To rephrase what I said, they explicitly tell you they are not interested in money as a concept at all. They prefer to have none… they basically want to have nothing and wish that the rest of the world believed the same thing.

You must not be active in any chat systems that are frequented by FOSS developers then? I see it constantly across Matrix, IRC, XMPP and other places.
The bigger problem to me is that I have seen an untold number of open source developers that despise all manner of capitalism in the first place, so you can’t even pay them to work on things. It’s like they just want everyone to live under a rock in the woods and all be poor together or something. That’s not going to progress society very much IMO.
I have. You just don’t hang out in the “right” places
it converts to a true open source license after a predefined period of time
What happens if that time never comes for the company and it goes out of business?
we’re carving a space for companies to safely share
To be fair, it’s no safer than being GPL etc. in that any license is only as useful as your ability to enforce it in court. For a bad actor, whether they violate a fair source license vs a GPL likely isn’t much of a concern at all.
People who want RT are not everyday people though.
How does an average desktop user benefit from any RT changes?
I don’t think that comparison is fair because I explicitly said that people who wanted RT are already going out of their way to get things done. The average desktop user (putting GPS in every phone) won’t benefit from it (or RT) and it could likely make their experience even worse.
I can see the argument from both sides… and maybe both is true. I think the same could be said about twitter… having to login to read tweets means they can easily track who looks at what… which is very valuable information to a lot of people with money.
But the RT patches have been available for 20 years… not sure why the fact that it is mainlined would suddenly expand its popularity? It might be easier to get started sure, but people doing RT were already going to such troubles anyway.
I wish they didn’t switch to requiring a login to search code… seems like a big privacy issue cause you just know they’re saving all those searches and associating it with your account.
this is dangerous advice. courts can still subpoena the usenet provider for your information.
pretty sure it’s been a thing since even before free compilers

So just using your stovetop/oven exposes you to toxic gases? that doesn’t sound safe.
I guess that’s why some oven manufacturers tell you not to use it around birds.
yes
I’m not sure what people think AI was ever going to be… every time something new comes out it’s always dismissed because “it’s basically just a X that does Y”. I think that will continue to be the case until there is some literal connection to actual brains, in which case the concept of what a brain is will probably be questioned as well.
Reminder that sites like israel.tv are still “illegal” to visit and all US ISPs are forced to block it, even though this directly contradicts Net Neutrality.
