Not the original commenter, but if the code is as messy as the blog post states, a fork might not be the ideal choice. Might be better to start cutting out libraries, then implement bespoke, feature-specific applications on top of them.

I am personally not a fan of Forgejo relicensing (to AGPL). Makes the "soft fork" aspect so much harder, because anything contributed to Forgejo cannot be easily cherry picked onto Gitea.

The source code is literally 20 lines, very easy to audit. You can put the static download in your Mozilla folder to avoid auto-updates. It is a nice quality of life thing for me. But yeah definitely not necessary as you can always edit the URL yourself, as the extension author helpfully notes.

There is an extension to go straight to the webjoin link. you can also just edit the link manually.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/zoom-redirect...

Check the screenshot. You just need to edit the "/j/" part of the path to "/wc/join/".

Some may have realized that publicizing their net worth is both tacky and painting a target on their back.

You built a formula 1 race car and tossed the keys to kids with ego problems. Now i have to deal with Win10 0-days because this garbage.

Never before have I been so motivated to write open source software.

Yes, but the spirit of "like the BSD license, but go even further and put no conditions on it" is pretty self-evident from the name, as long as you've heard of 4/3/2/1 clause BSD licenses.

I think that is worth something. Something quite marginal, to be sure. But still a nicety.

Another good reason to throw this license in the trash and just use the older, better named 0BSD license that is shorter and has the same effect.

In spirit, yes.

In practice, the wording is much more legally problematic in the WTFPL. And licenses such as MIT-0 or 0BSD contain liability waivers that are not present in the WTFPL

Expression languages like Nix, Jsonnet, Dhall, and Cue are really nice in these situations.

This is, unwittingly, the most YAML-relevant comment in this thread.
CameronNemo

Many parsers either default to YAML pre-1.2 or do not even expose a YAML 1.2 option. PyYAML has no 1.2 option, for example. So unless Ansible is using something other than PyYAML...

Relevant (open) PR: https://github.com/yaml/pyyaml/pull/555

Sounds like they want to run a degoogled ROM on their device, which is paradoxically much easier with the Google Pixel line than other devices out there.

The commenter implied that they plan to use a non stock ROM, presumably to get their data and device away from Google cloud services.

But English and Chinese influenced countries comprise a significant portion of the world. The top 3 most populous countries use dots for decimals (China, India, United States) according to your link.

They should really have trained models based on the license, so a GPL-2.0-only model, 2+, 3+, 3 only LGPL 2.1(+), CDDL, MIT, et cetera.

As it stands, the combined inputs leaves the model in the most murky of gray areas.

The arguments are already weak. The judicial precedent, however, is strong. Microsoft will continue to publish proprietary ML models and profit off them, at the expense of the corpus authors (us lowly laborers).

Agreed. I am considering relicensing all of my permissively licensed code because of this. The fundamental assumptions I had when releasing that code under a permissive license have been violated.

Personally, I make a distinction between legal and socially acceptable.

If one of the richest corporations on Earth can't be bothered to share patches for permissively licensed code that they use, I will gladly shame them.

It's a different story for a small shop with no legal department and wariness about being sued over its use of open source code.

Sometimes we have to deal with VMs admin'd by other people.
