Sorta. Whomever does payment on your behalf has to be willing to extend credit for an immediate transaction while the very slow process of exchanging money happens at a delay. This is especially so if the transactions are international. I truly wonder how the phone with just an ordinary bank account does this. Is it Google/Apple who extend credit? If so, is that better?

The fact that this is Stephanie McMahon makes it so fucking funny

Yeah I don’t toxicity either it helps nobody. But if you would allow me to be a little vulgar, here’s a quick attempt to aggregate why the legal side of GPL has been important:

Search engines take a bunch of time and I gotta keep parenting.

Also* it took decades for GNU/Linux to accrue enough momentum to get to a point where it is today: a commercially viable cloud powerhouse. It didn’t get here by letting anybody/everybody just do what they want with the software. These small flights accumulate to protect an entire ecosystem of beloved software, which is why many of us feel the need to use the only voice we have. I don’t think for sure that anybody wants to replace Linux with a permission version but the benefits for greedy corporations to see that happen is pretty clear. Especially when people are willing to start doing that for free

I think the biggest point you may be missing here is if you start re-writing GNU/Linux (which is what uutils is the first step in doing) with an MIT license, you start making reasons for commercial entities that contribute back out of obligation to stop supporting upstream free software. This is a no brainer to me. As to whether or not anybody should stop writing uutils, the answer is **obviously not. ** The license, however, is free game for scrutiny

I wrote this before I realized that you don’t actually care about the answer, you just want people to shut up about it, so sorry. If you want somebody to do the work you’ll have to do it yourself now. You’ve been given plenty of examples in this thread already

It’s not about any of us enjoying the license*, it’s about preserving the integrity of free software. It’s both flattering and disturbing that core utils is popular enough that people have decided to give them away to anyone who would want to take them without ever contributing back. If those people are found out there will be no legal recourse. Those Rust rewrites would inevitably be made proprietary without any credit for the authors.

I sank hundreds of late night hours and doubled my bladder size while being completely enthralled on that very setup. cd D:/, doom.exe

I took for granted that the internet only existed in libraries and wealthy friends’ houses

I played the heck out of my three faulty RoD Xboxes

Watch the fucking system eat itself alive

It is a point of contention if the spirit of writing an anonymous report while saying any gosh dang thing you want about somebody is in the spirit of ending their career or whatever. DeVault decided it was necessary to shit things up as much as he could /after/ the FSF had made their decision because he and whoever decided that it wasn’t good enough for them.

Nope. I already don’t listen to Drew and moved my code and donations from Sourcehut to Codeberg. You can do the work of cross referencing his claims, if you’d like.

Its Drew DeVault. After his agressive and frankly unnecessary smear campaign of RMS where he took as much out of context as he could, and not being that much better himself (https://dmpwn.info/), I feel like any hot take the guy has needs to be taken with a grain of salt. If he doesn’t like something, he crusades.

Its doing the job of a code review alongside putting the program together. The parts the AI cannot get right need to be written yourself. AI really speeds up tedium for me but every line of code has to be read carefully. If the “vibe” is having to do the work anyway, then it’s vibe coding. I do like the speed boost I get for my 7 cents per query. It’s like I’m in my 30s without a kid again

This is why I’d just call it programming with AI tools and not “vibe coding”

I was wondering if it’s going to be his “final solution” or not.

Feminism has it’s benefits, boys. Now you too can pour your energy into making a breadwinner happy instead of having an ambitious career.

Do ya think so? Then I better not show you how the lemonade is made!

By the stroke of his mane he turns into plane and he turns back again when you tug on his winkie!

Rust cannot help you if you disable the safety features, go figure.
