Armin Ronacher once put it like this (quoting from memory), why should I choose GPL if I don’t plan on enforcing copyleft? The GPL is an attempt at software freedom by restricting freedoms to have a lever that leads to greater overall free

It would definitely not be my motivation. I would not modify the gnu coreutils in many cases because they lack tests and are sometimes written in pre-ansi c. At some point the GNU project focused their attention more on leading “gnu + Linux

I have this botched up Debian desktop installation that I rarely use but never quite got around to make a clean install because I need an installation medium for that and i don’t have usb sticks anymore. Do change root installs still work?

There was this sweet spot for a while where Gentoo just worked like a breeze, Where there weren't too many and too few useflags and when I would recompile Open Office when my dorm room was too cold in cold winter nights.

Starting out from the blog post, it talks essentially about Make as it was intended, as a build system to compile programs with. Make maps this to the task of producing a file from input files, which are written down in the form of rules in

I prefer task over just, while I am not a huge fan of YAML, we now use it everywhere so it just makes sense to not learn yet another DSL for Just and just use YAML.

Yes and no. I think what you say is definitely the goal for day-to-day contributions. However, there are changes to a code base that are more "Manhattan project" in nature where not all changes can be neatly packaged into their ow

I think there is a certain danger associated. I was a watcher of a few Wikipedia lemmas on esoteric topics and it was quite hard to keep these articles grounded in reality, I believe some actors on there were Astro turfing to sell more scam

Older cartoons of the west often feature (primarily as a villain) the "dog catcher".

I mean as long as they don't start again too late it should be fine, right? For now, if they catch a dog the chances are high its already treated. So the return of reward is comparably low. Once the unvaccinated/unsterilized popu

I’m all for workers protection but by this logic possible workers should get their commute costs covered by additional pay and at some point maybe the negotiated salary should be the default pay.

I assume you are asking in good faith. I could configure my browser to add some custom headers to my HTTP requests, like `DONTDOTHISTHINGTHATISIMPORTANTTOME` or something. I don't think courts would accept that, as it's not an est

Not a lawyer, but basically the website cannot distinguish whether a DNT setting was enabled by default or whether the user intended to set it so it really does not matter. It must be assumed that the user enabled the DNT setting. Let'
