Doesn't dynamic DNS solve this problem? I have used that for a service on a home server set up for friends. I haven't had any connectivity problems using the dynamic DNS address, although, to be fair my dynamic IP address has st

So you're saying that it is bad for people to complain when they are shafted. That they should look on the bright side for whatever they were subjected to. And you are saying that you want to hire people that will not complain when th

Just because you don't like a licenses obligations does not make the license cancerous. People that call it cancerous are doing that only because they want to get peoples work and do not want to give back any work they do on the GPL&#x

You clearly are ignoring fair use, because you are so invested in supporting incumbents for some reason. Would you like to tell why you think that just because someone makes something that a powerful incumbent doesn't like, that is mu

I disagree that basic income and minimum wage is about the same thing. I would be interested in where you have got the data from for that assertion that it was because of a tech boom and subsequent real estate boom. At the moment I believe
