Microblog clients, which may expect mastodon like interfaces, do this by default.
at just a glance I have some theories:
-
the project was named after the creator. Maybe they wanted it to seem more community organized
-
Food reference. Foss developers often name stuff after food, Idk why. Maybe cuz they like mangos (I do too).
-
Dodges copyright or trademark issues. Certain things, like town names (wayland is a town in the US) are essentially uncopyrightable/trademarkable, so by naming your project after those you eliminate a whole host of potential legal issues.
These are just theories though. No reason is actually given, at least not that I could find based on 30s of searching.
I find this comparison unfair becuase k3s is a much more batteries included distro than the others, coming with an ingress controller (traefik) and a few other services not in talos or k0s.
But I do think Talos will end up the lighest overall because Talos is not just a k8s distro, but also a extremely stripped down linux distro. They don’t use systemd to start k8s, they have their own tiny init system.
It should be noted that Sidero Labs is the creator of Talos Linux, which another commenter pointed out.
The FSF doesn't seem to have teeth when it comes to things like this, instead it's the SFC who intervenes.

I used to play minecraft and geometry dash via the amazon appstore, the apps come with drm.

Well, I can't read I guess.
At least I linked to the code, since the article doesn't seem to do that. The twitter thread it linked to probably does, but I can't view the replies without logging in.
Winlator is really just termux + proot + box64 + wine wrapped in a neat UI (+ controller support). You can, and people have set this up manually before winlator came along. You'll either need termux-x11 or vnc for the GUI.
Mobox is a similar project that does this automatically via a script... but I don't see a license in their github repo, plus they require the proprietary input bridge for touch controls.
Not quite a scripting language, but I highly recommend you check out cosmo for your usecase. Cosmopolitan, and/or Actually Portable Executable (APE for short) is a project to compile a single binary in such a way that is is extremely portable, and that single binary can be copied across multiple operating systems and it will still just run. It supports, windows, linux, mac, and a few BSD's.
https://cosmo.zip/pub/cosmos/bin/ — this is where you can download precompiled binaries of certain things using cosmo.
From my testing, the APE version of python works great, and is only 34 megabytes, + 12 kilobytes for the ape elf interpreter.
In addition to python, cosmopolitan also has precompiled binaries of:
And a few more, like tclsh, zsh, dash or emacs (53 MB), which I'm pretty sure can be used as an emacs lisp intepreter.
And it should be noted these may require the ape elf interpeter, which is 12 kilobytes, or the ape assimilate program, which is 476 kilobytes.
EDIT: It also looks like there is an APE version of perl, and the full executable is 24 MB.
EDIT again: I found even more APE/cosmo binaries:
Fork of the older warsow, open source movement shooter. Think quake.
Sadly, it seems to be dead on steam.
In my experience, best with science, math, and technology stuff:
But I've found it to be very good for finding scientific articles.
