  • Rust Coreutils Continues Working Toward 100% GNU Compatibility, Proving Trolls Wrong

    Jump

  • Yeah I don't toxicity either it helps nobody. But if you would allow me to be a little vulgar, here's a quick attempt to aggregate why the legal side of GPL has been important:

    Search engines take a bunch of time and I gotta keep parenting.

    Also* it took decades for GNU/Linux to accrue enough momentum to get to a point where it is today: a commercially viable cloud powerhouse. It didn't get here by letting anybody/everybody just do what they want with the software. These small flights accumulate to protect an entire ecosystem of beloved software, which is why many of us feel the need to use the only voice we have. I don't think for sure that anybody wants to replace Linux with a permission version but the benefits for greedy corporations to see that happen is pretty clear. Especially when people are willing to start doing that for free

  • I think the biggest point you may be missing here is if you start re-writing GNU/Linux (which is what uutils is the first step in doing) with an MIT license, you start making reasons for commercial entities that contribute back out of obligation to stop supporting upstream free software. This is a no brainer to me. As to whether or not anybody should stop writing uutils, the answer is **obviously not. ** The license, however, is free game for scrutiny

  • I wrote this before I realized that you don't actually care about the answer, you just want people to shut up about it, so sorry. If you want somebody to do the work you'll have to do it yourself now. You've been given plenty of examples in this thread already

  • It's not about any of us enjoying the license*, it's about preserving the integrity of free software. It's both flattering and disturbing that core utils is popular enough that people have decided to give them away to anyone who would want to take them without ever contributing back. If those people are found out there will be no legal recourse. Those Rust rewrites would inevitably be made proprietary without any credit for the authors.

  • Canadian here. The only thing being terrorized by Indians are our wallets. There are too many delicious restaraunts.

  • Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre wins leadership review with 87.4% approval

    Jump

  • A literal loser who got his seat spoon fed back to him is the conservative messiah? A smart mouthed career politician who hasn't worked a day in his life for those hard working "salt of the earth" trad family types always blows my mind. I'm tired of the yapping. Given the current economical state I'd always choose the career banker over this.

    What's up with FUTO?

    Jump

  • It is a point of contention if the spirit of writing an anonymous report while saying any gosh dang thing you want about somebody is in the spirit of ending their career or whatever. DeVault decided it was necessary to shit things up as much as he could /after/ the FSF had made their decision because he and whoever decided that it wasn't good enough for them.

    Jump

  • Nope. I already don't listen to Drew and moved my code and donations from Sourcehut to Codeberg. You can do the work of cross referencing his claims, if you'd like.

    Jump

  • Its Drew DeVault. After his agressive and frankly unnecessary smear campaign of RMS where he took as much out of context as he could, and not being that much better himself (https://dmpwn.info/), I feel like any hot take the guy has needs to be taken with a grain of salt. If he doesn't like something, he crusades.

  • Do we really consider people starting infights as NATO members? There may not be anything written on paper but it feels like the answer should be obvious.

  • You could also just use a USB drive or even a CDRW drive 🤓 Imagine a CD with dotfiles sharpied onto it like its 2001
