I envy your life, as it feels like every year the browser assimilates and consumes more and more.

I think they're just making fun of the bad font kerning in the app which causes a gap in the word Unmanaged

If you're waiting for Jellyfin to run some kind of relay like Plex, you'll be waiting a long time. That takes a lot of money to upkeep, and the demand for people who self-host FOSS and then want to depend on an external service is very minimal, certainly not enough to sustain such a service. I'd recommend just spending a weekend afternoon learning how to set up Nginx Proxy Manager and being done with it, the GUI makes it very easy.

If I were to list every FOSS project that has lasted longer, I'd have to spend all day writing the post. winRAR is unique in that it's one of the only pieces of long-lasting proprietary software that didn't die or turn to crap. Such things are not unique or even rare in FOSS.

WinRAR will either die, or be sold and squeezed by its new owners. Nobody lives forever and no asset goes unflipped in this market. You can say you won't update, but that just leaves you vulnerable.

No they wouldn't. They would happily work with Republicans to fund Israel. I have no idea where you got it in your head that Democrats have any sort of tendency towards contrarianism; they trip over their own feet rushing to work with the Republicans on anything they can to prove they're "moderate" and "non-partisan".

Fair enough. From what country are you a refugee, if you don't mind me asking?

Theyre both right wing states.

... Yeah? And? One is still worse than the other. For example, one of them repeatedly invades its neighbor. And it's still bad when one nation invades another as part of a land grab.

Conscription

Conscription should be opposed in all cases, and unfortunately both sides use them in this war.

I’m not saying they can’t, Im just saying it is going to get more people killed to further supply them.

Actually, what gets people killed is invading other nations. The fact that you have accepted that as a foregone conclusion, and therefore saving lives requires the invaded people not fighting back, speaks volumes to your perspective. I don't accept this as a foregone conclusion. Russia should simply leave, and then people will stop dying.

Okay, but that can’t be taken in ethnically russian areas

I'm not sure what you mean by this.

and doesn’t answer the question.

It did answer the question. I said Ukraine wants to defend itself; you asked what I meant by that, and I said the Ukrainian population overwhelmingly supports the defense efforts. Hence that is what I mean when I say "Ukraine wants to defend itself".

If they push AGPL, then the code is still open

My understanding is that they are only applying AGPL to the current version and going forward all versions will no longer be AGPL. However if they have accepted contributions that were not covered by an agreement to transfer copyright, this is illegal without obtaining explicit approval from all contributors.

Copyleft with commercial restrictions is basically the whole FSF vibe.

No, I don't think you understand the free software movement at all. It has never been strictly noncommercial. Open source has never been a vow of poverty.

Honestly for people like yourself this is exactly what you want for privacy software. [...] This is much ado about nothing; previously the code was unlicensed on GitHub which is much more restrictive than AGPL.

"Can I apply a Creative Commons license to software?"

"We recommend against using Creative Commons licenses for software. Instead, we strongly encourage you to use one of the very good software licenses which are already available. We recommend considering licenses listed as free by the Free Software Foundation and listed as “open source” by the Open Source Initiative. "

"Unlike software-specific licenses, CC licenses do not contain specific terms about the distribution of source code, which is often important to ensuring the free reuse and modifiability of software. Many software licenses also address patent rights, which are important to software but may not be applicable to other copyrightable works. Additionally, our licenses are currently not compatible with the major software licenses, so it would be difficult to integrate CC-licensed work with other free software. Existing software licenses were designed specifically for use with software and offer a similar set of rights to the Creative Commons licenses."

Android managed it, so can desktop Linux. We just need manufacturers who will ship it as default.

They didn't say we can stop it at our individual points of consumption. They explicitly mentioned policy. People need to be willing to support policy that will drastically change their own lives, likely in ways they don't even realize, and be ready to live with that. Otherwise pretty soon we won't be living with much at all.

So did internet forums. Where are they these days? Oh, they all became subreddits as users moved away to the convenience of reddit.

Moving from isolated forums to an aggregate community is a huge quality of life change. We're talking about them convincing people who are already on the Fediverse to move to their Fediverse server, which is a side grade, offered to people who almost all hate Facebook already. There's no hook there, and nobody has given me an even slightly plausible pathway that'll convince anybody to move over. There's just vague gesturing and unspoken implications.

Nobody here wants to use their server. We all know how bad they are. We're here because of them. But suddenly a nonspecific siren call is gonna move us all over? It just doesn't make sense. I can think of plausible ways we can gain users from this. I can't find any plausible way to lose users or cause damage to the Fediverse that doesn't involve mind control.
