It’s not ideal, and can be abused by the central service later by price increases or probably other things.

But it’s the best a corporate and evil platform can do to legitimize users.

His expression, he really does not want to be there or pick up the woman

I tried compiling gentoo a bit later, upgraded from windows 95. Could never get to a login screen, I quit, and started using Linux later when it was easier to install

I also think this reflects the true number of the user base: less reports because of what you said, and also there are less people who see the material

Cool !

This is an anonymous account and I can say these two were actually role models for me.

For real. I was watching these when they were coming out new, with my son, and I thought “this is a children’s show but the writers know what’s going on”

My understanding is that this is not terrible, only bad then? In top ten new movies this year?

Shout out to the employee who interrupted to accuse Microsoft of war crimes!

Hi, I am a poor joke.

This will also help lessen the monopoly cloud flair has in Spain

I was master of staring off into space and day dreaming, if I did not have anything to read, before the phones came.

Proton recently closed their masterdon account because of the mutual hostility

Yea, I seriously tried to think of one merger, big enough to be noticed, and not willing to even break laws to show their appreciation.

It does not say how they make it; just because it’s cheap for them to make in small scale is not enough info. Many good things easy to make on a workbench fail to be marketed

It all depends if this can be produced in big quantities without it being too expensive.

Maybe found fossils of cell membranes, maybe not

The mit license allows a mix of public and commercial code run by the same company, with minimal legal issues. One can use other tactics I am sure, but this one seems good when the commercial code absolutely needs the public code .

I think some confusion here can be resolved by stating this is anti foss, taking advantage of foss, it is capitalism taking advantage of having a good code base while making sure any contribution from outside the company is minimized. At the same time it gives my company absolute control over the private part.

Usually get into arguments here! I’m not defending it, but am saying open source would be less without.

For our use case, this makes the most sense.

I’m not at all sure about the larger trend you noticed, but I know a non trivial number are doing it for the same reasons

Speaking for myself, it’s because future monetization can be easier under mit when using a foss utility and private code.

My project would not exist at all unless there were ways to make money off it.

True, others can also use that same code too, in the exact same way, but that requires quite the investment, and those of us that are doing this are banking on not getting the interest of a monopoly in that way. We are competing against other small businesses who have limited resources.

At the same time the free part can get a boost by the community.

I comment a lot in politics here, and am sometimes an ass, so cannot name this project

He is not wrong. Unless people start to take steps , the dependency of tech will be used to chain most of us. Granted, these chains will be the kindest and gentlest chains seen in a long time.

Social revolution lives on in decentralized services, like this; the true battles will be later though. This year is a mild warm up. I can’t imagine the challenges that await many
