted files / crc errors.

I also get those errors when I, somehow, successfully copied an 540kb lha archive from my external CF Card to my RAM Disk to the target drawer and then try to unarchive it.

On each and every Partition I have I've set the MaxTransfer to 0x1FE00 but that didn't help.

Do you guys know anything that could help this situation?

edit:

So through persistent trying whatever came to my mind (including replacing the compactflash.device and driver) I am now able to transfer all of my whdload archives sans one (Pinball Fantasies).

One Problem down, another one to go (setting up my ethernet plipbox so that I can access the local and the internet)

 

A half hour essay about exactly what it says on the tin: thought terminating clichés (it's not that deep, it can't be helped,...) anti-intellectualism (they were blue) and propaganda (shutting someone off rebutting you, realigning cognitive dissonance)

 

Hi Gang,

I recently bought myself an Amiga 600 HD with 1 Meg Trapdoor expansion, 8 MB Fast Ram (reduced to 4 Meg) and a Wireless PCMCIA card as I wanted to move software easier from my PC to the Amiga or even access AmiNets FTP / browse Gemini etc.


I have installed prism2v2 (also set my ssid and wpa2 passphrase) but

wirelessmanager prism2.device VERBOSE

doesn't show my Wifi Network at all, instead some random Vodafone hotspots and a totally foreign network.

I tried setting my Fritz!Box into 2.4 GHz mode + 5 GHz mode, tinkered with WLAN Security (from wpa2/wpa3, to wpa/wpa2, to nothing) but no dice.

I also tried using a hotspot with my phone (also tried 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) but no dice as well.

I'm at my wits end, do you guys know something I could try?

I can assure you this retro Battlestation is fully operational.

It also includes, not depicted or easily seeable, a sd2iec adapter, an Exos V3 module and a 154i floppy disk.

Time to play some Rainbow Arts classics!

And Bubble Bobble
