ICC prosecutor says world leaders 'threatened' him over Israel arrest warrants
  • Putin should take a tour of adjacent countries. Dare them to blind.

    No adjacent country would declare war by arresting a visiting head of state.

    No country became a country by having that level of lack of strategy. Simply does not exist.

    ICC prosecutor says world leaders 'threatened' him over Israel arrest warrants
  • These judges also don't live or conduct trade, especially with their neighbors being a global military power.

    So these judges lack skin in the game. Asking Mongolia to arrest the leader of a neighboring country is the same as declaring war.

    The media screaming they must do it, speaks volumes about their lack of IQ.

    Is there any proprietary Android app for which you wish there would be an open-source alternative?
  • A FOSS app for digital payments, must have a company front to sign deals with country retail store chains. Although customer kyc can be avoided, the payments from the front company to retail chains would be thru a corporate structure.

    ... maybe convenience is the wrong path

    The advantages of PoW crypto, over digital (and PoS), it's possible to force between seller and buyer:

    • communication with end-to-end encryption
    • privacy oriented marketplaces

    With the goal of fostering our own private communities. Over time, might spawn a sub-culture, identity, and ultimately people hood.

  • aGPLv3 is a good business model. If companies are using your kit in their closed source projects, they need to pay you

    donationware is abandonware. We brand it Apache2.0 or MIT

    Paying for software is stupid… 10 free and open-source SaaS replacements
  • Not triggered by this emotional outrage bait

    it either costs your time or money or both. There is no situation where anything is free.

    I'm currently fixing, not mine, repos. I have the skill level to fix other coders design issues. One at a time.

    This is costing me time. Not just in doing the work, but all the time leading up to gaining the skillset to be at this level.

    Put a price tag on that. (i'm not boasting; actually having to do this grind)

    Companies that use desktop Linux
  • So they are gaslighting to cause you to have doubts. So they are using a psyche which is a symptom of them having unrestricted access to your time and ears

    Forgejo is now copyleft, just like Git
  • AGPLv3 is not anti-business or anti-money. It's saying if you want to use the code in a closed source project you need to pay the copyright holder

    The copyright holder is the original author, not a maintainer or someone who forked a project and renamed it.

    That's why the #1 thing mentioned in copyleft licenses is you can't alter the copyright notice and declare yourself the original author

    AGPLv3 is a good license to choose. All the other licenses are naive and do not combat closed source projects and the slave worker that keeps our projects unfunded

  • Exactly. They obviously didn't research licensing enough.

    Closed source projects need to pay for licensing. Or they will force you to work for them designing web forms and smartphone apps

    Am i wrong?

    Microsoft outage leaves China largely untouched as tech self-sufficiency campaign pays off
  • When is collaboration irrelevant within a large organization? Your company uses Linux which is commendable.

    Taking it one step further

    Multiple team members being able to work on the same project at the same time

  • China takes alot of crap from Western MSM. But the accusation that it suacks at IT, so much, would consider using WindowsOS is a low blow

    Whenever see a Windows box i say, grandma gets a smartphone. Regardless who i'm talking to. Believe it!

    Switzerland mandates all software developed for the government be open sourced
  • govts print infinite money. All of us are working for free. Their fiat is credits for the company store.

    If you think funding projects is bad then the response is to support lobbying project owners to put in malware until FOSS is publically funded.

    All we have to do is verbally support it. And cheerlead when it occurs. We don't actually have to actively do it. It's a threat which is done in politics all the time.

    Switzerland mandates all software developed for the government be open sourced
  • Step 1: all software has to be open source

    Step 2: governments, required by law, to fund FOSS projects in their tech stacks. Helped by organizations which trace project funding and lobbying to promote FOSS security by providing funding; a huge incentive to not insert malware

    Step 3: coders are afforded dignity (UBI); given funds geared towards affording a maintenance team. Regardless of country of origin. Vital infrastructure is vital infrastructure. Talent is talent.

    I support this move to Step 1

    Where is the list of pauper gov'ts which force talent to get a job rather than be a talent and then maintain their projects with dignity!

    Those jobs are mostly nonsense. Geared towards wasting our time building:

    • yet another stupid web site

    • yet another stupid smartphone app

    • yet another stupid cloud base server instance

    I refuse to believe that they made that abomination of a sequel
  • I live for cringe!

    Dead Snow I was sad.

    Dead Snow II i'm still besides myself. They hit the ball out of the genre!

    But if you can't appreciate (good) cringe then the point would be missed
