As someone who did train one of the traditional martial arts for a few years, I appreciate the comparison. I don't know how much weight your "just" is meant to carry, but I remember a culture of cope and excuses about…
Well, for one it breaks right click and copy link location.
Again, that only works for large companies, and for companies that can exists even if their service is downloadable. Which fine, you can choose to take that political stance. But that's a stance of "I want to change the…
This means you have only solved the problem for large companies, and specifically those who have money and who have a functioning procurement system that's developer-driven. Which is a very narrow use case. Also…
Sure, but for anything except large companies it has a bootstrapping problem. I'm absolutely not going to use AGPL software in a test one-person trying to sell a service kind of deal. So if it takes off, I'm already on…
Yup. As I said in another comment "I treat AGPL as a rabies infected animal. I may have uses for it, but I'll keep it EXTREMELY segregated from everything else".
Could you please take my question at face value? > I chose to do it for free to help other people. And picking a MIT license does the opposite. I have no idea what this is supposed to mean. I want to help other people,…
Not really "one disadvantage" as much as "the main use case".
What's the difference to you between a rug pull and theft?
Do we really need the latest kernel on them, though? As in, is it worth it? In 100 years, if we need to run kernel 6.12 to use a 3c509, is that all that bad? It's not like being "stuck" on an old IRIX without the…
Huh? You release code so that people will have to rewrite it? I really don't understand what your goal would be in releasing code at all, then.
Which could make the business untenable. I'm not GP commenter, but I do want to be useful to these too. And as others have said the deceptive term of "plugging the SaaS loophole" ignores that it means most software…
Do you have data on that last bit, or just a guess? As a hobbyist and OSS developer I treat AGPL as a rabies infected animal. I may have uses for it, but I'll keep it EXTREMELY segregated from everything else.

It was one vote away from going Thomas's way, so I wouldn't say it doesn't matter what he thinks. As a non-american, I would have enjoyed the precedent that the logical conclusion had to be that I would not be subject…
I also find it useful to see someone's progression. Newer posts on a topic from the same person will usually have clearer thinking about it.
I disagree with removing timestamps. It's extremely frustrating to read some technical post somewhere only to finally see that it was written in 2008. The very first thing I read now on that site when looking for a good…
If there's anything that's anachronistic, it's native apps. You want it graphical: Make a webapp. You don't: Make a TUI. What exactly is the use case for native apps? Even lots of legacy code can build to WASM now.…
So wrong. They're fast, efficient, work across SSH, in a tmux, and survive the almost daily browser upgrades. And they are easy to run as separate users without VNC or sandbox hell. Like do you want to think about…
This reminds me how I've had to tell people to try to type better and nt us wird abbrvs, even if it means they can type it faster. Because if you want 100 people to read it, then every second you waste for the reader is…
> Their employee base in Washington has almost no american born engineers. Was that a sharp turn, or was it related in some way?
I don't feel like power users are catered to either. Like if you have a Google workspace account (if you're not a company, that's a power user) then you can't do "remind me to X". That's reserved for non-power users.…
NSA chief also says water is wet.
Having the word "secure" as part of the product name is pretty brave, especially if you're Cisco.
Sure, but you could have done that without pimpl, too. At least without defaulted or inlined constructors/destructors/etc.
