I have been looking for a sudoku app which allows me to use different symbols rather than numbers because sometimes the numbers themselves confuse me, so using random symbols helps to keep them arbitrary. After years of waiting I submitted a feature request for Open Sudoku and a couple of weeks later it was implemented. Years of waiting, a few weeks waiting after asking, just amazing. Open Source software is definitely the future, and the communities around Open Source project, while a little variable, are absolutely outstanding.
Open source is the modern marvel that nobody talks about. Like the industrial revolution or the building of the pyramids. I know it's preaching to the choir on lemmy. Open source made the 21st century digital revolution.
Sometimes I wonder how much the average person can comprehend the scale of what has been accomplished over the past few decades. I'm sure they attribute it to the power of the corporations' drive for profit. None of that would have happened without the combined effort of people around the world building out one software library or application at a time. There's a behemoth underneath the shiny corporate tech products that is the real achievement.
Some say, born to late to yadda born to soon to whatever. Guy, we have lived in very interesting times. You just haven't been looking. We've lived through the middle of something incredible. I'm sure Jim Ramses was super annoyed at another brick to haul back in 10000BC so the pharaoh can have his stupid tomb or whatever. He wasn't thinking, they're going to be nuts over this stuff in a few millennia.
That being said, I think open source is facing existential trials in the near future.
It's hard to even convey how very true this is.
Basically all of network infrastructure depends on open libraries. All of the most widely used cryptography standards are open source. There was a period when basically every server on the internet was an Ubuntu/Apache stack. The Internet Protocol itself is open, and would not function otherwise.
Open source is the Internet. The Internet is open source.
Could not agree more. Fuck AI.
I've seen open source software devs fix niche little bugs I reported within hours of reporting it. Feels good.
How do you use the symbols?
In the settings you can change which symbol set is in use. For example you can use Japanese kanji numbers replacing the Roman numerals. The numerals at the bottom of the screen on the keypad also change to match, so you just press the corresponding button. You can also use a few others and it is a really nice if niche feature.
By hand.
