Lots of companies are using open source software, more of them all the time. Most are hoping to save money. The next stated reasons made us chuckle:

  • To reduce vendor lock-in
  • Open standards and interoperability
  • Stable technology with long-term community support
  • To reduce development or maintenance costs

Number two sort of makes sense, but as for the rest, yeah, good luck with those.

Why is it risible that using FOSS would reduce vendor lock-in?

Having experienced Flatpak bloat and seeing your posts here, I might just have been converted. The Flatpak integration on my distro is neat though. But I already use Aptitude for most of my package management needs, so I guess adding AM to my toolbox doesn't seem too bad.

For regular apps? Like a media player?

She's a terrible person, but saying she's a one-hit wonder is unfair. Here's a list of famous and acclaimed authors who only wrote one novel. And she wrote several, even if all in the same series. Criticize for for her true faults: being a hateful hag that makes the world a worse place and isn't worth the O2 she consumes.

 

It's pages and pages of this. Maybe you want to restrict who can log in and create repositories.

 

I’m versed enough in SQL and RDBMS that I can put things in the third normal form with relative ease. But the meta seems to be NoSQL. Backends often don’t even provide a SQL interface.

So, as far as I know, NoSQL is essentially a collection of files, usually JSON, paired with some querying capacity.

  1. What problem is it trying to solve?
  2. What advantages over traditional RDBMS?
  3. Where are its weaknesses?
  4. Can I make queries with complex WHERE clauses?
