I dunno, names are scarce and if a project fails then I don't see too much wrong with reuse of the name.

That's not quite how it works, you can relicense stuff under GPL and your distribution and any changes you made are GPL'd but the original remains MIT. https://writefreesoftware.org/learn/participate/deri

It's just such a pointless distraction. Don't make it about you? It reminds me of men who hear that women get paid less and start complaining about their own salary. "Hey, we have this problem." "To each their own b

Really done with this take. Show some solidarity for your peers. So you like working from the office -- good for you! Do that! But also stand up for your colleagues who don't want that. When your colleagues have fewer choices, when thi

Not sure that "copyleft" is confusing or falling into disuse, I hear people talking about it without confusion pretty often. First time I've heard "reciprocal licensing".

I dunno, it's just a place to store the code, and SourceHut is itself free software. I could put it on Codeberg or something, I guess, but it doesn't really seem like a big deal. Never heard anyone criticize the FSF or GNU for the

I feel like it's pretty explicit: > You are entitled to the use of any free software for any purpose, including commercial use – counter-intuitively, you can sell free software. There are also sections which go into the utility of c

Not sure how this comes across as self-serving or what the nature of this protest is, but if you explain it in more detail perhaps I can make a correction.

I had the opposite issue -- something like 90% of genuine payments on my account are rejected by the fraud detector on the first try and have to be retried daily for several days before going through. I exchanged over a hundred emails with

I take pride in making my websites accessible for everyone regardless of the monetary incentive to do so, and to make inaccessible websites simply because you don't think there's money in it is very shameful. Not saying that hambu

This website's GDPR pop-up is unlawful. 1. More clicks to opt-out than in 2. "Legitimate interest" is made up 3. Having to untick options one a time is illegal

It would range from unfortunate to a non-issue. The entire flight is not expected to be successful, the purpose is data gathering. The worst case scenario is that it fails on the pad and damages the launch infrastructure, which would be a h

The cheapest and most popular rocket today in terms of cost per kilogram sent to low-earth-orbit is the SpaceX Falcon 9, which is estimated to cost about $2700/kg. If the Starship meets its goals, it will cost $10/kg to LEO. It ha

Strongly agreed. Unwinding with libunwind, i.e. DWARF, is way, way more complex. A simple linked list is much better for the common use-cases.

GCC has had upstream support for RISC-V for ages, and your typical cross or native GNU toolchain (via your distros or otherwise) supports it.

I am a kernel hacker, and I have worked with io_uring, and I can safely judge that it is very good -- but the main issue is that it represents a totally different approach to I/O (and syscalls generally, which are just I/O in othe

Couldn't say, but I do think Codeberg's performance is anecdotally reasonable and I'm fond of their ideals and practices.

Many of the other comments are missing the point. It's ultimately because there are a lot of desperate people in SF. The bay area has the highest homelessness incidence in the country. Mental health services are poor to non-existent. T
