You know what I figured out as a man? Just listen to the other party in this order of increasing priority: body language, facial expression, their words. MAIN THING TO AVOID: Never assume they are/will be comfortable with you. Never assume consent with body language or facial expression. If they want to be romantically involved THEY will approach you.

Before I was married my mind was on alert talking women in order not to come off as creepy. This was with women whom I had purely platonic relationships like my coworkers or college mates. I am aware the effect men have with their staring. To this day when I am walking on the street I make sure to not walk behind women. If I can i overtake them. If not I just change directions even if my destination is straight ahead. Treating the nonfamily women in my life like I would treat men should be the right thing to do... but its not easy with the reputation that men have among women.

So my point effectively is just don't be creepy and pushy. Just be polite and reciprocate interest. Otherwise just treat them like your sister or guy friend.

Is this a verification can test?

Is this pointing out hypocrisy or calling out the futility of talking heads on tv?

The entire FOSS community works for very little compensation. You're not special. Read the fucking room. A lot of people spend their free time building cool shit to share with the community. You're a prick if you think that you're in the right calling people in the FOSS community entitled.

The history change was probably to avoid violating the LGPL. If any contributors don't agree with the change (or you don't want to do the onerous task of getting consensus as required) you should remove their contributions from the work you make closed source as the contributions still come under LGPL until the original author consents to the change.

Or at least that's what people said here.

Its not gatekeeping when if you don't use the underlying Arch system you're not getting the same experience as "using linux".

The fediverse already has a mechanism to guard against some corporation coming in and taking the code from a platform and building a commercial product on top of it - defederation. We don’t need GPL to “protect” us from anyone here

I disagree. The reason GPL works is that legal action (Such as from GNU foundation or EFF) deters bad actors.

The fediverse already has a mechanism to guard against some corporation coming in and taking the code from a platform and building a commercial product on top of it - defederation.

Defederation only helps the corporations: When the corporation comes in, overwhelms the fediverse with their huge network of active instances and then defederate, the only ones holding the bag are the open intances. . It's much easier for a private corporation to get numbers to defederate and come out on top than for open source enthusiasts.

However, there are also many that want to be recognized (financially) for their work. GPL ignores the latter.

If you want to be financially recognized for building on top of other people's open source projects then you should write proprietary code. You shouldn't be allowed to take open source works freely and call the entirety your own. MIT doesn't prevent that from happening. GPL prevents that from happening.

I don’t believe that is the case any more

It's actually really important in the long run. There can never be true open source without GPL or similar legal licenses.

That makes you even more wrong as 20k USD is quite expensive.

The caching is kind of mandatory as the sub-problems interact.
