Unless someone has registered the trademark for those specific purposes you’re clear. A trademarks is only valid within a specific field of purpose. Trademarks are there to avoid consumers mistaking one brand for another.

There are a lot of entertaining articles on Techdirt about companies not understanding trademark law.

I agree and the requirement for an exact placement of attribution is not very friendly to derivate works either. I don’t think that section 7 of AGPL allow adding anything other than the exact terms in section 7 and it has a clause that allow removing non-permissive additions to the AGPL, but I’ve sent an e-mail to FSF asking what their position is. I would be very concerned picking AGPL as a license for my projects, if section 7 allow adding clauses like that. Anyhow the clauses were added in this commit, so anything prior to 7.3.0 is normal AGPL.

There is no free and open source version of Only Office. It fakes that it is licensed with AGPL, but they have added the following to the license, which in effect completely forbid you to redistribute it. It can be said to be Source Available.

The interactive user interfaces in modified source and object code versions of ONLYOFFICE must display Appropriate Legal Notices, as required under Section 5 of the GNU AGPL version 3.

Pursuant to Section 7 § 3(b) of the GNU AGPL you must retain the original ONLYOFFICE logo in the upper left corner of the user interface when distributing the software.

Pursuant to Section 7 § 3(e) we decline to grant you any rights under trademark law for use of our trademarks.

You need to use a dmix PCM for you card as output.

If you type aplay -L | grep dmix it’ll show you a list of dmix devices. You can set one as the default if you create a file named .asoundrc in your homefolder with the content:

pcm.!default {
  type plug
  slave.pcm "dmix:CARD=Set,DEV=0"
}

You of course replace the value of slave.pcm with your desired card name. I just gave one of mine as an example. The above default configuration also takes care of automatic conversion, via the plug pcm, for different samplerates and formats to the settings the hardware is set up to use. Every program that use ALSA for output will read the above file, but you need to restart a program for changes to take effect.

If you enjoy audio production I’m sure you’ll find some good use for Jack, but for audio mixing all you need is to use an ALSA dmix pcm for output.

A solution I’ve used for the glibc problem, is to build on an older distribution in a chroot. There is also this project which might be of use to pick a specific version of glibc. The project README also explain how to do it manually.

As for distribution, I prefer something like makeself.sh, that installs to either ~/.local/ or if it is to be installed system-wide to /usr/local or /opt. The concept is just a small shell script appended with a compressed archive, it is easy to modify and even create by hand using standard tools like cat. This is a method widely used by native Linux games.

Nice, but it is not entirely without JS. There is a tracking script from scorecardresearch.com

What’s the font? It looks goooood.

I’m no CMake expert, but it looks like to me, from the first line of the above snippet, that the default in the upstream build script is WITH_XC_ALL=OFF.

Sadly Sci-Hub has not received updated articles in several years. Alexandra is waiting for the outcome of the trial in India. I don’t think it depends on what the outcome is, just that the trial needs to be over.

As @Caboose12000@lemmy.world already said, I’d recommend drop.lol (can be selfhosted). Filetransfers are direct between peers (unless you’re behind some hardcore NAS where UDP hole-punching via STUN is not possible).

I mean how I transfer a file depends on the situation. If it’s to someone on XMPP I’d just establish a direct transfer there. Sometimes I share a directory over HTTP, FTP, SFTP and so on. The easiest way for most people, because it only requires a WebRTC capable browser, is with one of the many peer to peer filesharing platforms like drop.lol.

Don’t be so sad, the list is shit.

I like drop.lol

The fork Tenacity

Thanks for the archive link, even if I prefer Techdirt for these kind of news, it was nice of you to save me from visiting Wired.

No I’m sorry, I pull my feeds manually using a barebones reader. I’m guessing your best bet is one of the web-based readers as it would require a client with a TCP port that’s reachable from the web. I have never seen a feed who provided the rssCloud feature though.

Have they resolved the issues with poop?

It’s part of the RSS 2.0 standard. Of course it requires adoption by feed publishers.

rssCloud

Does anyone know of a list of TLDs that don’t allow reselling? I’d prefer to buy/lease one of those and let domain sharks play their own games.

For your photo needs, you could try out RawTherapee and Darktable. They have builds for Windows and MacOS.

A Linux user’s nightmare: the machine was wiped clean with one click

Timo Tamminen

One day a Linux user using KDE Plasma decided to download a generic theme for his desktop environment. This is possible with Plasma’s built-in tool, through which you can download anything from themes to icons and wallpapers.

Installing themes using Plasma’s tool is easy and fast. It practically only requires one click. This time, however, the user in question certainly wishes that that one click had not been completed.

Namely, installing the theme called Gray Layout wiped the machine completely empty of the user’s personal files. Without asking anything.

Although the theme developer’s intention this time was apparently not malicious, the accident was a clear indication that installing third-party themes without careful supervision can be a bad mistake. With the theme, almost anything can be installed in the user’s home directory.

The Gray Layout installation script ran the rm -rf command, which normally removes all files from the device, making the command particularly dangerous to use. However, without root access, it can only cause limited damage.

Reddit user Jeansen Vaars says that he lost all his games, settings files, browser history and other contents of his home directory in a crash.

The unofficial face of KDE, Nate Graham, apologizes for what happened. He promises that the matter will be thoroughly investigated. The theme in question has also been removed from the theme store.

I use gitit and it’s already packaged in most Linux distros.
