Redis should step up and fund an independent foundation now and encourage Valkey to contribute where relevant. Some code under a 3 clause BSD and some under AGPLv3 could be interesting.

AGPL isn’t cancer. It’s a license that exists to solve a particular problem: the proliferation of free software in a world of network services. If you don’t like it, don’t use AGPLv3 software. Those of us who do like it will keep writing AG

For the Switch any amount of flash memory for those game cards is expensive. They previously offered much smaller, slightly cheaper cards that started at 2GB. Unfortunately this time they’re only offering 64GB cards or these key cards. I’m

Is this because Amazon is shipping less or because Amazon is shipping more using their own delivery services?

Couple of questions: * the internet or just the web? * Any Windows/macOS/Linux or do you want broken down by versions? * What about mobile iOS and Android stuff?

I’ve never used a Roku device that didn’t feel very laggy and slow to use. I get they’re cheap but family who have one have replaced them a couple of times. I bought an Apple TV seven years ago and it’s doing just fine. I have no reason to

Red Dwarf fans can see Lister riding around on his “space bike” in early episodes which is just a Sinclair C5 with some handles and a few other things added on for decoration.

Yeah I never used them before I worked at the FSF. The FSF used the Chicago Manual of Style.

Changing prices and adding profanity is one thing but when you alter the allergens on a menu you put people’s lives at risk.

There are no bookstores in Camberville, because Camberville is Trina’s and only Trina’s, everything else is Cambridge or Somerville.

I think keeping the address up to date makes sense. At the same time the FSF should have gotten a PO BOX in 1985. When I worked at Creative Commons we closed the office down there too and I got a PO BOX in Mountain View where the office was

I thought this was about Kinder, the chocolate company. Title case got me.

By the time I joined in 2008, I don't think they were being offered anymore as IIRC the person locally who was handling the compiling and tape archiving didn't have access to the systems anymore.

I used to work at the FSF and one of my jobs was replying to these letters. They would be so infrequent by 2008 that I think I handled less than 10 in my time there. I sent way more copies of books to prisoners who requested them, gave more

It’s a shame you can’t just write . and have it work for all TLDs/ccTLDs

I want reduce-motion to give me a way to set that for all sites.

by mattl 1y ago
Not a bad idea. I hope you do it.

by mattl 1y ago
Oh cool! I have it from SetApp I believe. You could release it under a copyleft license like the GPL v3 and change the branding for the open source version with a generic logo, none of your trademarks, etc.

What is your app or what does it do?

I have that and dark mode on all the time. It’s sad the number of sites that don’t support it.

Now I think of it, how do you install a pkg from the CLI?

The effect on that page is awful. I also suspect not great on older Macs.

Put it under the AGPL 3 or later. Bad actors won’t touch that license typically
