Ehh… I’ll do it tomorrow.

Oh lmao, I decided to look into this. https://github.com/flathub/com.ktechpit.torrhunt/blob/master/com.ktechpit.torrhunt.yaml

Looks like it just downloads the .snap package (directly from Canonical’s website) and extracts it. It’s also, of course, completely closed source so who knows what it’s doing when it’s running.

UK here, I pay £5 a month for 3GB. I could pay more for more, but I don’t really need it.

In an ideal world, a search engine will point to this thread, where the answer is the topvoted comment.

With the death of Stackoverflow and Reddit, hopefully Lemmy can fill the void of an information archive. :P

What improvements are you thinking of? I can see that reasoning with something like the Linux kernel where there’s a lot of complex and integrated code, but ultimately individual coreutils commands are really simple. There’s very little you can do to extend something like ls… And if you do, you can just make your own superls command and not have to deal with any licensing restrictions.

With regards to AGPL vs GPL, none of the coreutils programs have network connectivity, so I’m not sure what the network requirement actually adds?

getting rid of the gpl is the motivation behind e.g. companies sponsoring clang/llvm so hard right now.

Is it? As I understand it, LLVM is much easier to work with than GCC, especially given their LLVM IR and passes frameworks.

here, take my stuff and don’t contribute anything back, that’s totally fine

I mean, yeah? They are probably fine with that and think that software should be distributed without restrictions. You may not agree with it, but it’s their choice. Not really stealing if they give it away willingly.

I cannot fathom any FOSS project not using the AGPL anymore.

I mean, most of them that want to use a GPL-like license use the GPL or LGPL rather than the AGPL. :P

why are developers even agreeing to this?

Are they? Last I checked this wasn’t as much of a plan as much of it was just a developer thinking out loud. And even if it was a real plan, developers should continue doing what they should be doing anyway: Write their scripts without any GNU/uutils/whatever-microsoft-calls-their-evil-uutils-fork extensions. Then their scripts could run across all platforms, including GNU, uutils, FreeBSD and BusyBox.

At any rate, if Microsoft really wanted to make their own coreutils fork (if they haven’t already), they’re not really that complicated tools. They could devote like maybe a year of engineering time and get it pretty much compatible.

One thing that could be interesting to discuss is character creators and general restrictions on what a player avatar can and can’t do.

For example:

• Require all player + npc relationships to be hetero.
• Have most relationships be hetero, but sprinkle one or two bi characters for spice.
• Lock certain clothing options or body styles to specific genders.
• Tie the player’s pronouns and voice to their gender.
• Tie the player’s gender to what’s in their pants.
• Restrict genetal options to a boolean “male” or “female” (intersex people exist).
• Force the player to only be in a monogamous relationship.
• Allow the player to be polyamous but inexplicably punish them for being too poly (Looking at you, Stardew).

Yep, borgmatic encrypts it before it sends data to the server.

I can’t claim to fully understand the things that you’ve gone through, but I’ve been dealing with my own past and have noticed a few things about my thought processes.

Fisrstly, for me at least, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that “nobody cares”. That’s probably because of social media focusing on the negative or me looking for things to be upset about. It’s not really true through; a lot of people have been through horrible things and there’s a lot of advocates out there campaigning for rights and protections. Ultimately, I’m not alone, even though that’s how it feels some times.

Possibly related to the above, I also have been putting pressure on myself to “fix” these issues. Often to the point where I’m “not allowed to be happy” because there’s so much suffering in the world. But I saw a post where someone brought up that being an advocate is a full time job with training and a required skillset. I don’t think it’s fair for me to put those kinds of expectations on myself, especially with my own mental health issues. I’m trying to adopt a mindset of doing what I can, where I can and not stressing about “not doing enough”.

Anyway, rambling over. Not sure if my experiences are helpful, but there you go. :P

If I may give some generic unsolicited advice: Take care of yourself; give yourself space and time to heal. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself to move forward quickly. Take care of your physical needs (sleep, hydration, exercise, diet). And good luck.

If people are actually triggered by any discussion of rape, then they might have a text filter set up to block posts containing the string “rape”… Which this post won’t get blocked by either.

As an aside, presumably “sexual assault” is a better content warning flag than “rape”. More neutral and less emotionally loaded.

Was anything else installed on the 21st? Might have been pulled down as a dependency of something.

I recently bought a storagebox from Hatzner and set up my server to run borgmatic every day to backup to it.

I’ve also discovered that Pika Backup works really well as a “read only” graphical browser for borg repos.

Lots of comments about gaming from people assuming that companies will continue supporting their kernel anticheat on Windows 10 after it hits eol.

Windows 11 is much more convenient for identity tracking, so they’ll probably push for people to upgrade because Windows is too “insecure” for their games.

Huh, the remake of Chicken Run is looking very different from the original.

Wonder if ChatGPT just scraped an example token from somewhere and is using that.

The playdate’s crank thing was an interesting gimmick that opened up new ways of controlling games. They also had a number of other design decisions and limitations that breed creativity.

This just reminds me of the Mario Galaxy games. Rather than pressing a button to attack, you instead swing the wiimote just for the sake of being a gimmick. The coin is just a fancier switch or button; what can you do with the coin that you can’t do by holding a button combo?

Also, those coins are absolutely going to get lost, hopefully they’re 3D printable. And hopefully they’re not fomo tokens where you need to buy them separately…

Still, I hope I’m wrong about this and it does turn out to be good. Is certainly an interesting idea.

Firefox is licenced under a copyleft license. Mozilla can’t stop distros packaging it even if they wanted to.

They’d need to replace the branding, but that’s not a big deal.

I like the idea of simple apps, but does their website have to have that silly dvd bouncing thing obstructing text? Especially since it starts playing sound if you interact with it wrong.

I’m a Firefox user and I’m not really that bothered about this tos changes. If they do mess things up I’ll probably just switch to some fork that doesn’t do the fuckery.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Mint packages Firefox with it (whatever “it” is) disabled, since they build Thunderbird without telemetry.
