Not a lot of sources, I did find a blog post from a 3rd party contractor who did some work to get stuff upstreamed, but I cant find it right now
Only the end-users would have rights to the source under GPL, and its unlikely that someone is going to risk their job by releasing the code.
I'm not sure how FOI would work, but I dont think they just automatically get approved.
I still expect it to be done in the open, one of the things Munich got right was upstreaming all their changes, which meant that even when it was cancelled, nothing was lost. Maintaining out of tree changes is just way to much work
Properly locking down a machine just heavily restricts what you can do with it, to the point that normal things that you or I do day-to-day on our own PCs become impossible. Every time you hit a restriction its very frustrating.
I am drawing from my experience as a developer, so it might be worse for me, but I've also heard accountants in the office complaining of similar gripes with their locked down windows systems.
8 if you count her hips
I took half an hour, might have had a bit of dumb
Thanks for that info. Fortunately, I probably wont ever need to implement any form of anti-bot myself, but still good to know what works well.
Captchas are definitely getting very hard, even for non-blind users. Getting "Click on all the bicycles" and missing the 5 pixels tall bike and having to restart is very frustrating.
Out of curiosity, what are the preferred anti-bot/spam systems that work for blind users? How do they work?
Pretty unlikely that the board button and the case button are both broken, you may have a brick on your hands.
Worth testing the PSU anyway, in case only one of the voltages is broken. But you'll need a multimeter.
Are you sure you used the right number of standoffs underneigth? No shorts or anything?
On the off chance your front io buttons are broken, try bridging the contacts with a screwdriver?
Also, you may want to test your PSU by bridging the green wire to black, on the large 20 pin connector (disconnect first to be safe)
The latter, and it is good from an organisational perspective, but its never a nice experience, and for many, this will be their first real experience with a Linux.
Right now Linux is "That nerd OS", if this goes badly, for millions it could change to "That OS they forced on us at work, where I can't XYZ"
Edit: on the GPL front, GPL doesn't require that you publish your code to everyone, just to the recipients of your binaries. And you only have to give it upon request. So they definitely could keep it somewhat under wraps if they wanted to. If they are smart, they'll follow the Munich model and stick to upstreaming any changes they make.
The tablets are probably fine, its googles inability to stick with a product that drives consumers away. How do they not understand this?

Yeah, I could be wrong, maybe the blame will be attributed correctly, maybe not.
At least with Windows, most people know what its normally like at home, but thats less true for Linux.
