  • I like this license. I think some people in this comment section do not understand the purpose. An (open source) license is a tool that is used most effectively in determining what kind of entity uses your software. Use an mit or bsd license and everyone will use your software. Use a gpl license and large corporations might use it sometimes, but wont if there are alternatives and most likely wont incorporate it into any of their products.

    This license might not be fully enforcable, but it is 100% poison to companies. Using this license(especially with the copyleft module) will almost certainly guarantee that only small projects will ever use it. Sure, it will kneecap your growth and your code will never see any real usage, but for some projects that might just be the best option.


  • Hey, I have a book written by the guy of the bottom paper. It’s called “de eendenman(the duck man)” and although he derails really quickly it’s a pretty fun and interesting read. I think he starts talking about penis shorteners halfway through and a guy who is legally dead at some point?











  • … so what doesn’t? Just saying <thing> sucks without saying why or providing a valid alternative is not helping anyone. Rather say something like

    “Brave has done some shady things in the past and is based on chromium which is currently doing its best to kneecap adblockers and other privacy tools. If you want a good private browser, you might want to use librewolf instead”.



  • I could ask the same. Why would anyone want windows? I haven’t needed windows for anything in years. I run wine for windows stuff(mostly for fun) and it works if you’re competent.

    Seriously tho, I care about my privacy somewhat, and a lot of my hardware just doesn’t run windows because it’s too heavy. I also dislike the lack of control I have over windows and can’t work with the windows DE in general.
