Any proprietary code would have to be code that was added on top of that.

That generalization is wrong. If the license does not state that freedom one can revoke said thing. The author(s) can change the entire license.

If not stated you may be able to fork off a previous version. Depending on the CLA (or its absence) you may have to speak with any contributor prior to publishing your fork!!!

So, you had to choose between the code that was still Open Source and the code that was now proprietary.

You are skipping ahead. The code the userbase follows may become the proprietary one.

If you stick with the Open Source, what you describe does not happen.

And this isn’t guaranteed with a permissive license.

If you moved to the proprietary, well, there you are. You clearly decided that the new features were more important than it being Open Source.

If this change happens without the knowledge on the userbase now the Open Source solution needs to advocade for it. And its competition supports all of its features and more. And will clearly upstream any features it adds as well.

Don’t get me wrong - I don’t mean to abandon all projects done by corporations. But a better license gives safety to all users.

Remember, it is only the new features. All the old code remains as open as it ever was.

You are not considering vendor lock-in, upstreaming open source changes, less transparency in regards of security, attributions, changes to contributer license agreements, conflicts of interest and probably more things.

Good luck picking another license than GPL for this requirement.

And it the fork gets adapted the user base doesn’t use an open source project anymore. Changes which aren’t synced get shipped and you can’t substitute anymore.

Permissive licenses are bad: Someone can take your entire code, build upon it, get hand of the userbase and then make weird changes. They don’t protect the users in any form.

Just imagine someone changed the tools you use daily in such a way that none of your workflows are executed in the same way prior.

You just learn this once you are truly affected. And trust me - This sucks hard.

“Stop it Morty! Microsoft just wants to sell licenses to hardware vendors, don’t you see it you, you, you stupid little btch. It’s a conglomerate, Morty!”

!! is the last command in my shell.

Syntax get’s twisted here. Second ^ is inserted automatically. As well as the One after the actual bash line.

What it does: Bind Ctrl+Backspace to cd ...

bind '"^H":"cd ..^M"'

Parents may just don’t talk about it since they try their best to be a role model.

A good answer for them would be: These experiences would be granted if you go to college/university.

You could also ask other loved ones if you don’t want to put them into this position.

Looking back at my life I would simply tell them. Maybe they won’t answer immediately if they have no experience with it but chance is, that they talk about it with someone who may have such experiences and give you their honest opinion (or in your interest).

I started smoking weed when I was 16. I stopped 10 years later. I ruined my brain. I still have trouble recalling stuff. And I am still actively trying to aid this.

When you are fully developed you can handle the addictive behaviour a little better. When doing such things just in the college time you are not damaging your body that much. Would be my suggestion.

It’s expensive and only funny and less addictive when done with trusted ones at a time you do not have responsibilities for others.

Unpopular opinion but if you want to experience with it, go tell one of your caregivers. They might be happy that you come to them first and with such joy make it a shared experience.

Though, you are talking about a drug. So you intentions have to be sincere.

Projects are receiving issues about WSL compatibility issues. So this directly influences FOSS projects.

They would go as far as put bounties for PRs just to get more hold in the community. Just swapping to a permissive license appears to be enough to get contributions.

They can keep their secrets; I won’t ever check this repository out.

Does Lemmy even know what EEE means anymore or are we regurgitating words we heard from some article now?

So either all people of lemmy don’t know shit (you are not included here - implied) or only your assumption is valid: Wrong sources.

What’s it going to embrace and extend?

It embraces the Linux ecosystem and DX on windows. Microsoft is extending the Linux kernel and other Linux projects.

WSL has existed for ages and is just a way to run Linux in a convenient container on top of Windows. That’s it.

To you, yes. Can you speak for any project? Is there not a single project where the userbase are consisting of WSL users with compatability issues? Did you research about it? If so, prompt sources.

It’s not an attempt to “extenguish” Linux, literally just make the development experience on Windows less painful so people don’t switch to another OS. This has nothing to do with EEE.

