Not necessarily is Evolution. It can also be a learnt behavior. Like that time a monkey went to clean some nuts at the sea… That is animals having culture. Is way more crazy IMHO.

How about putting a cap onto inheritance?

And it mattered to the death person while they still where alive. There’s a tradition and it’s safe to assume we only change it when consent was given previously. Like some people may write in their will if they wanted a poetic or special treatment

Thanks. Sure it is. But I will call this a feature now ;)

So, which one of you is a Libra? Xddd

For some reason, my version of syncthing-fork is old and source is not even on f-droid anymore. Was there any other before catfriend1? Perhaps I downloaded APK from GitHub… Can’t recall.

Some GPLv2 projects monetize by selling: support, extension via custom features, or simply the permission for a commercial use. This is possible, and it’s what I called “the legalese package”. Imagine ffmpeg being able to charge every year any amount they want to the biggest clients, like GAFAM. Yet you’re still able to use it non commercially… To be fair, there’re some middle uses, that get the disadvantage of having to break the license or ask for permission. For example, if you create anything with ffmpeg, then as an indie dev you’d need to launch your product breaking the license or paying them… But even so, situation is manageable (e.g. ffmpeg could spare you and/ or give a 1 year permission to small businesses)

“Allow me to interject and explain the four liberties…” (Or, goto fsfe.org/freesoftware )

If I understand correctly the biggest issue for FFMPEG and other projects is not only the Google and Microsoft that use them without giving back, but their chosen License. They gave permission to corporations to do this. One of the potential ways to fix this situation, is to change the license. For example from LGPL to AGPL. And then they can sell the legalese package of allowing them to break their license. The biggest difficulty is that, as a project, they’d need consent from every past and future contributors. So, yeah. I get it. This is a mess.

It would be way more easier if more corporations donated to open source projects… There’s too much labour that’s invisible

I was thinking on hosting a static site, renting my own VPS. I always write in markdown, so pandoc would suffice (even if it were just a starting point…) Since I’d be using markdown, the content is highly transferable (e.g. when I wanted to move onto Publii, Ghost or other engine).

In your case, I’d recommend checking https://writefreely.org/

The goal is on documentation itself. There’s technical stuff that I do, combining the docs of 2 or more software pieces. These don’t have much space anywhere. At some point, I have been doing this with the assistance of AI. That’s why I started to wonder, maybe it’s not worth the effort… But that’s a negative thought I might just put aside. I am very thankful for all the inspiring and motivating answers I am getting here.

It’s been communal tradition ever since ThePirateBay got into these “DNS wars” and “Domain switching”. In the end, TPB kind of faded out. But same practice goes for many pirate sites. That’s the point :) so, be aware it’s a great way to find URLs for these o7

You can also put cork on fire, wait it to cool off and then paint you face. That’s a peaceful way to get shot. Follow me for more tips!

Time to migrate? SeaweedFS, RustFS, or Garage https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/ cover the basics and some nice features too AFAIK.

Let’s have the scientists’ and governments’ patents sold to them for pennies!! /s

Thanks. I know about the compromise, having a 24/7 box with all I want to hear. But that can’t include new songs that I am yet to discover.

In case you didn’t know, there’s Aurora OS which is immutable fedora with KDE plasma, very much like bazzite or any of the uBlue spins. I have been using it on a laptop for a while now and I am extremely happy with it.

Not a chemist myself but Gold has lots of industrial applications because it doesn’t react to many other atoms or molecules. For example, it doesn’t rust at all. Similar thing goes for platinum. Maybe we should buy the latter…

Glad to know I am not the only anticapitalist and sadomasochist reading HN.

Btw, there’s a lot of editorial work on the “Best” front page. I have switched over to visiting from https://news.social-protocols.org/upvoterate

the comment you’re responding to was another shitpost :p
