I see, so what is the difference between the two?
I’ve been thinking of OSS and source available as interchangeable. But now it kind of seems to me that free software is interchangeable with open source software. Is it just a matter of branding?

You maybe replied before seeing my edit, but I actually quoted that article in the edit.
Doesn’t FOSS refer to software this is both free and open source? Not a union of free software and open source software? My understanding is that if a piece of software is not both open and free then it is not FOSS.
EDIT:
From the wiki page:
Free and open-source software (FOSS) is software that is available under a license that grants the right to use, modify, and distribute the software, modified or not, to everyone free of charge. The public availability of the source code is, therefore, a necessary but not sufficient condition. FOSS is an inclusive umbrella term for free software and open-source software.

I’m out of the loop, what’s the issue with the current Nixos maintainers?
That scan only scans your hard drive once an hour.
To check rss feeds for new podcast episodes, you need to go to the settings of each podcast and schedule it to scan the podcast feed.
VC’s and companies like OpenAI have done a really good job of propagandizing AI (LLMs). People think it’s magical and the future, so there’s money in saying you have it.
Yeah I just saw that, forgot/didn’t realize they switched. Thanks.
As far as I know, SteamOS is already based on Debian. The dev is complaining about users trying to install steam on their own Ubuntu installs, not SteamOS.
EDIT: nvm, it used to be Debian, but the newer versions for steamdeck are based on Arch. Apparently they wanted rolling updates so that it would be easier to push out changes more frequently.
Isn’t SteamOS based on Debian, not Arch?

You didn’t write the kernel, write the libraries, or write the user space applications, did you? No, Linux is the product of a collaborative group of strangers working towards the same goal, a goal that largely doesn’t include any considerations for profit. You haven’t pulled yourself up by your boot straps to make Linux. Hell, even Linus didn’t do that. It’s the product of thousands of people working on it over decades. It’s not capitalist, it’s not individualistic, Linux is communal.
And you’re able to transcode 4k with that? 1080p with hardware offload isn’t surprising, but 4k really requires some extra horsepower.
EDIT: Maybe I’m wrong, seems like quicksync even on a Celeron has gotten pretty good.
I don’t know for certain, but I think you’ll ultimately have to decide between either low power consumption or 4k transcoding. I doubt you’ll be able to achieve both.
Get a raspberrypi (or similar sbc), second hand computer, or a NAS and host it yourself. You’ll have to pay for hardware and power, but assuming you already have an Internet connection, that’s it.
I love ABS, I use it for both podcasts and audiobooks.