Trying to bundle the userbase in their subsystem is literally rendering a dedicated Linux machine obsolete. If all would stay there the rest of the distro community would extinguish.

Open sourcing it with a permissive license can only be a good thing,

Can it? Contributing substracts work hours from other projects. So “only be a good thing” is wrong. There are more perspectives then just yours.

and again they’re doing it to be more appealing to devs and maybe get free bug fixes from the open source community.

You got sources about their intentions? You just said it: They are conquering the labor market of personal devs.

It isn’t some grand conspiracy. But of course this community will react to news of “proprietary blob is now open source” with pessimism.

Did you already review the code? No concerns left? How about pulling private servers for data? Is everything mirrored onto their servers? Any binary blobs there? Tracking/monitoring? Is it safe in regards of privacy and security?

Hopefully you see that you ain’t holding all answers and opinions of the entire world. Cheers.

May I?

A controlling department wasn’t granted any money for digitializing their workflow.

So these guys created their own solution(s!). Things like dedicated “user interfaces” loading data from tables created by hand. After years these people realized that data formatting is quite the issue.

They started to put random rules into different tables:

Two empty lines: New Group Data Record. One empty line: New Subgroup Data Record.

Excel tables aggregating this data via hardcoded links.

A dedicated table to start calculations on parent tables.

They mutated data like this:

Load data from excel files into one. Manually delete, add or change lines (or columns). Start a collection run from dedicated excel file and load new excel file data and replace old excel file data.

They had files where ‘it was easier to read’ when they pivot the data. This was troublesome since some values are intermediate results. Dropping one column may imply dropping another one as well.

All workflows required manual alignments along the way.

They were only able to process 10% of the data from a year within a year. Managing millions in cash.

Their data input came from different internal sources. Programs which were written two decades ago once and without any tests. Talking like VB, macro’s from host servers and copy-pasta data from other internal programs.

And don’t get me started on customer tables… They created a zip-code encoded filesystem hierarchy where each customer data (you guessed it, excel file) was renamed and then saved. In each of these directories where randomly named files if something went wrong; So no actual file patterns to rely on.

I respect them.

They creates a diagram for their tables with word. Word! (Didn’t know either: you can select the web view in the bottom right corner and you get an infitive canvas…) Madness.

That’s a projection. I stated that either cultures are mixed or we split by ethics and opinions.

I just talked to my superior about the most urgent thing EU countries are facing currently. I should add that he is 100% disabled but studied in CS and reads everything which is interesting to him and his world view.

When I said that social media dictates the discussions and the media, we agreed on the thought after a short period.

And if we could solve this issue we mostlikely would get awarded a noble price.

What I am trying to say: Social media is run by - at least - flawed people. And used by the evil ones to their maximum, putting the honest Ones into a position to explain.

We are loosing our discourse, we are mixing our cultures - or we split at our ethics.

Social media is a cancer with no current treatment. Civilians will be in favor of social media since it also benefits society directly. But we are diminishing other things with it.

Maybe there will be one more brilliant mind educated who may aid us in these times.

But all leaders have to be on the same page.

And then this needs to be agreed upon once again so that the current president of the european council makes a clear statement.

If they got the balls the transition period will take some time I suppose.

This is what is leveraged currently, imo.

But this isn’t mostlikely the entire world dynamic… Idk.

Feels relevant. Idk shit about guns.

Feedback-time:

He had minor hindrances which we addressed today: Printing, Scanning, Icons on the desktop and some windows software for taxes.

Wile loading I showed him some of your selection:

He liked pingus and in a few months he may pick up domino-chain.

Furthermore he may like townscraper but he hadn’t the nerve to figure out the bindings. I think TinyGlade will be more accessible (Nvidia Optimus works otb with Debian + Gnome-Context Menus).

Unfortunately 2048 was too hard for him currently but we tried.

One can travel the world but only got a backpack… Quite offensive then ;)
