I love a friendly debate 😀:
The statement says How can you steal something that the customer cannot own?. You can definitely steal it if “you” aren’t the customer. And you can steal it from a “customer” even if the customer doesn’t own it and someone else does. And you can steal if even if you are the customer, because you aren’t the owner. The only time you can’t steal it is if you are the owner, because you own it.
The definition of “steal” you mention seems to be proving the point I’m making. Something can be stolen if the person stealing it isn’t the owner, which is the case in the first three examples I mentioned above.
The statement is an odd play on words and loaded with assumptions that are left up to the reader, which is why it’s super weird to use it to try to prove the point the author was trying to make.
if buying isn’t owning, then piracy isn’t stealing. How can you steal something that the customer cannot own?
By stealing it? You dont have to own something to steal it. Or maybe I’m reading that wrong. Lol it’s a very interesting take but I like the spirit of it… And it made me laugh. Cool 😎
WOM has and will always be the best form of marketing and you dont need big marketing teams to do it.
The problem is that a company doesnt need that many people to push a product. They can just pay the few they need, well. But instead, they’d just rather hire a shit ton of people and under pay all of them.
This reply reads like we should have to pay for these big unnecessary marketing teams these companies hire, which shouldn’t be the case.
Sure but new versions are released pretty often, which essentially means they can change their license whenever they want.
Interesting idea. A couple questions:
How would it work if the open source maintainer is a commercial company?
AFAIK there are no restrictions on when an Open source maintainer can change their license. They can do it even after their work has already been used.
So couldn’t a company like, Facebook (since they own open source React) just change their React license to this one and all of sudden start charging everyone for it? 🤔
Nice! I was looking for something like this the other day. Also great that it’s available on Flathub.
Who are these people downvoting these posts? 😆
I feel the same way about RSS feeds. It’s a technology meant to keep up with updates on nearly anything across the internet. Even social media sites. It’s been available for ages. But no one is pushing for sites to provide them. 🤷♂️
We know that’s you, Brutus.
Ooh that reminds me. Been cranky all morning…
This is 👍. For those wondering, RFCs have been around for years in software engineering–since the beginning of the internet, practically.
As a software engineer myself, I can confidently say they’re a great way to build complex software in a more democratic way.
They require a certain level of agreement and consensus, which makes them take a while to ratify. But you almost always end up with better software in the end.
Take that, Stack Overflow! Programming.dev on deck!!! Let’s gooooooo
Yeah I think this was hastily done to prevent the XSS injection attacks that were happening IIRC. They implemented encoding for content, but looks like they never got around to fully decoding it.
Issue could’ve been avoided by just restricting the encoding to when the user types content in (and before database insertion), and decoding when showing the content in the UI.
It’s going to be interesting to see the reaction of all of these people who are gladly giving away all of their private/personal data and online behaviors for free. Just makes it easier for these companies to censor, retaliate, or use it against them when they’re ready.
Inoreader. Syncs across multiple devices too.
I think you meant to link to https://podcast.asknoahshow.com instead?
My comment is in reference to the UI. Auth and APIs require a different set of tech and have nothing to do with the UI.
How is it “safer” when contributing to the codebase or filing and discussing issues will now require creating an account and giving up personal information to one of the most privacy-invasive tech companies in the world? 😳
