>aggressive stance SFC takes with busybox GPL violations I would hardly call enforcing their license an "aggressive stance". When a company enforces their right against those that violate the terms of their…
I can't say I understand why you think freedom of information and privacy are mutually exclusive.
I realize I'm not your target user-base, (I browse with no-script and don't own any social media accounts) but you should know that without javascript to load your fonts the default "cursive" font for most people is…
Where I live you can walk into a shop, buy a smart phone, then pop in a sim card and be off. Can you not do this in the US? You don't pay any monthly service and I don't see how the carrier you have chosen to buy a sim…
I think that is opening up a can of worms I would rather not see opened. Technically caching could be seen as copyright infringement. Quite a few ISP's run transparent proxies for caching and technically every time you…
If it was licensed under the "normal" GPL, then no, if it was released under the AGPL then yes.
This may seem like a stupid little thing, but I particularly love what they have done with GNU Screen, which is now called Byobu on Ubuntu. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Byobu
You are correct about the AGPL, just be careful with wording it like "everything that it touches". Yeah, sorry. I think that was a poor choice of words on my part. For instance, if you have a website that uses AGPL code…
Does this mean that as soon as I run something on a network (or just the internet?) I am required to push my changes back upstream immediately? Warning: If any of the following is incorrect, I would really appreciate…
Quite an amusing anecdote. On one hand, it conjures up pictures of a real slimeball, the typical "snake oil salesman". On the other, I get the impression he is a really charismatic individual. It certainly takes some…
Something I think which is worth adding under "Emacs Squires" is Rick Dillon's "Hack Emacs" series of videos. https://www.youtube.com/user/rpdillon/featured
Once upon a time I used to love zenhabits. I used to look at what Leo had accomplished (losing weight, living minimally, doing what you love (blogging) and building a business around it etc.) and thought he was worth…
I can't agree that e-ink is a dead end. Perhaps you have never had the opportunity to spend some serious time to compare reading on an LCD screen to a e-ink display. Tablets are great, but as long as they still have LCD…
It's a fair argument that overall percentage is low, but if you are catering towards a more technical audience (submitting to HN would count as that in my books) then I imagine the % of those using some form of…
You really should have a fallback page for browsers with no Javascript. NoScript has become increasing popular and the "Javscript Free" page of a site is the first page those users will see (even if they go on to…
