It Stands for: fully open source software As far as I know. And it describes software which is with all its components open source. But as this memes suggests there is an ongoing debate on how heigh the standards have to be in order to call something foss
Nah, FOSS stands for “free and open-source software”. There was a time before paid software was a thing, so the “free” there stands for freedom.
In a lot of ways, it means the same as open-source (access to source code and allowed to modify+redistribute it), but it’s more idealistic and political, looking to prevent software from restricting what users can do.
Here’s a little hack if you do have to use youtube:
Every ad: you swipe down, close video, restart,… After a couple of times doing that, the abuse-filter kicks in and it will just show you the video. If you keep doing that a while, ads just stop for a while as it thinks it’s being abused. 😅
Probably will stop working one day too, but still works for me today.
And once you unwrap the long capitalism box, you find out that it’s an enormous veiny dildo covered in sandpaper, glass shards, human shit and fox piss.
Ok, first time I’ll admit that there is something not getting on the “everything is a dildo, if …” - even if this thing would exist irl officially labelled as a dildo.
Once a bearded German warned us about what would happen in the future but many called him crazy, I think it’s too late to agree with him now. Welcome to the world created in the similarity of the neoliberalism of the decadent bourgeoisie.
