Exactly; fuck BSD too.

It’s worth noting that Apple has (for example) gone so far as to replace bash with zsh just because the GPL v3 was too copyleft for them to handle. In other words, fuck Apple.

It’s too “easy” for all the kiddos who tie their self-worth to their ability to follow installation instructions.

I don’t recall the reasons for the addition but /media is newer than /mnt.

Something to do with hard-coded mounts in /etc/fstab vs. dynamically-mounted removable media (USB drives etc.), I think.

it’s soulless car-dependant suburbs that are like Windows!

Some suburbs are nice, too.

It’s precisely the streetcar suburbs that are nice, and they are nice precisely because they are not car-dependent.

No, because a kibbutz (planned intentional community) would be the “cathedral” in that analogy, and the city (incrementally developed community) would be the bazaar.

Linux is the communal kibbutz, Windows is the corporate city.

I was 100% with you until you decided to go and diss cities.

Cities are great and neighborhoods within them can have plenty of sense of community; it’s soulless car-dependant suburbs that are like Windows!

And which parts does the AGPL violate? Because that’s what the article is about: it becoming available under the AGPL.

Damn who imagined that gaming would be the topic that made the FOSS OSes relevant.

Frankly, that’s been obvious for a pretty long time now. I’ve been hearing “but I need Windows for gaming” as people’s primary excuse for not switching since literally two decades ago.

Google is so far off the deep end of “cloud” shit and surveillance capitalism that the people running the Play Store can no longer even conceive of software that’s incapable of spying because it doesn’t connect to the Internet to begin with.

If the pronoun choice is “xe/xey” instead of “per/pers” do they even GNU?

An object lesson in bus factor.

It’s a sliding scale; it isn’t just ‘full privacy’ or ‘no privacy’.

Not only is it a sliding scale, it’s a multidimensional one because it also depends on what your threat model is. “Privacy” from an abusive partner snooping on your phone to discover your escape plan, “privacy” from Target trying to market diapers to you when nobody even knows you’re pregnant yet, “privacy” from Cambridge Analytica trying to psychoanalyze you so they can better target you with right-wing propaganda, and “privacy” from an authoritarian government because you’re a journalist trying to protect whistleblowers are all different goals that may require different strategies to achieve.

Efficient activism will make you a target for law enforcement.

…And privacy – better known as OPSEC, in this context – is a big part of how you defend yourself.

In other words, privacy is important because all those “more important problems” are dependent on it!

They’re both really good (considerably better at what they do than FreeCAD is, to be honest), but they don’t do what FreeCAD does. Blender is for art, so that’s a different thing entirely. OpenSCAD does mechanical part design, but it only does mechanical part design. FreeCAD can do architectural CAD, BIM (Building Information Modeling), civil engineering stuff (e.g. working with survey data/site elevation), FEA (Finite Element Analysis), 2D drafting, stuff with NURBS and point clouds, texturing/lighting/rendering, CAM and CNC (i.e. toolpaths for a mill or 3D printer), etc.

Man, we as a community really ought to put more effort and resources helping out FreeCAD.

Not sure if not knowing Krita is a Free Software art drawing/painting app is a pass or a fail…

Oh look, the next iteration of discrimination tactics.

(de-jure segregation →racist deed restrictions → redlining →real estate agent steering →this)

…fuck those useless parents as well. They should not have had kids.

But that’s how the problem started in the first place!

My solution is to continue to only own old (mid-2000s or older) cars in perpetuity.

(And also use a bicycle instead for most trips.)
