Yeah, that’d mean you need some type of source accessible license. Not sure which specific one tho, you’ll have to look deeper into it’

You’re on the open-source community, of course we’ll be biased in favour of open source. One thing to point out is that open-source and closed source are both pretty broad categories that cover several licenses. Source available means people can see the code, but there are restrictions to how they can use it. Is there a specific thing you don’t want people to do with your code? Do you not want them to edit it for example? Or you’re fine with them editing it, but not for commercial purpose ? Any restriction of this type will make it source-available. If you’re fine with them doing anything, it’s open source. If you want them to mention somewhere that their code is based on yours, it’s still open source. And if you want any code made by editing yours to also be open source, that’s still open source (that’s the idea of the GPL). But other restrictions might make it not fit that category.

I personally usually default to the GPL3, I’m fine with people doing anything with my code except making it non-open source. Well “my code”… It might be a bit presumptious of me, I’m not really a programmer, I’ve just made a few small and not very useful things. There may be legitimate reasons for not wanting your code to be open source sometimes, but for me the stakes have always been low.

As for whether using Github creates an expectation for Open-Source… Not so much at this point. It’s very used by the Open-Source community, but not only. Plus, it’s not really open-source itself, so the most purist prefer other git platforms like git-lab, forgejo or source-hut.

Grumpy cat, my beloved <3

I think there’ll always be an issue depending on how dependent a project is on a company. Because the main risk isn’t that some bumbleling idiot of a CEO will run the projects and his company to the ground, but that sensible people will take decisions that serve their own interests, but not the interests of users.

Free software creates a framework wherein companies may have an interest in the success of a project and contribute to it. This is a good thing, insofar that to companies, the project is just a tool that needs to work well and to the programmers, the company is just one of several contributors.

In a community driven project, those who take decisions are the programmers who directly contribute to it and who are also usually users. Their interests are closer to those of all other end users. They want the project to work, and that may also be what financial contributors want.

However, if the software is a product of the company, they’ll intend to extract value from it directly. The interest of shareholders will supercede those of programmers and end users. That is why they may take decisions that are bad from a user’s perspective, not because their dumb, but because they have other interests in mind.
Inserting adds is a good way to get fundings from add companies at the detriment of users.
Adding suscription tiers is a good way to extract wealth from part of the users. Adding AI is a good way to secure loans from banks that speculate on the AI bubble, and maybe even from companies like Nvidia, interested in making the bubble last and grow.

It’s not a matter of being sensible or not, it’s a matter of whose interest you’re sensibly serving.

What was that joke about Firefox again? “We’re the browser beloved for being the only one not hitting our dick with a hammer. Now, you’re probably wondering why we brought this hammer and and took out our dick. Well you see…”

More seriously, I think until the bubble pops, writing “AI” anywhere is a way for companies to attract fundings, and that money is too easy for many to pass.

That’s why I tend to trust community managed distros over corpo ones. I don’t see Arch or Debian pulling this bullshit.

Tho, I’d still be suspicious of the other big private company, Redhat; which is very involved in maintaining Systemd.

Honestly, if it comes to this I’ll distro-hop as far as I need to escape AI.

Pretty nice ar, I had to reverse-search it. It’s by Denman Rooke and was used for a Pathfinder game.

The Light is what is being perceived in that example. The point of mentioning that the retina is inside the eye is that it means light must be inside the eye too when it hits it.

tell me how you’re not actually in contact with something.

Not what’s being argued here.

True

True, but the pressure wave is what is being perceived when hearing, light is what is being perceived when seeing, I never said what was being perceived had to be matter. In the case of touch, some molecules may enter the skin, but that is not the cause of the sensation. Even if you imagine an perfectly hard, smooth and clean surface that sheds no molecule, you should still be able to feel of you touch it.

However, I thought about it after making this post, but there also is a small amount of kinetic energy entering you when you touch something, and that may be what triggers your nerve… So I guess even in the case of touch, it remains true that you can only perceive something that’s inside of you.

The nerves were already inside tho, they didn’t enter.

Fun fact: Finnish and Estonian are both Finnic languages. Meanwhile, the other Nordic countries mostly speak Scandinavian languages an the other Baltic countries speak Baltic languages, which are part of the broader Balto-Slavic group. So really, from a linguistic perspective at least, Finns and Estonians are more similar to each-other than to any of their neighbors. And also pretty similar to Hungary (Magyar being a Finno-Ugric language).

^found the clitoris!

Wow, you really put great effort into rendering the details on the girl’s jean. You also put a non negligible effort in painting a person in the mirror with the same colthes as the girl but surprisingly little time making sure they had the same haircut or that this made sense with the position and orientation of the mirror. Which could be that there’s a third person in the room who just happens to be dressed like her, but for this to make sense without them being seen in the image the best must be behind them in the mirror and that’s not what we see in the reflection.

You are truly scum for claiming this by your drawing. Effort was put into this color and rendering, but not by you. By artists whose work was scraped and spat out at your prompting by a large model at the cost of large amounts of energy and water in a polluting data center. All this for a seen before joke that would’ve worked just as well with a stock photo or hastily drawn stick figures.

For anyone confused, this is a reference to Crank mah Hog, the biblical city and its king from the Apocalypse to which George Bush Jr was referring when he tried to get the French president Jacques Chirac to join the Second Gulf War.

Among the classics from the 60s, I’d also add Thelonious Monk, Arts Bakey, then the Headhunters, and Sun Ra’s Arkestrs. That’s a period with a lot of diversification (free jazz, bebop, funk jazz, Afrofuturism…). Earth Wind and Fire is also funk jazz.

There also Tito Puente from Puerto Rico, which leads me to transition to the caribbeans. Outside of the US, you have of course Compay Secundo and the Buena Vista Social Club, and also Juan Pable Torres in Cuba. Caribbean Sextet in Haïti. While we’re in the Caribbeans, Ska is also derived from jazz and Rocksteady and Reggae are in turn derived from it, try older Ska bands like the Skatalites, that’s where it’s most obvious.

In Africa there’s Manu Dibango from Cameroon, who blends some trafitional music influence, also Mulatu Atatske from Ethiopia (who’s still alive and kicking), then you have the whole Afrobeat genre starting in Nigeria with Fela Kuti (early Afrobeat is still really close to jazz, though modern Afrobeat, which is closer to hip-hop).

That’s those I know best among the classics (I’m not sctually a huge expert despite my tirade, I may have been exagerating a bit because I got defendive and also as a joke). But if you search almost any country name and add “jazz” after it, you’ll certainly get a result (the only time I failed was when I tried Bhutan, and I still think they likely have jazz somewhere, it’s just hard to find).

My favorites among the recent ones are Shabaka Hutchings from the UK and, Thurgo Théodat from Haïti (not super famous, but really good, I’ve actually heard him play live). Mulattu Atatske has also done stuff recently, and sun Ra’s Arkestra still exists.

Also, since nobody plays jazz alone, once you found a jazz player you like, a good way to find more is to see who they’ve played with. If it’s a band, see the members and what other band they’ve played in!

Shake it shake it shake it shake it shake it feel good

What even are words? Pieces of long dead people’s thoughts, which we assemble as grim puppets to replicate our own thoughts in a form that we hope others will comprehend? To hell with this, return to grunts and screams.

They’re also not birds. Or ladies, for that matter.
