> People think that when you become vegan you have to give up lots of food

Well, that’s kind of the point no? You do.

I think they mean people imagine you’d give up on variety of food.

Which you also do… if we’re really being honest about it.

So, reading the documentation in the [repo](https://gitlab.opencode.de/bmi/opendesk/deployment/opendesk/...) it’s immediately made clear that you should use the Enterprise Edition for production use. (Since the German state is behind this, why not focus on totally free software for production use?)

But what really surprised me are statements like this in the README:

” Nextcloud Enterprise: openDesk uses the Nextcloud Enterprise to the build Nextcloud container image for oD EE. The Nextcloud EE codebase might contain EE exclusive (longterm support) security patches, plus the Guard app, that is not publicly available, while it is AGPL-3.0 licensed.

And

COOL Controller container image and Helm chart: Source code and chart are using Mozilla Public License Version 2.0, but the source code is not public. It is provided to customers upon request. ”

This, according with other paragraphs describing percentages of free and non-free code in certain components really makes me wonder…

Hard disagree. Sample #2 is totally the Miyazaki-vibe that is everywhere in OpenAI-generated comics. https://clevercoloringbook.com/samples/2_cartoon.png

The cartoon owl at the top has a different vibe and would probably work for the comics as well.

After seeing this example, I think this is the elevator pitch: ”We take your personal highlights and make them as generic and impersonal as possible.”

In the US at least, it would be the patent holder’s choice if they want to license their patent (in most situations, if I understand correctly). When I patent advertising on vegetables, I won’t let anyone license it.

(Sorry, article is in german, it’s about laser-engraved fruits and vegetables. I’ve seen a few in the stores around here… (Switzerland))

#metoo

It’s like when you think of something that will never exist, because it is just too absurd. However, this guy not only has an even more absurd idea, he also brings it into existence and shows why it’s a great idea to build a sustainable future!

The art(?) collective MSCHF has come up with an interesting voting game, apparently based on an Athenian custom.

From the announcement:

——

In ancient Athenian ostracism, citizens would come together once a year and vote to banish one person from the city, on pain of death, for the next 10 years.

In MSCHF Plays Venmo, the sole winner of the "popular vote" wins the prize pool.

Those who receive the "ostracism vote" get banned from the game for life.

——

Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Sounds really interesting! Just one question, do you hire non-us remote workers? (EU time zone)
