Hi, I use a permissive license for my stuff so that other open source devs can use it in their projects even if they disagree on the details of licensing opinions.
That doesn't make me some kind of liberal/centrist/"not a Real Free Software Person™".
Sure, that also gives companies the ability to use it in proprietary stuff, but they're not gonna be interested in it and there's a good chance they'd just blatantly ignore the license anyway (see: the "AI training" shit).
Anarchism vs. communism might be a better analogy.
Yeah, a lot of my stuff is public domain actually! (I like the Unlicense! it's public domain + a fallback "do anything, no conditions" license because some jurisdictions are weird about the whole concept of public domain stuff.)
The license is what makes it possible to legally distribute the source code, or use it in other stuff.
Without that, the source code is still legally considered proprietary and the author could sue you if you distribute it to other people, or modify it and distribute modified versions. Even if they made it publicly available!
Actually, without a license, they can't legally do that but nobody else can use your code either!
(Nothing's stopping them from doing it illegally, license or no. Which is why I personally tend to default to permissive licenses myself. I'm more concerned with open-source cross-license compatibility than about corporations stealing the code for our little projects.)
yeah, mixing stable and testing is something you've gotta be really careful with.
Now, running entirely testing, or well, more likely testing+unstable? Way less likely to break. So if you want the Rolling Debian Experience, just upgrade to testing. :3
Doesn't need to be into any form, just "into your true form (and possibly back)" would be enough. I'm a wolf, lemme be a wolf, dammit, universe!
Being able to shift back would be convenient for when human society inevitably demands you look like a human or be treated as an Unthinking Worthless Lesser Object. Until society figures out how awful that is and cuts it out.
If the updates are actually GOOD, we'll be happy installing them, personally. We do updates on our Linux box just fine.
Provided that said "security" updates aren't actually "security against you, the owner, from running your own software on the device" (see: game consoles).
Polytheistic religions that don't try to take over the world are nice enough. (I mean, monotheistic religions that don't try to take over the world are also fine, but I personally prefer "our gods are our gods. you have your own gods? cool!" to "there is ONLY our god. Your gods are FALSE.".)
To be fair, VMs chug no matter how much RAM you give them, because the GPU stuff almost always goes through software rendering instead of to an actual GPU. At least AFAWK.
You can get around that with passthrough but you'd need a dedicated GPU just for the VM.
Nah, not really.
