It has always seemed weird that companies are happy to use proprietary software but avoid AGPL software like plague. AGPL being a free software license, usage is not restricted. There's nothing forbidden. If you only intend to use th

You can totally make profits by selling services based on AGPL code btw, it's completely fine. As long as you redistribute your derivative work as AGPL too. There's nothing toxic in the AGPL for you as long as you don't want

Google AMP might have enforced stripped down HTML, but I think you were also supposed to embed their JS as well, probably making a page that was lightweight from the start heavier…

This rewrite is showcased by Anthropic to sell AI rewrites to other companies. If it turns out the rewrite cost stupid amounts of money and leads to a bad outcome, it's just a misleading ad. We developers now need to explain that to il

Depends. I'm surrounded by people who just need light web browsing and emails. They don't really like computers, they want to use them only when absolutely necessary. A Mac from 2012 with a 256-512 GiB SSD and 8 GiB of RAM is plen

You are donating money to Google, one of the richest companies in the world? It really doesn't need your help, and it's already way too powerful. If you have money to spare, can't you give to good causes instead?

That's somewhat beside the point and bayindirh addressed this, but I'll answer to this bit: > I'm going to open source my software so the world can use it for whatever they want! Well, no, it's rarely "for whatev
