Am I the only one who refers to mangosteen as "jewish Mango"?

@josemanuel

Never understood this meme, it isnt a UBI. It is based on amount of work done (distance traveled) and not given regardless of progress. So its a salary not a UBI. The board game even specifically says on the board it is a salary.

Call me simple, but to me a “gaffe” is really nothing more than what Merriam-Webster says it is – i.e., a social or diplomatic blunder or noticeable mistake. Biden’s flub in that video certainly falls into that category. I just choose not to take it farther than that.

Fair, it is a gaffe caused by his senility and due to it being a repeated pattern makes his senility hard to deny. But sure, its a gaffe in that sense.

As for alt left, I understand that it’s aimed generically at the far (or extremist) left. I simply wondered if you had something more meaningful in mind. I personally don’t find it helpful because it can be slapped on any leftist who happens to rub someone the wrong way.

Agreed, just like the term alt-left.

@garyackerman I love sagan but he had a tendency of letting his brain fallout from time to time :)

@khm Then maybe you shouldnt do it on my thread where I get notified if you dont want me pointing out youre a moron.

@ppseafield

Because that term violated the GPL which could not be changed because the license was viral.

The text from Wikipedia was clear on that I think.

@khm @drewdevault

@khm

Here is a quote from wikipedia basically agreeing with what I said word for word.

The newer terms are referred to as the XFree86 License 1.1. Many projects relying on XFree86 found the new license unacceptable, and the Free Software Foundation considers it incompatible with the version 2 of the GNU General Public License, though compatible with version 3.

@drewdevault

You do you.. most developers prefer apache license these days, im one.. you dont, and are in a minority, thats your right.

Linux, usually ArchLinux or NixOS, lately NixOS has become my main choice.

@icedquinn

The vasy majority of my contributions are in no way proprietary and have no real use for me in a proprietary setting. Some other stuff does.

And yea, it is doing its job by cutting off developers from wanting to contribute to it, which is why copyleft has been dying out significantly in recent years and largely replaced with MIT and apache licenses.

The trend of GPL to isolate itself and push developers away by punishing the very people who release under it is exactly why its dying.

@djsumdog

@djsumdog

I have no real issue with anyone using GPL.. you are giving your time for free, put whatever rules on your contribution you want, im just happy your contributing.

But **I** will never contribute to a copyleft project, and I certainly never want to be limited with how I can use my own projects either. So I will certainly never support anything copyleft if ic an help it.

@Suiseiseki

@drewdevault I cant tell you how many times people released their innovated idea under a copy-left license only to be angered when they realized the consequences, the vital nature, and the lock-in that resulted. Many abandoned the project and had to start over...

To each their own, but I will never use a copyleft license again.

@garyackerman Gaps in what sense. If you are a good leader there should be no gaps to bridge. If there are gaps are you even leading?

@black6

Whatever you enjoy of course... I actually use phillips Hue so i can change the warmth of my lighting on a whim and produce any color i want... I usually go very cool and even add in some added blue.

@mia

@mia I hate warm light, oddly i find it ruins the atmosphere, it is depressing and dingy, makes me feel like im in a house that hasnt been updated since the 70s with shag carpet. I prefer all my lights as cool as they can go with a distinct blue tint representing noon daytime, more energizing.
