That was a frustrating read. Dude gets screwed by Microsoft who effectively steals his code and rebrands it as theirs and then he goes on to talk about why he prefers MIT.

If you throw a spinning chainsaw into a room of bunnies, the chainsaw is not at fault for the bloodbath, you are.

That’s understandable, though one of the other commenters suggested the LGPL which might make for a good fit for your case. Here’s a comparison with the other two if you’re interested.

The AGPL is just the GPL with extra rules requiring sharing the code even if you expose it exclusively via a service.

Ooh, yes for for this case, the LGPL would be a good middle-ground for OP’s concerns.

A simple comparison between the two via interoperable-europe.ec.europa.eu says that they’re almost identical save for one clause around trademarks:

But I’d be remiss if I didn’t advocate for a license that better protected your project from corporate theft. The AGPL and GPL are excellent licenses that protect your work and that of the community from companies that would copy it, improve it exclusively for themselves and then ship your work exclusively in binary form:

“Small” steps, because the necessary big steps like insulating homes and rebuilding our road infrastructure for flood resistance is work the state must do… and they’re too busy throwing old ladies in prison for holding up signs and splashing paint.

That’s an excellent tutorial, but the bit about blocking legitimate web crawlers should be a little higher up in the article. I read all the way down and was ready to try it out when I encountered that deal-breaker.

They paved everything and filled the streets with monster trucks that park on every possible surface. Children are prisoners in their own homes. None of this should be surprising.

I agree 100% but would point out that simply having healthier options available at reasonable prices is only half the solution. The other half is time. With much of the working class working 9-10hr days and commuting for an additional 2hrs, that doesn’t leave a lot of time for the gym or cooking healthy meals. …and that’s for those lucky enough to be working only one job.

This is excellent framing. What’s terrifying is that the side offering it is the one betting on “burn the climate”.

Not unless those AC units are combined with rooftop solar. Most schools have massive amounts of space on the roof, so solar should be cheap and potentially even profitable to install.

Also way cheaper, though the school would have to ventilate over night lest it just become a slow-bake oven.

There’s absolutely connections between them, though most of their videos seem to be bending over backwards to draw lines between some of them. The problem is in the presentation: insisting on drawing so many connections is unnecessary, especially when some of them are so tenuous.

I love the idea of DDN, but so many of the videos are just the same dude spinning connections between different parties until it’s just a big ball of red yarn pinned to a wall. This, coupled with the spooky music and those ridiculous title cards (it’s always EXPOSED!) I just can’t with them.

For those on Mastodon, the #CarryShitOlympics hashtag has some real gems in this style.

Ooh, that’s very encouraging, thank you! At least there’s hope that Triodos will work then.

Stories like this keep framing this as if it’s some kind of surprising bug. This is literally what they’re designed to do.

Exciting! I’d like to switch to /e/OS but I don’t know if doing so would mean my banking app stops working. Do you have any experience with your own bank app on this OS?

I started using it 'cause I was working with a lot of Linux nerds and they convinced me to try it out. I liked the politics of the GPL and the potential in the Free ecosystem.

25 years later I refuse to use anything else. Windows & Mac are built to take options away from you, to force you do use your hardware their way, and I hate it. My machine does exactly what I want it to, with hundreds of keyboard shortcuts and a solid UI built atop transparent subsystems. Windows ties my hands while pushing ads and AI into my eyeballs. Mac only “Just Works” if you’re using it precisely the way that want you to and exclusively with other iShit. No thanks.

Thank you for this. It’s positively infuriating the way the left keeps eating itself. There is no way the establishment will let socialism take root in the Democratic party, but there’s real value in moving the Overton window to the left enough to allow people to see either the benefits of socialist policies or (more likely) the opposition to it.

The whole “fuck these guys, they’re not revolutionary enough” is a great way to ensure that nothing ever gets done.

We should absolutely have red lines though. Some of these candidates already cross them, and even more candidates may be all talk. But shitting all over anyone who dares to do anything other than launch an unpopular resistance is not constructive.
