  • I commented on the cross-post, but I thought it might be interesting for others in this thread. The product basically fits the requirements very well:

    Unfortunately, the mouse is only sold in a keyboard/mouse bundle, but the “CHERRY STREAM DESKTOP RECHARGE” bundle might be something you would be interested in. Both keyboard and mouse have replaceable batteries and these suckers are built to last. The mouse is little bigger, so def. have something in your hand and it has super silent buttons. I especially like the type-feel of the keyboard. I am normally totally I to mechanical keyboards, but I can totally tolerate typing on it. 😉

    Edit: Oh, and I forgot. You can recharge them with a USB-C cable. They also use off-the-shelve NiMH rechargeable batteries that you can get almost everywhere if you want to replace it in the future.

    (Disclaimer: I work for Cherry, but IMHO it is still a very good product for the price. )







  • I think you got that one wrong.

    Open source is not a license. Open source literally just means that the source is openly available. It does not include the right for you to reuse or change any of the source.

    That’s why most of the time, people are talking about “Free Open Source Software” (FOSS) when they think of openly licensed source code.

    That’s why you can publish your project on e.g. Github (= open source) but if you don’t add a license statement, your work is still protected by an “all rights reserved copyright”. (= not free)

    Anyhow, I would not necessarily deem a project OSS, just because the used language is readable by default. To me, OSS needs at least the developers intention to make it openly available.
