If it gets “stolen” by a for-profit corporation it only makes it better, because now my software has reached more people, thus (theoretically) improving their lives.
Or it could be “stolen” by Raytheon, and helping ruin lives better.
And I’m not poopoo’ing, what you’re saying, I just want you to consider all consequences, because it kinda seems like you haven’t.
I mean, essentially, the GPL just obligates someone borrowing from you to keep doing things “how it should be”.
Sometimes you just wanna get fucked. --MIT
Sometimes you want to start a beautiful family that makes the world a better place. --GPL
Match your license with your feelings about the project.
Just don’t, you know, pick the former and mistake it for the latter because your ego gets stroked. If you pick MIT, you increase your chances of collaborating, but get in and get out.
Whatever you want, babe. There’s no wrong way to EQ.
You are not making an objective change.
Fine dining is so weird.
I used the Mcdonalds app a few times and the drivethru was always faster, lmao.
They require location services and don’t start cooking until you’re inside their geofence, but IME they seem to still prioritize drivethru customers.
The road standards are designed to protect the occupants, not the other users on the road.
This is a critical flaw with current safety and CAFE standards.
You say that like a specific technology is inevitable, but it never is. The general march of tech will continue on, but no one thing is ever guaranteed.
e.g. 20 years ago everyone needed custom browser toolbars and now it’s not even possible to add one on major browsers. We eliminated the need for browser features by cramming 99% of what we need into a handful of websites that are constantly refreshed.
e.g. 10 years ago blockchain was surging and today it still doesn’t have a usable application. Turns out spreadsheets don’t really need to be distributed.
Machine learning is just an algorithm nobody understands. If I needed something to give me wrong answers to questions I’ll ask my dog.
It’s still popular because it was popular.
Also, it was simple and modular.
It was largely succeeded by monolithic and enshittified versions of iTunes, which have zero appeal these days. So it’s still remembered fondly for not enshittifying and not trying to build a walled garden.
Well, it is on Android…
But the main app is tightly integrated into the win32 api–moving it to linux would basically require a complete rewrite. DEADBEEF is an example of something like this. Parallel values and ideals, but open source.
There are wine-bottled versions out there. Of course, whether or not output is bit perfect would depend on the wine settings. Bottling it, of course, defeats the point of the program being highly modular/extensible.
Also, you have to remember that a lot of proprietary formats have proprietary encoders/decoders that are incompatible with the GPL.
Shipping Windows binaries are much less of a hassle for the dev than than trying to reverse-engineer everything they need or figuring out how to manage dependencies with different licenses across different package managers and distros with different goals.
tl;dl foobar2000 is an excellent sum of its parts; like Winamp was back-in-the-day. You start changing parts and you get a different sum.
How many mac applications are coded using win32 api?
Put a couple 18650 cells under the hingle like it’s 2008
Also reposts killed forums.
New posters asked the same 6 questions over and over.
Most FOSS advocates understand there is a line where your rights end and mine begin–it’s why we have the GPL instead of all using MIT or LGPL license. Your right to acess the source is sacred.
Gun advocates don’t give a shit. Your death means nothing to their desire to roleplay mad max or zombie apocalypse or cowboy or whatever.
His arguments are so disingenuous, lol.

Wear whatever you want.
People mostly used to wear cloaks to keep the elements off of them.
Lots of mud and dirt from horseback riding back then–also rain.
We’re indoors a lot more now. Most of us don’t work outside and our transportation, mainly automobiles, are protected from the elements.
As the function became irrelevant, so did the clothing choice.
Found the Debian user.
You pure, unadulterated bastard.
