Can I ask why you think that’s too short? It seems like a long time for no activity on an account. And they are fairly generous about defining activity.

This seems reasonable to me.

In that sense, isn’t Redhat pushing to CentOS Stream?

Firefly definitely counts as lesser known. Op is on drugs.

I would pick Firefly, the Expanse, and Orville (for an unexpected great show.)

This is a fantastic response.

I play this game where I try to understand the ich_iel memes. I usually get close. Some of them are hilarious.

Part of my rexxit so far has included me dusting off newsreaders and rss feeds again.

Im trying to find a good set up. Newsblur seems to be a front runner. I have nextcloud selfhosted, so I could use that with the $2.99 android app or I could pay for newsblur or feedly a few bucks each month.

Either way, having a self-curated feed of news these last few days has been pretty amazing. There is no algorithm tuned for engagement pumping news in my face. It’s just stories, articles, YouTube videos, and podcasts that I want to see (on my terms).

I think you meant vim or neovim–the one true vim.

As a millennial who just had a baby girl, I can’t imagine being so disconnected that I hadn’t changed a diaper.

I think parenting in general for both sexes is more involved and the expectations are much higher that it was for our parents. Making sure you get x tummy time or do y development activity or z social development classes with other babies etc.

I also think parents today are having kids more by personal choice than societal pressure. So they are more engaged and less “just going through the motions of what society expects”.

Holy shit that’s rich.

You , as a mod, are in a position of trust! You have an obligation to your community.

We would be opening the door to allow a large corporation to do what they’ve done with open source for a while. They’ll privatize the public commons.

But all this work [GPL licensing] was ridiculed. Microsoft, through Github, Google and Apple pushed for MIT/BSD licensed software as the open source standard. This allowed them to use open source components within their proprietary closed products. They managed to make thousands of free software developers work freely for them. And they even received praise because, sometimes, they would hire one of those developers (like it was a “favour” to the community while it is simply business-wise to hire smart people working on critical components of your infrastructure instead of letting them work for free). The whole Google Summer of Code, for which I was a mentor multiple years, is just a cheap way to get unpaid volunteers mentor their future free or cheap workforce.

Our freedoms were taken away by proprietary software which is mostly coded by ourselves. For free. We spent our free time developing, debugging, testing software before handing them to corporations that we rever, hoping to maybe get a job offer or a small sponsorship from them. Without Non-copyleft Open Source, there would be no proprietary MacOS, OSX nor Android. There would be no Facebook, no Amazon. We created all the components of Frankenstein’s creature and handed them to the evil professor.

This article is actually pretty great.

And for emphasis:

Its been going on for a while.

Barry Goldwater has a few good quotes about it.
