> we have to eat to live You don't have to eat a burger. Skip one McDonald's trip per year and you're going to offset all your prompting water waste (see other comments in the thread).

Instability is more due to mainstream traffic, combined (+ AI automation pushes on pointless repos). They're part of a trillion(!!!)-dollar company and want to be an essential part of SW dev workflow. They ought to act like it.

Maybe Mitchell will pull a Linus and, out of frustration, take a weekend off to write the distributed infrastructure for issues, PRs, actions, etc. around git.

On a much smaller scale (niche personal projects), I'm also planning to leave Github (probably for a local forgejo or even gitweb). The vast majority of features GH offers are of no use to me. In fact, in the age of vibe coding, zero-f

I've been using LocalSend for quite some time now, after hearing about it for years. It's not a new one.

I just spent 15 minutes I don't have, browsing your site and chuckling. Thank you! :-) (PS. maybe just freeze it so it's up but don't spend / spend minimal time on maintenance, if that's possible?) (PPS. maybe integ

If I stop, hibernate or power off the laptop, the data is most definitely not lost.

I tested it with my standard test - HTML/JS minesweeper. From the user POV, the result is great and subjectively equivalent to Opus 4.5. I also asked Claude Code (Opus 4.7) and Codex (GPT-5.4) to review both qwen's output and that

Not disagreeing with you, but cases like these really highlight how (L)GPL can nudge vendors into doing more closed solutions with greater lock-in. For example, we're complaining about a licensing issue for an app that can run locally
132.

LGPL permits that. However, some popular codecs use GPL, which, if enabled, would require to distribute the rest of the code under it as well.

You use a free template that's done in Next.js and uses its Image component, so you need a server. Everything runs fine locally until you try to deploy it, and bam you need 4g ram machine to run the thing. So you host it on Vercel for

Well you did say your data is lost when a disk fails, which is not true. Parent pointed out that for you. Yeah you pay for and get additional stuff with cloud. Nobody disputed that.

This entire comment is completely backwards. Linux gained momentum first, then it was adopted by the wider industry. It's much easier to upstream your desired changes than maintain a separate fork (closed or otherwise) long-term. Add

I'm trying to understand the actual harm you think would come to free software if in fact there were no copyright, hence no GPL.

My point exactly (notice I didn't say MS distributes bash - it doesn't, as you pointed out). Bash being GPL doesn't stop MS from benefiting from it by providing it to WSL users which make WSL more valuable for them. It also (

Awesome. If you think that is stopping anyone, here's a challenge for you: GNU Bash is GPL. You can run Bash (and many other Linux commands) in Windows through Windows Subsystem for Linux. In fact, WSL is a nice example of Microsoft do

And how does that exactly stop Amazon, Google or Microsoft (heh) from running GPLd software in their data centers and raking in money for hosting products built by poor open source devs? I'm not worried about Microsoft recompiling bash

Reading through the comments here, most use cases is running an agent with some input in a cron job. Anthropic now have Routines in Claude Code that do precisely that, and I’d bet they will bring that to Cowork. ChatGPT can’t be far behind

Ad. 1, I’m not saying Spotify is perfect, though in this case I would not be surprised if the algorithm was mandated by the record labels as the industry standard. Ad 2, you’ll be surprised to hear the labels only held cumulative 20% stake

If there’s no copyright, there’s no closed source. You get their code, decompile/disassemble and reuse as you see fit. You might argue that doesn't help much if they never distribute that code (only runs on their servers). Here’s

Nitpick: that’s trademark, not copyright. While it’s bundled under IP, it’s a different beast altogether.

Correction: to record labels. When you read artists' blog posts you can see they get peanuts. Not due to Spotify - due to the recording deals. If you want an exhaustive but eye-opening account of all of the details, I recommend "A
