I assume these are internet friends, otherwise yeah just talk at school and discuss the scam over phone or whatever.

Another reminder to ditch Discord.

Perhaps patients have their place but software patients make no sense. One big issue is that it is not practical to avoid writing a system that already exists because there are many, many ways to describe the same software system. It’s so difficult to search every term that might be used that multiple people could have already patented the same thing and be unaware the other exists.

Only US allowed to spy on it’s denizens!!1

People not being sure what their router is actually doing is the issue. Instead of hoping for local manufactoring why not mandate against black box software running on the router? Mandate routers come with schematics like all electronics used to do? Promote computer literacy while you’re at it.

I can’t wait for people to have proprietary software running on their wifi brain implant

The zed-industries Github repository lists Zed licenses as AGPL, Apache and GPLv3.

The AGPL refers to the GNU Affero General Public license, which does not limit others from competing. Unless you mean the fact that forks must share source code when accessed over a network?

Never understood a terms of service existing if the project code license is GPL or such. Can’t this just be forked and cured of anti features, if people value it enough to do so?

Binding arbitration (aka, if we break the law you can’t sue us) ought to be illegal in every country.

Please do not, that’s disgusting, thank you.

Who decides what SecureBoot considers trustworthy? If SecureBoot is controlled by someone else then it can be used against the user. The aversion to SecureBoot is justified.

How do I "uncertify"y Android device? Install a fork I guess. Shame it’s not as easy as installing a new OS on the desktop.

Tell me about fruit.

Everyone is at a different point in their understanding of the issue of proprietary software. Spreading good ideas is still good, perhaps better for younger people with only modern technology experience.

FFmpeg has faced some criticism for this DMCA takedown

Such as?

If Deputy Attorney General John Fowler said that tgen he is an asshole. I don’t accept the premiss of assholes.

Ya’ll have phones?

Maybe I should not, if it can be taken with no articulable reason given.

Non-commercial terms hinder the ability of others to fork a project, which is a concern if something bad inevitability happens. [They give into temptation and add anti-features, or people do/say something which makes them untrustworthy or unassociatable].

‘Organize your co-workers’ is not a normal thing to say as it implies you have control over them but coworkers are equal. It reads “organize your staff” in a how_do_you_do_fellow_kids.png way. "Organize with your coworkers’ may come off better but “around AI” isn’t explicit either in support or opposition to AI. So what the title means has to be inferred.

I had assumed it was more spam.

The title and the generic image.

Calling it, next update includes forced arbitration clause for accidental bricking.

I think that’s someone else (if you were unaware).
