  • What's with the move to MIT over AGPL for utilities?

    跳过

  • If you're developing software for a platform that doesn't allow users to replace dynamic libraries (game consoles, iOS, many embedded/commercial systems), you won't be able to legally use any GPL or AGPL libraries.

    While I strongly agree with the motives behind copyleft licenses, I personally never use them because I've had many occasions where I was unable to use any available library for a specific task because they all had incompatible licenses.

    I release code for the sole purpose of allowing others to use it. I don't want to impose any restrictions on my fellow developers, because I understand the struggle it can bring.

    Even for desktop programs, I prefer MIT or BSD because it allows others to take snippets of code without needing to re-license anything.

    Yes I understand that means anyone can make a closed-source fork, but that doesn't bother me.If I wanted to sell it I might care, but I would have used a different license for a commercial project anyway.

  • Ughh I fucking hate when this happens.I get that you can't load everything at once, but put some placeholder stuff there so the link I'm about to click doesn't shift halfway down the page a millisecond before I click.

  • Ah yes, because you absolutely must hate and dehumanise everyone who shares a different belief to you. You aren't allowed to speak to or be friendly to anyone who has shared shitty views in the past, because how else could we possibly know that you don't share 100% of their opinions?

    You're free to limit your communication to only those who share your views, if that's what you find comfortable. But there can be many mutually-benefical reasons to befriend those who you dislike.

    Anyway, I'm about done with this conversation, as I don't believe either of us will come out of it with a different view.

    Feel free to get the last word in if that helps you sleep easier. Seeing that you replied to a comment that's almost a week old, I wouldn't be surprised if you do.

  • It's not a viral copyleft license, so you're free to use the source code without giving anything back.

    This has pros and cons over something like GPL, but people like to circlejerk GPL and pretend it's always the best option 100% of the time.For situations where you have to sign an NDA and are unable to release source code (eg; console game dev), MIT and BSD licensed projects are a godsend.

  • Sure. Lets just ignore ladybird/serenity and the positive impact Andreas is making because he didn't accept a commit that changed a pronoun for a system account on the operating system he wrote from a 'he' to a 'they'.

    And lets ignore that it's been changed since. People 'never' change, so lets fuck up their entire career and public image for life.

    Yeah no thanks.

    If you think that comment outweighs all the positive impacts Andreas is making, that's your prerogative. I'm not interested in holding everyone up to such high expectations.

    If that makes me a simp in your eyes, so be it.

  • If you read the commit, you would see it was referring to a built-in non-human account.In no way did he assume the gender of any people, so who cares if he referred to a built-in account of his operaring system as 'he' instead of 'they'?A more accurate description would have been 'it'.

    As somebody who also identifies as LGBT, I don't want or need your permission to feel anything.I don't feel guilty for not participating in the cancel culture of the internet.

  • The guy literally created javascript. It shouldn't be a surprise that somebody who's developing a web browser holds some amount of respect for him.

    We could argue about this all day, but neither of us are Andreas, so we shouldn't be assuming his beliefs based on a few interactions on social media.

    None of this should get in the way of the web browser's success anyway, because it's not relevant to the project.

  • Game consoles tend to have a webkit-based browser (ps3/4/5/vita, wiiu/3ds/switch).All iOS browsers are webkit-based, due to apple's restrictions.

  • What cheering?Are you trying to convince me that making a neutral meme about a shitty person's success is equatable to supporting/being a nazi?

  • So there's no issue with Andreas, just some people he's interacted with before?

    It's great to hear he doesn't partake in dehumanising others for their past behaviour/statements :)

  • Which browser do you use and why?

    跳过

  • Ah fair enough, can't argue with personal preference.You sure you weren't using waterfox classic though? That has a more dated UI than the current version.

    I personally use librewolf anyway, but waterfox is still a pretty decent step up from Firefox, privacy-wise.

  • Which browser do you use and why?

  • Interesting. What did you dislike about waterfox?

  • Ah, gotcha.Just researched a bit and noticed it's an official term used by the UN.

    It just sounds a little weird, as somebody from a southern nation that this doesn't seem to apply to.

    China is also in the northern hemisphere, so it also seems strange that it's called 'global south'.

    Something like 'low economic' would have made a lot more sense to me, but I guess 'global south' is the official term.

  • What has capitalism done to the global south?Is that just a metaphor, or are you literally talking about Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, South America and Antarctica?

    Sorry, I'm just a little confused about what you mean.
