fuck this, man. i hope someone sues their ass and wins; though i’m not sure how or even if it’s possible. the GPL does have this:
You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted under this License.
but i don’t know if legally speaking, that really extends to them selectively choosing to terminate relationships with customers who exercise their GPL rights. what’s certain is that it’s an incredible asshole move and violates the spirit of the GPL and FOSS in general.
i have to admit i don’t always agree with the stallman position on things, but shit like this really makes me see the value of copyleft licenses and the arguments of the hardcore free software camp. software freedom is so easily lost :(
stallman was right.
while I didn’t mind having this show up in my feed, i’m glad that you kept in mind the cultural norms against self-promotion on reddit, which i think will (and definitely should!) carry over to lemmy/kbin. i think it’s important to be mindful of it especially when linking one’s own external site.
and since this is the fediverse, it could and should go further on the privacy front than reddit did. i’d really like if in the future we see lemmy/kbin develop etiquette around linking sites which load google analytics/other spyware and trackers.
p.s. i’m not on mastodon. how do you tag a lemmy community from it? using a tag in the body of the post, like you would for another mastodon user?
here’s some of those I found:
there are some general “tech” ones too
and finally, some (digital) privacy-focused ones. That doesn’t exactly fit the bill, but it’s a safe bet if you’re into linux and foss that you’re also into privacy :)
happy exploring!
i’ll look into it, thanks! btw do you know some good communities and instances for linux/foss/programming and that sort of thing? i’m subbed to a bunch but always good to know if there’s something i’m missing :)
damn, nice setup! mine isnt quite as impressive… i just run linux mint on my laptop (with the default proprietary bootloader :p) still so much better than windows though. i wonder if coreboot/libreboot supports my device…
agreed on fuck js. if only more sites looked like https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/
dark times for people who think software should (gasp!) actualy be efficient in its use of system resources and not require you to buy a new machine every 5 years. we’re heading the wrong way, and don’t remotely seem to be slowing down.
the worst example is web development; it’s gotten to the point that people are installing “desktop apps” that are in essence separate copies of chromium that only work on one website. when did software start going backwards, and how to stop it?
oh shoot, I’m not familiar with it at all myself and didn’t know it needed you to have decent specs.
out of curiosity, what sort of specs are required at bare minimum and why? I’m guessing maybe for the android emulator to work properly, though in this age of insane, bloated electron software, anything could be the culprit, even the IDE :')
completely unrelated to your comment but fez pfp! nice game
me too, but still helpful advice for web users
just remember that jerboa is very much in alpha and needs more developers to implement the finer stuff like this. the guy currently working on it is also a developer of lemmy itself, so he doesnt have much time for the app. if you happen to have some android dev knowledge, please see if you could contribute!
Another awesome extension from the people behind LibRedirect :D
(definitely check that one out, it redirects big corpo sites to privacy-friendly frontends, eg. twitter to nitter, reddit to libreddit, yt to invidious etc. can’t live without it)
