  Clippy would never promote a religion. Clippy just wanted to help.

  GPLv2 says you must license any derived code as the same license . True, unless the license is “GPLv2 or later”. Then anyone can upgrade it to GPLv3.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought Fennec stopped getting updates

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fedora Will Allow AI-Assisted Contributions With Proper Disclosure & Transparency⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If one wants to avoid software with AI code then being aware which MRs need replacing helps. However, accepting it encourages it more and makes it less fesible that you could prune all the MRs written in part by AI. Disclosing it will become worthless if it becomes the norm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MegaMek, a libre clone of BattleTech, a sci-fi themed boardgame-style battlefield strategy game, has a new release, with new features, UI/UX improvments and bugfixes.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Upgrading code license from GPLv2 to GPLv3 for 2 of 3 related programs. One was already v3.

  Replacing media licenses from GPL to a more appropriate Creative Commons but NC makes a more restrictive. That makes it a downgrade in terms of user freedom.

  Thanks, I do.

  I used to give the benefit of the doubt but when there are bad insensitives in play then perhaps this saying of wisdom can, unfortunately, be naïve.

  I’m loving it

  Calling it, next update includes forced arbitration clause for accidental bricking.

  Media covinced people that it was coming and it didn’t - my understanding of the argument.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework supporting far-right racists?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I may not like who everyone chooses to represent themselves in government… but the government actually reflecting the people proportionally would still be a good thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework supporting far-right racists?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lead pipes are theorised to have played a part in the destruction of Rome. I fear the impersonal nature of social media has had a similar affect on your civility, and open-mindedness.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework supporting far-right racists?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Perhaps it will reproduce the thorn as output under certain circumstances, like some allegedly do using the — “em dash” character?

  If that’s staggering you should see how much more I don’t know, bumface.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework supporting far-right racists?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Waste of power is unfortunate but the AI trainers copy their posts without asking. I’d sooner put the blame of those doing the computational work, or everyone for allowing them to do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework supporting far-right racists?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that’s someone else (if you were unaware).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework supporting far-right racists?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Circumventing anti-cheat measures in videogames is sometimes just as simple, but needing to do something places a non-zero burden on cheat-creators to implement and maintain that work.

  It’s not a perfect counter, it’s a hurdle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework supporting far-right racists?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a barrier to entry. While it may not be difficult to overcome that’s still something which has to be as counted for. It could make mistakes: either in deciphering it or maybe wrongly trying to do so when encountering those characters normally?

  Why Gofer when Gemini?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Open Printer is a fully open-source inkjet with DRM-free ink and no subscriptions⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m biased towards all software being open sourced.

  Certificate marks look potentially useful if many more people cared about the value of open source (software freedom). People who do care probably already know common licenses, and custom licenses do not inspire any confidence (law ain’t easy).

  Itt’s difficult to tell when people are internationally misleading others saying “open source” because ev ever n many devs just say it to mean you can see the code. Some would sincerely, without ill-intent, call Unreal Engine open source. Would certificate marks promote an understanding?

  Trademark is for customers to kniw who made a thing, not how it works or what you do with it.

  To authors of works getting compensated for sharing their efforts. So here it’s a video content on a website, but also any other works on any other protocol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indeed updated terms: Forced Arbitration & bundling of consent⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Binding arbitration” = “we’re taking away your right to sue us”

  Not something they should be allowed to do, just because being sued for illegal activities is expense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google says adblockers caused YouTube views count to drop - this is what adblockers told us really happened⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Paying to access content makes a lot more sense that hoping someone willingly watches an advert on their own hardware.

  An indirect, alternate could be universal basic income - which makes it easier for people to choose less profitable options.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is that real or parody?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Given the bad incentives on parties from our two party system then even Greens would eventually become bad (unless they managed to fix the voting system they just won on…).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Samsung brings ads to US fridges⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Innovation” used to mean better prices and/or better products. Adding adverts to a product you already own isn’t innovation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Was hoping we’d stop all that after the Queen died. Doesn’t feel the same saying “King”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Campaigners urge EU to mandate 15 years of OS updates⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Microsoft is so wealthy they could do that, and would even support such legislation if it could hinder their competitors such as smaller Linux distributions.
