With GPL, you're programming Freedom. With MIT, you're programming for free.
  • GPLs "restrictions" are freedom preserving though. It only restricts developers from keeping dirivitive code proprietary. In order to violate the GPL you'd have to choose to use GPL code and then choose not to release your modified versions of it under a similar copyleft license. It may seem counterintuitive, but having those restrictions results in more software freedom overall - similar to the paradox of intolerance.

    I'm not saying MIT or so called permissive licenses are bad, but the permissive/restrictive language is just as loaded as the OPs suggestions. Both styles are needed, but copyleft licenses are better at promoting software freedom.

    Edit: I do agree with you that LGPL serves an important role in promoting free/libre software where it would otherwise would never be used.

  • What was your latest improvement to your Linux setup?
  • Edited my kernal parameters to prevent my CPU from going into a low power state that had been causing crashes for years apparently.

    Edit: if you use 1st gen ryzen and have been putting up with intermittent crashes thinking it was your shitty old used GPU like me, try disabling c-state 6.

  • Can someone remind me what 'thought terminating cliche' means again?
  • Do you think it's some kind of gachya that I believe organizing workforces, community activism, and direct action will do more good for people than simply voting once every couple of years? Did I indicate to you at any point that people shouldn't vote for the less fascist party/candidates? The point is not "Don't vote", it's "Meaningful political change will never come if voting is people's only method for enacting said change."

  • Can someone remind me what 'thought terminating cliche' means again?
  • We agree on that. I don't, however, expect the US democratic party to represent me and my interests. They represent the ruling class just like nearly every major political party around the world. Electoral politics isn't going to change that.

  • DeepFuckingValue update
  • The argument could be made, yes. Until DFV had this level of celebrity he was just a guy doing live streams about his wild investment ideas. That's totally legal, but I'd bet he's wading through murkier waters now though.

  • it's me. I'm the one who rules

    A picture of sexy Sonic the Hedgehog stepping out of the shower with text bubbles saying- "Are you frying chicken, baby? Haha just kidding" "You make a lot of noise when you pee. I like that." Sonic is very sexy.

    Happy May Day!

    My favorite author posted this for May Day. I think its an important message in the midst of anti-genocide protests on college campuses and around the world.

    Never lose hope!

    Pirates, Vampires, and Princes all obey the rule

    A three way vinn-diagram with pirates, vampires, and Princes in the three main circles. At the intersection of pirates and vampires is "classic go-to villains". Vampires and Princes share "living in castles". Princes and pirates both have "stealing from peasants". The shared trait of all three is "wearing these shirts" with a picture of a fancy white shirt with big ruffles on the neck and sleeves.
