What's your point? This mess is caused by Google policies, not technical considerations. You can still install Termux from F-Droid. We can argue about Android being a horrible OS for all sorts of reasons but that's a separate disc

Seeing how the Linux name is used in practice, it's useful to clarify.

by jraph 1y ago
You are talking about the OS while the person you are discussing with is speaking about the kernel. The Linux kernel has its own merits outside standard Linux userspace. I agree, saying that the fact standard Linux distros and Android share

Rachel worked at Facebook for some time a while ago. She's been consistently mentioning the cat pictures to refer to it in her blog. I suppose this way of referring to it is also meant to belittle it. I assume the "the whole genoc

You have at least two options for this in KDE software: - you add the button you often use to the toolbar - you use the keyboard shortcut, that you can customize

Here's my attempt at a summary (likely biased, not complete, with mistakes). Basically, aside the mentions of bugs and the hatred against Wayland, the author dislikes the trend everywhere to hide buttons behind menus in the name of a b

I was generic and not talking about PHP specifically. In the case of PHP, this isn't happening, so if you are only concerned with PHP, you can ignore these theoretical considerations (however, because of the "or later" clause

The PHP Group can do anything they want since they can release a new version of the license without contributor approval because of the "or later" clause.
764.
by jraph 1y ago
Yep, that's my "however". For PHP, the new license will apply to version 9 and later if the proposal is adopted.

I'm quite convinced this clause says you cannot make it seem like the original authors endorse your derivative product, the BSD license is so widespread I would assume if your interpretation was correct we would have seen many issues b

The new license covers and applies to all the code, even code that was written before the change. You can totally change the license of already released code, if the change is compatible with the precious license or if you have permission f

I don't think it does because trademark laws and individual rights already work like this by default.

This clause doesn't allow people to write you, it prevents them from doing stuff without written permission. And that's the default. Trademark laws and laws that protect individuals already work like this. I'm not even sure t

A runner that runs "programs" coming from extensions is about as close to this principle as possible, no?

by jraph 1y ago
Another runner which can be extended and runs on Linux is KRunner, the one that comes with KDE. Should this inspire you.

In French neither, I took this as a figure of speech where facetiousness is likened to a weapon.

At this point, answering to a "rewrite it in Rust" comment which doesn't go into details is a cultural faux pas, you just smile or roll your eyes and move on :-)

Not sure what's your point, netbooks like the eee PC are starting to become ancient history anyway. When it comes to our current era, Dell, Lenovo and HP computers sold with Linux are fine, and there's KDE-related hardware that se
