My take on this is that #proprietary software makers should involve themselves more with the #OpenSource components they use and contribute back to these projects instead of leeching. Also: Seemingly #JQuery is in everything

Upgrading my old 13" MacBook Pro (Early 2013, A1425) to Debian Trixie. It's a great little machine - fabulous display.
Been using this machine for a several years running a different Linux variant. I was expecting this to be a quick wipe and install exercise but I forgot about the pita Broadcom B43 wifi shenanigans required with this laptop.
Oh well. At least I can futz with it while sitting in front of the TV I guess. James May's new 'Great Explorers' series is interesting.
Btw, Broadcom, it's a cheesy wifi driver! None of this dreck needs to be proprietary. It's not that special!
Today I was victim of proprietary software crap by car manufacturers. My auto electrician has only fixed a problem with a malfunctioning window switch panel partially because part of the configuration is software blocked and I have to go to the manufacturer's dealership. With each passing day I'm happier about my decision of not buying a new car because this problem must have become a nightmare in modern cars
