Wow, I realized today this is pretty crazy. but turns out it's old news, as old as Dec 2025, though the support page was only linked to in Jan 2026. https://web.archive.org/web/20251223014541/https:/&#x2F

"Nothing" is not accurate in the context of Debian as per comments above; it's not like Github in that sense.

Well. This is Debian, known for how strict they are about vetting developers. I just remembered Sladen refusing to key sign because my passport circa 2005 didn't have a machine readable slug in it. https://www.debian.org&#x2

Yeah. And there is also the group of parents that at the moment have decided no device is safe enough to be given to a child or adolescent. They are a good litmus test of the bill; would they be happy to provide devices if there was age ver

Do you have children? Have you witnessed what they can do with restricted $300-2000 devices? My kids hack restaurant tablets at every place we go. I don't even know how they do it most of the time. This is going to be one hell of a sli

It's not completely wrong, but overly simplistic: > In 2006, Amazon launched what is now AWS, exposing the internal compute, storage, and database services its retail group had built. The internal pitch was identical to Marketplace

This read was mildly interesting, but I'm left thinking that the study of any sprawling monopoly will come up with similar mildly interesting and irrelevant rationalizations of success. Once you get as as big as Amazon was in the early

Actually there is a long and storied history of mechanisms created to compel American companies to comply with requests for digital intervention. A good starting point is the concept of the NSL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

Oh this almost makes me want to go back and consider NFS for our local lab. I used to run it but everywhere having a centralized SPOF was a constant concern, and there isn't a simple HA story for it sadly.

Resolver limitations, as opposed to server or protocol issues, are in my view the main reason why "it is always DNS".

That's interesting. I was reading their licensing compliance FAQ at https://min.io/compliance and it doesn't allude to that; in fact it suggests that for instance calling a REST API doesn't imply derived work

Nah, the AGPL is pretty clear (and way clearer than the GPL and LGPL due to combined/derived work fuzziness). The issue with it isn't anything to do with the mechanism of the license itself, because it is pretty clear what the cri

Well, the comment from OP isn't necessarily complete. The AGPL is not about preventing someone from using source code (indeed that would be contrary to the spirit of all liberal and copyleft licenses), but rather the condition under wh

What does the risk classification applied to the dataset actually mean? The licensing page [1] AI2 provides for their datasets is really nice but it doesn't really explain [2] what risk means in the context. Does it mean "risk tha

I think "[automated] disassembly" has a different implication than reverse-engineering; the latter usually involves more depth in the analysis of the binary, usually including more semantic-level considerations (i.e. this block is

Given my history I'm definitely not a fan of this madness in the licensing space. But I am also willing to acknowledge that the 1P vs 3P bomb set off by the public cloud incumbents will continue to yield damage to the open source start
