This is great, I think everyone wins here. Normal users like us get a standard, ad-free web experience, while those sending the most annoying web traffic not only get a smaller, simpler response (which should take less processing on the ser

People are getting so pissy over this haha. What a nothingburger. This is a cute little harmless logging line. I'm going to assume all the noisy dissenters are MySQL maintainers, because that head-canon is much funnier.

This is essentially the policy that everyone ought to be taking on code that is shared publicly, and hopefully more GPL users/projects will adopt a similar policy. This is the only real balance between not violating copyright, and allo

As I stated in another comment; when you license code under the GNU GPLv2 (as you are doing whenever you contribute to the kernel), you are making an overt intellectual property claim. Unless you include attribution back to another GNU GPLv

This is incorrect as this is not what I said. I stated 'we' not 'I'. And I did not imply that we haven't been observing, I was stating historically that, with all we have observed about this duress pin case, we have

That certainly seems to be the way the courts are going, which is also quite troubling, considering a plain understanding of software licenses and how LLMs work should clearly demonstrate the issues I outlined above. I don't want to ac

I want to engage with this comment in good faith, but I'm confused on what is trying to be said. Per American Heritage Dictionary 5th Edition: > A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capita

Torvalds' statement was incredibly disingenuous and rather sad. Every single commit is making a legal and political claim. Each commit is saying "this code is my original copyrighted work, and I am licensing it to the world per th

In my mind this always went without saying, but realistically I know most people never think long term about this sort of thing. I've been hosting my own web content for nearly a decade now, including a 6 year old blog, and I've a

Cute idea, and I do think that we have way too much on our news feeds constantly, however, I don't think making news a quarterly ordeal is the right answer - that's a bit extreme. I suppose it differs for everyone, and there'

I had to work with Scala in one class in college and my goodness did I absolutely hate it. I didn't know you could make Java worse, but they found a way. Nothing against the people making tutorials ofc, I just hated the language.

I don't understand how to use this library, as it doesn't seem to indicate what language it is for, but the concept sounds very cool.

100% agree with this. I've been wanting to write an article on a very similar topic myself for some time now. Perhaps I'll finish it and share it here. Absolutely done with this modern 'convenience' and app culture.

Partisan politics aside, frankly, anything data the government publishes like this should be public domain by virtue of it being published by the government . How can the government "for the people by the people" claim propriety&

This is what I use in my main GrapheneOS profile. I still have a dedicated profile for Google Maps though as I still have not been able to give up their greater datasets (i.e. traffic) in all cases. Decent app though. I saw someone here men
