Oh I see, so it should be WAFPN

What does the name mean?

Suède: nil points

Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom is top tier.

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.

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?

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.

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

There are endless protocols to build censorship-resistant secure peer to peer messaging on. The problem is that nobody uses them.

The most recent one in my memory was Veilid. Is anyone using anything built on that?

Do you think that your protocol will achieve more usage than one that was announced at DEFCON by cDc members?

You are mostly correct it’s (possible char values) ^ length.

You wrote this shit with an LLM, didn’t you?

the broadcom module is always significantly behind the kernel

Right, but if it’s not unmaintained then you only have to wait a finite amount of time before you get to update your kernel again yes?

but held packages like your kernel impact other software as well

Well… I’d be interested to hear what user-space impacts you’ve experienced from running a kernel that’s “weeks or even months behind the latest kernel .”

Do you use a browser extension for this? Can you share it? Thanks!

Ironically, I had to turn on reader mode to read his website because the black text on white background is just too harsh on my eyes. My reader mode settings have a contrast ratio of 6.16 according to the site that he links.

Remember when “Chia coin” came for our HDDs too?
