  • Are people in the US aware that they are now definitely a rogue state, or is this fact covered up by the usual patriotism somehow?

    Jump

  • They don't ever browse the internet?They never watch tv?And they never have conversations with somebody who has?

    I'd assume the average american has a rough idea of what's going on. You'd have to try pretty hard to avoid it.

    Of course people are going to prioritise their daily issues and the things that directly affect them, but don't pretend that nobody ever gets spare time. There wouldn't be multi-billion dollar media companies if that were the case.

    It just seems like people prefer media consumption / escapism over education.

  • Do some guys start humming/making noise around women to not frighten them?

  • Yes! Another one is 'the sniff'.There's been so many times when I walk past somebody and they do that weird outward sniff thing, like they want me to know they're there.

  • Some ideas 💡 (not mine)

  • Distrusting services from a country due to their government is not xenophobia.It's the same as avoiding chinese services because of their national policies.

    I'd still happily welcome american and chinese people into my country.

    Non-US is a start for now though, because they currently have the most control over the internet.Plus the US government is currently exceptionally hostile to those who aren't US citizens, so I have little reason to trust that they won't abuse me or my data.

  • What's with the move to MIT over AGPL for utilities?

    Jump

  • I guess I forgot to mention that those platforms usually require you to sign NDA's that prevent you from releasing any code that references their SDK.This makes it impossible to license your entire project as GPL/AGPL, as you would be breaking the NDA.

  • Using a GPL library will require you to re-license your entire project as GPL, regardless of whether you made a change or not.

    LGPL is a bit better, because it allows you to dynamically link the library. But you're required to provide a copy of source for the library, and any users must be able to swap the built library with their own copy.

    Eg; you can use an AGPL-licensed .dll in your closed-source windows program, because users can swap that .dll easily.

    You can't do the same for a ps5 game because users aren't able to replace any files that the game uses.

  • If you're developing software for a platform that doesn't allow users to replace dynamic libraries (game consoles, iOS, many embedded/commercial systems), you won't be able to legally use any GPL or AGPL libraries.

    While I strongly agree with the motives behind copyleft licenses, I personally never use them because I've had many occasions where I was unable to use any available library for a specific task because they all had incompatible licenses.

    I release code for the sole purpose of allowing others to use it. I don't want to impose any restrictions on my fellow developers, because I understand the struggle it can bring.

    Even for desktop programs, I prefer MIT or BSD because it allows others to take snippets of code without needing to re-license anything.

    Yes I understand that means anyone can make a closed-source fork, but that doesn't bother me.If I wanted to sell it I might care, but I would have used a different license for a commercial project anyway.

  • Thinking on switching to linux

  • Getting everyone's basic needs met is more of a centre-left ideology.Many centre-right parties believe in things like public healthcare, because it has a net-benefit to the economy.

    Centrists don't sit in the middle of every issue or make an exact 50/50 compromise on everything. That's a really poor strawman argument from someone who clearly doesn't understand global politics.

    I guess you're confused with people in the U.S who think having views somewhere in-between those of democrats and republicans makes you a centrist.That U.S-specific 'centrism' is really just right wing politics.

  • Guess I've been living under a rock or something because I had to look up what 1488 meant.I still don't fully understand though... Is this something that a lot of people recognise as a nazi / white supremacist symbol, or is it more of a niche reference?

  • Ughh I fucking hate when this happens.I get that you can't load everything at once, but put some placeholder stuff there so the link I'm about to click doesn't shift halfway down the page a millisecond before I click.

  • Ah yes, because you absolutely must hate and dehumanise everyone who shares a different belief to you. You aren't allowed to speak to or be friendly to anyone who has shared shitty views in the past, because how else could we possibly know that you don't share 100% of their opinions?

    You're free to limit your communication to only those who share your views, if that's what you find comfortable. But there can be many mutually-benefical reasons to befriend those who you dislike.

    Anyway, I'm about done with this conversation, as I don't believe either of us will come out of it with a different view.

    Feel free to get the last word in if that helps you sleep easier. Seeing that you replied to a comment that's almost a week old, I wouldn't be surprised if you do.

  • Apple only allowed browsers on ios to use webkit, so they quite literally were holding back browser development.

    This has only recently been changed, and it appears you can only use an alternate browser engine in the EU, so they are still holding back mobile web browser development for people in most countries.

  • the perfect browser

  • It's not a viral copyleft license, so you're free to use the source code without giving anything back.

    This has pros and cons over something like GPL, but people like to circlejerk GPL and pretend it's always the best option 100% of the time.For situations where you have to sign an NDA and are unable to release source code (eg; console game dev), MIT and BSD licensed projects are a godsend.

  • Sure. Lets just ignore ladybird/serenity and the positive impact Andreas is making because he didn't accept a commit that changed a pronoun for a system account on the operating system he wrote from a 'he' to a 'they'.

    And lets ignore that it's been changed since. People 'never' change, so lets fuck up their entire career and public image for life.

    Yeah no thanks.

    If you think that comment outweighs all the positive impacts Andreas is making, that's your prerogative. I'm not interested in holding everyone up to such high expectations.

    If that makes me a simp in your eyes, so be it.

  • If you read the commit, you would see it was referring to a built-in non-human account.In no way did he assume the gender of any people, so who cares if he referred to a built-in account of his operaring system as 'he' instead of 'they'?A more accurate description would have been 'it'.

    As somebody who also identifies as LGBT, I don't want or need your permission to feel anything.I don't feel guilty for not participating in the cancel culture of the internet.
