Michael Scott once quoted some guy that said “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”

You shot your shot. That’s the important thing.

Good for you!

I don’t think we need more licenses. OSS license proliferation is bad as it is. IMO, people should do their best to stick with the major licenses: GPL, AGPL, MIT, or Creative Commons if it doesn’t fit the above.

The problem with a tax that you’ve proposed is that it would be nearly impossible to enforce. How would you know which companies are pulling your library?

What I’ve been doing is adding the Commons Clause to my license and that I think helps. I don’t write wildly popular software so I don’t really see people donating or asking to purchase a license.

I personally like the Mozilla model where they donate to various open source projects from a common fund. I’d like to see more stuff like that.

It sort of is by license. Not directly but if you’re using one of the more restrictive licenses like GPL 3, it often doesn’t pass legal review due to many of the copy left provisions.

Most companies simply find a similar library that has a more permissive license. A handful will contact the dev and buy a license.

As much as the MIT license has made code more accessible, its permissiveness is the main reason I don’t use it for my own software, unless I really don’t care for it.

I always liked Barney Stimson’s advice on running a marathon.

Step 1: start running

Step 2: there is no step two

This! Some discomfort is to be expected but it shouldn’t hurt. It should be a good “pain” like it feels good afterwards not a “I really regret all the things” pain.

Hot damn good for you!

Keep us updated! I don’t think lemmy has a remindme bot but I’m saving this comment.

As much as I’d like to believe that SCOTUS will honor separation between state and federal, I simply do not trust our current justices. I fully expect them to say, “Nah…it’s totes cool for Trump, and only Trump, to commit crimes.”

Yeah…if only his teachings would have survived…

Tell me more…

Mr. Robot for its hacking scenes. A bit dramatized but much better than the infamous CSI hacking screen.

Sounds like you need to get the latest patch for your wife. While you’re doing that, you can add the password manager extension which should fix the issue.

NSFW thots that post in multiple communities is actually worse on lemmy. Maybe because it’s a smaller audience and there are less communities or less posters.

I’ve blocked several users because I just kept getting the same posts. It doesn’t seem to be helping.

You’re not being an ass. But I think it also depends on the book and the person.

For example: cookbooks I prefer a physical book. IT books I prefer in digital format so I can use the find function.

Fiction books I go either way. I prefer digital because they are easier to get but will browse them at the book store.

Either way having an open hardware solution is very welcome so you aren’t trapped behind Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

I remember reports of Amazon deleting books off of people’s devices.

I just checked them out and it seems to be focused on amateur film production and not necessarily on TV shows.

Various TV Show subreddits…they just haven’t made it over here yet. Personally, I’d love to see a dedicated instance for TV and movies.

The government “not touching the internet” is how we got here when NN rules were rolled back by that shit eating, giant Reese’s cup drinking, FCC chairman that we had under Trump.

Not sure if we can do anything about enshittification though. That is shareholders demanding the line go up and I don’t think we can change people’s desire for greed.

Literally, and I mean literally, just downloaded this yesterday because I was tired of using Syncthing to pass media files back and forth between my phone and my NAS.

Plex is a shit show, charging you to view remote files.

Got any recommendations on where to put together a decent setup? The documentation seems a bit sparse.

Biden is the President, head of the executive branch and does not have the power to introduce bills or vote on them.

He can only sign the bill into law or veto the bill.
