Hey, I think you aren't really understanding my stance here. Please see comment https://lemdro.id/comment/22830764

Hey, you seem to think I actually like this situation - but I don't.

I actually fully agree, but the reality is that the original post is not representing anything meaningful for moving people off of Matlab -> Octave. The tweet is over-dramatic and also written by AI.

I think it's worth being critical instead of falling into a circle jerk here. Octave has a ways to go before it can kill Matlab. I'd love to see it happen!

it's hard to hide that kind of thing in open source software, and grapheneos is open source. I'm not sure this is a valid argument here

[–] cole 2 points 1 month ago

yeah, I don't think people really understand what I was saying.

I love Octave, I hate Matlab. but the price isn't high enough to cause companies to shift in any meaningful way (especially in aerospace).

The twitter post feels like an AI written fever dream of Matlab dying (it isn't x, it's y).

Grad students have license provided by their university, research lab, or company. Doesn't mean I like it...

I think it's a little insulting. When I was a student I got Matlab free through my university.

At a job, your employer pays for Matlab if they expect you to use it.

Frankly, I hate Matlab. But it is silly to act like the cost of an individual license is much of a factor, that cost is so little compared to your salary most companies do not care

grapheneos runs on the Linux kernel, although I understand the distaste for binary driver blobs

I've used MyInsta to disable reels

nice to have that sort of freedom, since the majority of companies use some Microsoft products
