Yes, exactly. That’s why corporations prefer permissive licenses. A good example of this is Minix being used by Intel ME. Had a more restrictive copyleft license been used then it’s possible some of this could have been avoided (or at least Intel would have had to use something besides Minix or made their own option from scratch). https://itsfoss.com/fact-intel-minix-case/
It seems like you think you think GPL makes it harder to maintain because the changes are “contributed back.” That’s not the case. The changes just have to be made available and licensed under GPL. In that sense they are “contributed back”, yes, but it’s not that they must be submitted as patches/pull requests.
There have been cases (see Nexuiz) that the copyright holder of a GPL project has accepted money from a company to allow them to use it.
Isn’t this Qt’s model as well? Many projects take this approach. GPL for everyone or pay to use it without copylefting your code base.
I think some people think to themselves that there is value in something being easy to understand and/or something being as permissive as possible. Personally, I don’t see why anyone wouldn’t use at least LGPL for new projects.
Oh, I’m sorry, I wasn’t aware I had to forego all traditional social media applications to use federated ones. 🙄
What video? 99.99479% of my Discord experience is text.
People use Discord for a lot of things. A lot of people use it to stream and watch streams.
Pat someone like $250 million to shoot it from outside the arena.
This conversation has been about people who fork software to continue working on it without bigoted leaders in charge, in what way is that not using the software?
The age gap under discussion was 20 and 27, not 18 and 40.
For the curious, down votes on stuff native to an instance that doesn’t have down votes just won’t federate the down votes. So essentially, any down votes anyone sees is from their own instance.
Especially considering that Epstein had his hands in 4chan stuff.
you don’t think it’s creepy when some 40 year old is dating 18 year olds?
The post said 27 and 20.
You’ll live.

There is no best way to start. Start with what is fun and chase what is fun. A lot of very bad advice is given about supposed ways to start learning programming that can poison your experience (like people say garbage collected languages are bad because you won’t “appreciate” manual memory management), but that’s all bullshit. Learning any language will make you better at learning other languages.
I started with Java, I think it’s fine for starting. I think Python is a great way to start because there’s a bunch of content for getting started with it. But ultimately, start with whatever you find fun enough to keep you interested and pushing through.
Why do you not use AGPL? This is not a criticism, it’s a real question. I technically have open source code, but it’s more like half baked (even that’s generous) hobby projects I slapped a license on. My philosophy is to use MIT if something is small and trivial (e.g., smaller than the size of other licenses lol), which most of my code falls into lol. Other stuff I use AGPL or LGPL for.
