The zed-industries Github repository lists Zed licenses as AGPL, Apache and GPLv3.

The AGPL refers to the GNU Affero General Public license, which does not limit others from competing. Unless you mean the fact that forks must share source code when accessed over a network?

Never understood a terms of service existing if the project code license is GPL or such. Can’t this just be forked and cured of anti features, if people value it enough to do so?

Binding arbitration (aka, if we break the law you can’t sue us) aught to be illegal in every country.

Seperating the modern web browser into discrete parts and each doing them well seems to be the only logically answer to me. (If ignoring the task of convincing the general public to do anything in their best interests). We already have dedicated video/music player software on our OSs.

can work on any web browser

Gemini can have competition of browsers: it’s feasible for one person to create a Gemini client completely, correctly and securely.

There are only ~2 web browsers left and making a new one at all is near impossible (forks with minor size changes are great n’ all but not meaningful enough to stop Google basically being in control).

Usually they only comply by suing them, after nagging them for years…

Everyone is free to edit, compile and use LGPL licensed code however you want on your PC. A DMCA can’t stop that, so it won’t make sense for someone to think that. At the time you share software (as a binary which used that LPGL licensed code, or the code itself) is when you are legally compelled to follow the license (hosting code on github).

But sharing code is when a license like LGPL really has an effect in what you must do to comply…

FFmpeg has faced some criticism for this DMCA takedown

We don’t need the madman who thinks suffering is good to change their mind for sensible people to act, as medicine doesn’t need the madman who thinks always throwing up is healthy. We place expectations on others everyday: like when we walk past a stranger. Perfect agreement is not needed to have expectations, or demand better from those who benefit from others.

“Militant foss” reads like the old saying “militant atheist”…

Maybe you aught to take your own advice and not mention this again, otherwise you’ll hear opinions that conflict with your own.

Untagged?

I thought the title was “Why is it so hard to get Nvidia working with Linux” but I was mistaken. That’s the answer.

Perhaps I’m just not the target audience for a pretty UI rework but it really grinds my gears to see it be running in Firefox. A whole browser for a GUI is insane?? I’m sure it will improve with time but when it loaded on my VM it reminded me of a virus opening a browser window.

There are big issues with the modern video games industry. Like a lot of software they deny user’s computing freedoms, and as such facilitate designs to repeatedly make money using psychology tricks. However, to reject video games as a waste of time goes to show how one can not know what they’re missing.

Video games are a peak of higher-functioning life: play. A structured form of play which can go beyond physical games. Life is poorer without the immergent stories of a fantasy world (Dwarf Fortress) or competing in a consequence-free violence of street-fighting (Street Fighter).

If what you’ve chosen to learn could help someone right in front of you, and they’re asking for help, you do not feel compelled to help them? I doubt that.

Let’s put that in a way that isn’t so off putting. It’s the duty of those in the know help those who are not when possible.

It’s one thing when a company gets the benefits of people’s contributions and doesn’t give back (in the form of source code when they build upon it and at the time they offer binary files). If a company wants to do the work themselves… well now they don’t have too.

GPL promoters typically value software freedom, and may believe it’s generally bad for society when software is proprietary. I don’t know what coreutlis does but I doubt there’s a thoughtful reason to choose MIT license for a clone.

Is that real or parody?

Given the bad incentives on parties from our a two party system then even Greens would eventually become bad (unless they managed to fix the voting system they just won on…).
