  • I think OSS is great, but it’s mainly suitable for a specific class of software. Specifically: software that everyone needs and where there is no point in having a lot of different implementations.

    Tell me you don’t understand OSS without telling me you don’t understand OSS.

  • Sugarplums aren’t plums (the stonefruit) either. “Plum”, in ye olde days, meant any small dried fruit, mainly raisins (see also: plum pudding). Sugarplums are small hard candies, so-called because they are made of sugar, and approximately the size of plums(raisins).

    Fun fact: “true currants” (the Ribes plant and fruit) aren’t related to the original currant. The OG currant is the Zante currant or “raisin of Corinth”. It’s a small grape that was grown in Greece (predominantly in Zante, close enough to Corinth to be rebranded) which were dried and exported. Outside of Greece, “Corinth” morphed into “currant” over time, and a different local plant, with berries that look similar when dried, began to be called by the same name as the imported “currant”.
