Clippy would never promote a religion. Clippy just wanted to help.

GPLv2 says you must license any derived code as the same license

True, unless the license is “GPLv2 or later”. Then anyone can upgrade it to GPLv3.

I thought Fennec stopped getting updates

If one wants to avoid software with AI code then being aware which MRs need replacing helps. However, accepting it encourages it more and makes it less fesible that you could prune all the MRs written in part by AI. Disclosing it will become worthless if it becomes the norm.

Thanks, I do.

I used to give the benefit of the doubt but when there are bad incentives in play and shit keeps happening… then perhaps that is naïve sometimes, unfortunately.

I’m loving it

Calling it, next update includes forced arbitration clause for accidental bricking.

It’s a barrier to entry. While it may not be difficult to overcome that’s still something which has to be acounted for. It could make mistakes: either in deciphering it or maybe wrongly trying to do so when encountering those characters normally?

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.
