How many marine animals even have hands?

Thanks, I’m happy to hear it’s being worked on!

Those were the days where if you knew someone’s real name and town that they lived, you could just go and get the telephone directory for that area (the library had all of them) and look up their address and phone number. It would have to be quite a big town before you found multiple people with the same name.

Predictable, but nice to see mainstream tech media telling it how it is.

Deserter, eh? Well given that his message is that Russia is fully ready for nuclear conflict I would say that he’s doing a suspiciously good job of spreading propaganda that benefits the Russian war strategy.

Ask yourself: how many Russian deserters with top security clearances would go to the BBC to tell them Russian state secrets?

This is an SEO blog and it doesn’t really contain any information that’s useful outside of that context.

There are also parts of the post that read suspiciously like they were AI generated.

This is just an ad for proprietary software. Where is the source? The github repo just has some small utility but not the source for the whole platform.

Dark matter is not something that we really know anything about. It’s just the name given to a series of discrepancies between our cosmological models and our observations.

I’m referring to discovery, not search for end-users.

Most countries have regulations for companies to retain all internal communications for discovery purposes in the event that they are involved in a lawsuit.

How do you handle retention for discovery purposes if every email is encrypted?

what licence can we use to force any entity using a library to make their project open-source

GPL requires this, since linking with a library is considered a derivative work even if the library is dynamically loaded.

This is why the LGPL exists, which makes the library copyleft but does not extend the derivative work classification to programs linking with the library.

Interesting, but ultimately a roundabout justification for why the author chose a non-FOSS license for their startup Slack-clone built on ATProto.

They talk about “pro-labor licensing” but what they mean is pro- their -labor, not pro- anyone else’s -labor.

GPL is already the most pro-labor licensing since it respects the work of anyone who contributes in equal measure, and does not hold the “original” founding author in higher regard.

It’s really quite something to rail so unequivocally against the “fascistic mega-corps” and “autocratic corpostates” in your licensing justification blog post and then build your commercial product on top of Bluesky .

The GPL doesn’t place any restrictions on selling or profiting from GPL licensed works. It only requires that anyone distributing the work provides the recipients with the same rights under the GPL, ie. the right to view, modify and redistribute the source code.

This means that a company cannot take a GPL licensed work and turn it into a proprietary product.

GPL is the only thing standing between us and Embrace-Extend-Extinguish.

There’s a reason that “Stallman was right” is a meme in the FOSS world.

Do you think IBM wouldn’t make Red Hat completely proprietary if they had the chance? They already tried to use their customer licensing to restrict source access!

It only takes one successful proprietary product to gain mind-share and market-share and become a new de-facto standard, and then all of the original FOSS has to play catch-up and stay compatible to stay relevant.

See Jabber/XMPP for an example.

AI generated thumbnail is the first indicator that this video isn’t worth your time, and guess what, it isn’t.

Making a video about this corposhit drama is worse than the people in the video.

The post is about NixOS. The intro paragraph about Arch is just a preamble to provide the motivation for switching.
