Not speaking as a lawyer, not legal advice, etc., I would love it if this weren't the case, at least for cops, but your reply and the several siblings to your reply suggesting this are all unfortunately at least a bit…
Yeah, it is practically true that AGPL means a project is impossible to use for a lot of people, but that doesn't have much to do with the license itself. A lot of developers work for companies that have legal…
The specific logic with user agents is that it happened (I think they've ended it now?) whenever the word "curl" was not in your user agent string. If the substring "curl" was contained anywhere in your user agent…
I think locking use of a language into particular editors is a step several decades backward into Borland-land. I'm not at all confident that "just stop writing types in source code because the magic editor will show…
frankly, yes? the reddit admins didn't care about anything, really, and very rarely went on banning sprees. when they did it was just deleting subreddits that were regularly posting about wanting to kill people. and in…
This conversation has gone back in a circle though. The original parent comment here pointed out that none of the arguments given for why it's a "misuse" hold water. "I can't see how eliminating a common misuse wouldn't…
Sure, that's a good example of something else, but do you have any examples of any forced updates?
Not all 0x things are crypto, but it's safe to assume that nearly 100% of 0x things from people who used to have .eth in their name are references to crypto and not to any other context for hexadecimal numbers. This was…
Why would John attempt to load a website in a Gopher client? I'm not certain you understand what Gopher is.
Maybe not all of the things you listed, but the comparison to forging your own materials with expensive equipment in a painstaking process that takes a long time is very, very comparable to the requirement web3 places…
I'm just saying you'd be happier there, it even has boards for non-tech-related stuff since you don't post here about tech-related stuff. Perfect fit!
Yeah. Tech (hell, humanity) already has a big enough problem with cults forming around bad or discredited ideas and defending them to the death, but the intrinsic characteristics of crypto make its adherents…
Maybe it's just me, but unless I'm crazy you've just listed all of the reasons it's actually an entirely workable analogy.
You know, if you really want to post like you're on /g/ you can just go back to /g/. It's still there.
I'm two days late but this is an argument for a developer not removing a security vulnerability from a dead project they've stopped maintaining, not this. I feel like not actively choosing to push malware to a…
Russian disinfo? You're joking, right? I don't know how to say this because I never thought I would need to, but the Russian government isn't shitposting in GitHub issues. It's almost certainly just some /g/ user…
Well, mathematics wasn't discovered, so regardless of what the right word is, it isn't "discovered".
Ironically it being "the future" is at least part of the reason why it happened. In the UK, all the land records are digitized nowadays, so the scammer didn't need to steal the physical deed to the property to pull off…
In many, many cases trans folks change their legal name to their preferred name. A hint so your future concern trolling endeavors can be more successful: your biases become evident when you drag them into it by assuming…
Well, yeah, sure, we can pretend that's what parent was saying, or maybe the top comment could just bother actually providing said anecdotal evidence. Saying you have anecdotal evidence is not the same thing as…
Haven't had any Bluetooth issues in the better part of a decade on any laptop running Linux, and I've been using Bluetooth headphones as my main audio output for the majority of that time, so I'd think I would have.
They don't. If a powerful server is poorly-designed and doesn't sufficiently reduce its power consumption when it idles (as this computer fails to do), then it doesn't meet regulation, but generally powerful servers are…
Even better, there's a general exception for well-designed computers that have efficient idle/wake cycles (which includes any computer being used in industry, gaming PCs just tend not to be terribly well-designed), and…
You don't know how the GPL works. The GPL explicitly requires attribution. I don't understand what you thought you were saying. The GPL places strict requirements on the licensing of derivative works. You don't know how…
Licenses explicitly are the set of permissions and limitations for someone to use the code. Even most permissive open source licenses require that you maintain an attribution with the text of the license in derivative…
