There is nothing illegal about packaging Redis, or other open-source projects depending on it, irrespective of jurisdiction.

And Arch has no customers to worry about if they accidentally depend on a package that restricts closed-source commercialization, not that it’s a distro’s job to pick on that anyway. Commercial entities are supposed to have a process that checks the licenses of all dependencies. If you know how to reliably avoid AGPL, then you know how to reliably avoid RSAL and SSPL.

And I’m liking the cognitive dissonance of dissing Redis while praising Red Hat 🙂

Ghislaine Maxwell was on the news around the world. Is that not enough?

I wrote “the majority”, not everyone.

Akshually, we are all here. everyone is just using 10 different alts.

That would be almost worse with the real size/reach of Lemmy in mind, that is if this was true. Good thing it isn’t.

Community has “Lemmy” in its name, sidebar mentions vents, and I’m not genuinely angry or emotionally charged about this, the title is just exaggerated.

I don’t know. It felt appropriate here. And it definitely counts as a shitpost from my own perspective.

That’s not the original.
Hint: any version that doesn’t mention “communists” is “filtered”.

Signal has been questionable for years. The way it’s been pushed hardly, and how Moxie is emeritus, while much more questionable people are in control, doesn’t fill one with confidence, and does ring some alarm bells. The relative proximity to some in the US establishment should be enough to do that. And the way some have been designating anyone who questions Signal as “Russian Propaganda” and immediately deflecting about how Telegram is bad, is even more curious.

Frankly, I would trust something like Wire more than Signal. And there are other options too.

Ideally, something with good security/privacy and is fully P2P would become popular. But those apps/networks never make it mainstream, which is unfortunate.

This is like the worst example possible, considering Aaron himself was rich, which should tell you the obvious, that being rich was never a sole differentiator.

But that might be too disruptive to the current echo chamber.

What X11-only apps/programs did you need xwayland for?

I actually always disabled xwayland whenever I experimented with wayland (weston and sway), because everything I use is supported natively, and I wanted to make sure the native support was forced.

There is a manifesto that is literally titled the “The Post-Meritocracy Manifesto” which a lot of people unironically agreed with, at least when those were hot topics a few years ago.

So any attempt at pretending that there isn’t an anti-meritocracy angle to this would be disingenuous to say the least.

That same person behind the manifesto is a primary figure in introducing CoC’s to software projects btw.

I’m not abandoning my Awesome WM setup anytime soon personally. But I thought it’s worth sharing this perspective from someone who knows this stuff much better than me.
