Hmm I was gonna suggest Mastodon. I always thought it allowed long-form writing similar to blog posts.

Didn’t someone create this same thing a few weeks ago? 🤔

Ubuntu here as well! Sticking with just the LTS versions tho 😎

These were great in their day, but it’s time to move on to something better and safer.

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? 😳

Oh neat! I didn’t know this existed. By any chance, do you know of any RSS readers that have implemented it?

Is there one for the other sites like bbc.com?

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.

Yeah, depending on the branch I’ve found that method not to be too reliable. openrss offers branches for RSS feeds for commits on every branch though: e.g. https://openrss.org/github.com/octokit/octokit.rb/commits/main

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? 🤔
