Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom is top tier.

How many marine animals even have hands?

Those were the days where if you knew someone’s real name and town that they lived, you could just go and get the telephone directory for that area (the library had all of them) and look up their address and phone number. It would have to be quite a big town before you found multiple people with the same name.

I made my own Quake skin for my clan!

I’m referring to discovery, not search for end-users.

Most countries have regulations for companies to retain all internal communications for discovery purposes in the event that they are involved in a lawsuit.

How do you handle retention for discovery purposes if every email is encrypted?

You forgot to link the article.

Not a single mention that Mozilla acquired an ad company, tried to put user-profiling functionality in the browser for ad networks to use, changed their ToS to remove the part that says they don’t sell your data and partnered with a sketchy “data protection” service that it turned out was owned by the same person as some people-finder data-brokers.

Maybe if we want an open source project to be the bastion of private AI that respects your data and doesn’t surveil you, as Anil suggests, perhaps it should be a company that we still trust?

what licence can we use to force any entity using a library to make their project open-source

GPL requires this, since linking with a library is considered a derivative work even if the library is dynamically loaded.

This is why the LGPL exists, which makes the library copyleft but does not extend the derivative work classification to programs linking with the library.

Interesting, but ultimately a roundabout justification for why the author chose a non-FOSS license for their startup Slack-clone built on ATProto.

They talk about “pro-labor licensing” but what they mean is pro- their -labor, not pro- anyone else’s -labor.

GPL is already the most pro-labor licensing since it respects the work of anyone who contributes in equal measure, and does not hold the “original” founding author in higher regard.

It’s really quite something to rail so unequivocally against the “fascistic mega-corps” and “autocratic corpostates” in your licensing justification blog post and then build your commercial product on top of Bluesky .

The GPL doesn’t place any restrictions on selling or profiting from GPL licensed works. It only requires that anyone distributing the work provides the recipients with the same rights under the GPL, ie. the right to view, modify and redistribute the source code.

This means that a company cannot take a GPL licensed work and turn it into a proprietary product.

GPL is the only thing standing between us and Embrace-Extend-Extinguish.

There’s a reason that “Stallman was right” is a meme in the FOSS world.

Do you think IBM wouldn’t make Red Hat completely proprietary if they had the chance? They already tried to use their customer licensing to restrict source access!

It only takes one successful proprietary product to gain mind-share and market-share and become a new de-facto standard, and then all of the original FOSS has to play catch-up and stay compatible to stay relevant.

See Jabber/XMPP for an example.

Note that the above article was posted 1 day before the article in the OP, which means the “journalist” at cybersecuritynews.com is not keeping up with the news.

This has already been debunked.

“I only sleep for 2 to 4 hours a night”

The post is about NixOS. The intro paragraph about Arch is just a preamble to provide the motivation for switching.

Did you miss the actual joke of the piece?

What GPU/CPU did you go for to fit into that budget?
