Not accurate at all.

Daddy and top-dog-son want to prevent the rest from moving the media business away from fringes of the right.

The claim is that they’ll devalue the inheritance for all by making it less profitable (summary only).

Great coverage a few weeks ago on NYT’s The Daily podcast if reading isn’t your thing: https://pca.st/episode/7ff0fd47-2c1c-471e-a41f-6861322838f9

2 years plus source code and working oss backends or 10 years (and still source code).

2 years will just ensure endless forced upgrade cycles IMO.

Shawshank Redemption.

The Big Lebowski.

Also Star Trek 2.

So many great ones though.

Write to LanguageTool. They’re OSS in name only at the moment. I self-host their server, but the client is only usable on desktop and limited to web browsers without their paid version.

I’ve long been asking to be a customer, but to use their self-hosted server for privacy.

I think there’s a small but growing market for folks that want a quality grammar and spell check but don’t want data sent to the cloud.

If I could connect iOS to my LT server that’d be so rad.

Is there a reason you need a dual book instance instead of a VM or even WINE?

Unless you need direct access to hardware and if you have enough RAM, you can probably avoid dual booting altogether.

Seems that Mr. Trump wasn’t singing the same tune when it went his way in October 2016 with a certain FBI director…

Good enough? I mean it’s allowed. But it’s only good enough if a licensee decides your their goal is to make using the code they changed or added as hard as possible.

Usually, the code was obtained through a VCS like GitHub or Gitlab and could easily be re-contributed with comments and documentation in an easy-to-process manner (like a merge or pull request). I’d argue not completing the loop the same way the code was obtained is hostile. A code equivalent of taking the time (or not) to put their shopping carts in the designated spots.

Imagine the owner (original source code) making the source code available only via zip file, with no code comments or READMEs or developer documentation. When the tables are turned - very few would actually use the product or software.

It’s a spirit vs. letter of the law thing. Unfortunately we don’t exist in a social construct that rewards good faith actors over bad ones at the moment.

As someone who worked at a business that transitioned to AGPL from a more permissive license, this is exactly right. Our software was almost always used in a SaaS setting, and so GPL provided little to no protection.

To take it further, even under the AGPL, businesses can simply zip up their code and send it to the AGPL’ed software owner, so companies are free to be as hostile as possible (and some are) while staying within the legal framework of the license.

Should be much higher.

A combination of inflation, gap between workers and leaders at the company AND productivity.

50$/hr and 3 day weeks. There’s no reason to grind to make the ruling class more wealthy.

I’ve been using self-hosted Ghost for a bit and it’s a pretty well designed piece of software.

That it requires mailgun to really function well was a bit of a nuisance. But that’s a very minor nitpick that will likely change if adoption increases.
