The compatibility stuff really do need understanding.

You can't use all other projects in your GPL project and your GPL project cant be used within every project.

permissive licenses really do have no compatibility since they forbid nothing and allow everything (which isnt good most of the time) so tgey are simpler to use.

This is the most american thing I've seen in a while 😂

I'm not sure but theres something in my mind bout MIT being the first suggested license for github.

and also, to be real, you need to do some reasearch and actually understand the GPL license if you want to use it for your project. But with MIT you can just slap it on there and forget. It's convenient, but like a lot of conveniences, can be very bad.

I think a part of it may be that they are from the younger generation like myself, and most of them don't really know the history of software and FOSS, and MIT is just a safe option for them. I think they haven't really put in the time to read and undertstand the philosophy and logic behind FOSS and read the licenses and writings.

Your ignorance is annoying.

It's just so powerful and versatile. I've been only using it for less than a year, but you can do most things with clojure, and do them good.

GUI, Web backend, frontend, logic programminc, scripting, CLI tools, and so on.

After you get the hang of it and REPL driven development, your productivity keeps getting more.

One thing that makes me really believe in it is how people that are good with it are so productive with it, I would say more that other languages. There are so many great projects built by a small team or solo devs in clojure.

We like the Rust, we hate the cuck license. Simple.

Mattermost is indeed, a dick. They try to leech off of contributors like many of corporate focused open source products do.

I think for most people and normal users, its the most important part of a system.

I'm a software engineer and I've been using only i3wm and sway for the past 3 years. I don't really need a DE. But when I do (very,very rarely) I always prefer Xfce, and after that, Plasma.

I would also suggest Clojure as his next language. not as popular as go or kotlin but its hinestly magical.

Hi Redshift isn't maintained anymore and lately redshift-gtk doesnt start anymore (something about a python circular dependancy).

What should we use?

Hi guys.

I have an android head unit for my car that only manages multimedia, navigation and stuff. it also has multiple physical buttons and knobs. It’s offbrand so can name the particular brand or model.

can I for example upgrade the OS?

Hi everybody. I have a rooted phone and I was thinking, If I can spin up something like Samsung DEX on my phone, alongside my android, that uses Linux, I can do 80% of my work just with my phone. Is that doable? Can someone provide me with more information?

Focalboard administration (programming.dev)

Hi guys. I want to deploy focalboard as a replacement for trello in our company, my confusion is : How can I manage the focalboard instance? (Doccker) For example manage boards, manage users, limit user access so anyone from the web can't just register and use our instance.

I asked in the mattermost groups but the support groups are totally dead. No response.

Hi guys. So I'm wondering, is it safe(privacy wise) to integrate my google account into my GNOME desktop, only giving mail and calendar permissions to it? It's nice to have my calendar events into my top bar. (Please give technical answers)

How to monetize services? (programming.dev)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by somegeek@programming.dev to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Hi guys. how can I monetize my rustdesk servers? like, imagine I tell client X to pay 1$/month for using my server, how can I authenticate users? (prevent others from using the server so only people who are paying can use).

CONTEXT: I live in a country with very limited internet (like china) so using public servers is not good. I would also have to be able to maintain the costs of the server. so this is not illegal and not unethical.
