If you have some fos licensed software it will be foss forever, that licence is a contract and doesn’t go away. Now the author(s) of that code can license it to other people or release the newer versions with a different non-foss licence.

Edit: came back from the article, his second name is actually Jonathan lol. He must be the son of our former legendary leader Mary Ann Tifa.

Not the commenter you’re asking, but I do consider the MIT licence a bad one for something like a core part of an OS. Not all FOSS licences are created equal, there’re even important differences between the different GPLs (GPL2 is more permissive than GPL3, for example. With AGPL you have to grant the freedoms to the users even if the software is running out of your server, which isn’t a thing with GPL2/3), and even the most permissive ones have a reason to exist, but I’m yet to hear (or read) a good one for these uutils, so I’m not touching any distro or project that uses these mit core utils with a ten foot pole.

As far as I know uutils has always been under an mit licence, hasn’t it?

You are very right. While non-copyleft licences makes sense for some software (a game engine like Godot, for example, released under the MIT licence) it’s absolutely awful for the coreutils.

You could’ve made this ‘meme’ with, literally, any service or product, couldn’t you?

Wasn’t the python convention to use spaces (4 iirc)? Which is just plain wrong imho.

I understand the joke, mate. My comment was about the l word, see my answer to the other commenter (so I don’t have to repeat myself or pollute the thread copy-pasting it).

I mean the word ‘libertarian’ doesn’t mean what op, or (most) Americans, think it means.

Not an exhaustive list, but someone’s NOT a libertarian if they’re a bigot, they ‘back the blue’, defend or support not only billionaires but any other kind of exploiter (this would include ‘employers’, landlords, investors… and anyone profiting from other people’s labor), enlist voluntarily into the armed forces…

The link is the site of an actually libertarian workers union.

Bit tired of fascists appropriating it, even if they smoke weed.

So if someone tells grok it’s April 30th 1945… would it self destruct?

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

People here saying single handle faucets must have much better ones than what we’ve got where I’m from, no fucking chance of getting the same temperature again after shutting it. And the middle of it is extremely sensitive, it goes from 10% to 90% in like the middle two millimeters, and I think the pressure of the hot water overcomes the cold’s so you have to turn a bit left and then right again to stabilize the temp.

For my shower, which is the one that matters most for me, I got a thermostatic one—you set the temperature on the right handle and the flow on the left one, and that’s it, perfect temperature forever. Even if someone flushes, which only happens when my sister is visiting because she doesn’t understand boundaries, it doesn’t change one whole degree for more than a second, only the flow is be affected.

As a side note my grandma’s bath tube some 30+ years ago (it had probably another 30 or more) had two handles for hot-cold, left and right, and then another two for the shower-faucet flow, up and down. It wasn’t as fine tuned as my modern one, but worked quite well. You would only open or shut without touching the proportion of hot/cold.

Japanese gooners instantly aroused.

Tin-lead solder is what you use to solder electronics. Don’t use it for pipes, tho, for that you want tin-silver.

Even though, knowing how physics works, putting anything in orbit with only a cannon is not possible, no matter how powerful it is, I wholeheartedly agree we should try it with Elon anyway.

When I pour my dog’s food I tell her ‘yes! This is super rich and tasty food for very small, and very good, and very beautiful doggies! D’ya see? It says it right here (it doesn’t, actually, it only says it’s for small dogs but she can’t read), see? There’s even a picture! But this doggy isn’t as good, or as beautiful, or as small as my wee girl is, is it?’ And then I have to pet her, kiss her on the fore head, and point to her plate and say ‘come on! Do eat it!’ Or she just would keep staring at me like waiting.

I recognise their username. It’s half sane takes, half absolute wankery with them.

It has many variations: ‘hijoputa’, ‘hijo de puta’, ‘hijo de la gran puta’, ‘hijo de la gran putísima’, ‘hijo de mil putas’…

Yup, but you forgot the part when the tip of the right femur went out through their butthole…

Not exactly. Citizenship, in this context of ancient Athens, did exclude women and slaves, but wasn’t related to wealth or land ownership. Basically, it was tied to the obligation of military service.
