These are good points. I was in a shitty mood when I made my comment and upon reflection, it’s an overstatement and not a very good take. I do still strongly support copyleft licenses and DCOs over CLAs, but I shouldn’t turn my nose up when something is released without those.

I used to be excited when companies open-sourced stuff, and that is no longer the case. I suppose I’m just frustrated and bitter and cynical when it comes to large companies doing good things.

Hence my initial whinging about how this was released with a permissive license and a copyright transfer. The longer I’m involved in this industry, the less I like permissive software licensing. There’s obviously a place for it, but my tolerance for permissive licensing is directly tied to my trust for the person or organization backing the software. I don’t trust Microsoft, and I don’t think I will ever personally contribute to their software unless my contribution is made under a copyleft license and with a DCO, not a copyright-transferring CLA.

You’re correct, but I don’t believe that a company shouldn’t be allowed to take my code and change its license in the future. If they want to take something proprietary, they can go ahead and remove my contribution from it first.

You absolutely do not need a CLA with a copyright transfer. There are plenty of large projects that use a Developer Certificate of Origin that protects the company while not allowing them to change the license of your contribution.

I’ll grant that my original post was pissy and angry and not a great take, however. You make good points here.

From the repo’s CONTRIBUTING.md:

Most contributions require you to agree to a Contributor License Agreement (CLA)

Meh, a permissive license + a copyright transfer means this shit is just a potential rugpull. MSFT can change the license of the project to source-available or even proprietary at any time and you’ll be powerless to stop it.

For anyone else who doesn’t know what this is:

This is my build of Proton with the most recent bleeding-edge Proton Experimental WINE.

Things it contains that Valve’s Proton does not:

• Additional media foundation patches for better video playback support
• AMD FSR patches added directly to fullscreen hack that can be toggled with WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1
• FSR Fake resolution patch details here
• Nvidia CUDA support for PhysX and NVAPI
• Raw input mouse support
• ‘protonfixes’ system – this is an automated system that applies per-game fixes (such as winetricks, envvars, EAC workarounds, overrides, etc).
• Various upstream WINE patches backported
• Various wine-staging patches applied as they become needed

But k3s so niiiice.

This beautiful series of images and the corresponding text from old reddit. Folks, I present kinder surprise sorry. Old reddit was a fun place sometimes.

I’ve yet to find anything more efficient than opening my shell and typing ssh or scp. Remote desktop is irrelevant to me because none of the systems I administrate will ever have a GUI.

EDIT: tab auto completion also makes things far, far smoother.

Arch Linux, on an old Compaq pizza box server when I was 16. It took me 3 months to install Arch because there was a DIP switch on the motherboard that somehow prevented you from updating the MBR or some shit.

I basically never used it and didn’t touch Linux again until 7 years later, when I used SLES 11 SP2 at a job.

I’m the opposite. I find LC much more interesting, plus REPO’s camera inertia gives me terrible motion sickness, even when the animation speed is reduced and all the other settings are changed. I can’t even watch someone stream it, the inertia is so extreme.

I think they’re fundamentally different games. The limited day length in LC gives a much more tense vibe, where repo is a bit more laid back and lets you really scour every level. LC also doesn’t have the upgrade system present in REPO, meaning doing well on the harder moons is entirely skill based. I prefer skill over upgrades, but I know others don’t. I’ve heard from people who are really into REPO that past level 6 or 8, the difficulty doesn’t really increase, and getting too many strength upgrades can trivialize the game.

They both have their merits. You find REPO to be more enjoyable which is totally fair and valid.

“Get off vent, or I’ll have you bent.”

I wish those stupid videos weren’t the first thing my brain goes for when I see the word “Ventrilo.”

God, can we not though? Haha funni meme and all, but like, I’m so tired of seeing this shit. It sucks for the women in the community, and honestly it sucks for the men too. It’s just such boomer humor.

In the short term? Grey rock your “friend.” This person is an enabling shit who does not have your best interests at heart. You are being physically abused. What you describe isn’t corporal punishment (which I personally consider to still be physical abuse), it is abuse. Starving someone to punish them is abuse. Anyone who takes part in, or enables said abuse is not someone you want in your life.

Do you have anyone safe in your life that you could go to? Other friends that would not condone what you are experiencing? An estranged parent? Even a trustworthy teacher? I’d recommend trying to build up a support network of people who actually care for your well being before pushing this enabling piece of trash out of your life.

As someone who somewhat recently wasted 5 hours debugging a “simple” bash script that Cursor shit out which was exploding k8s nodes—nah, I’ll pass. I rewrote the script from scratch in 45 minutes after I figured out what was wrong. You do you, but I don’t let LLMs near my software.

If you want to make things even more spicy, try doing in pure bash with no external process calls. Things like cat are trivial to replace. I saw some uses of sort that might be more difficult, but it wouldn’t surprise me if newer Bash versions had a way to sort arrays nicely.

Nah, I love cursing. I love a good, rancid obscenity. I’m perfectly capable of expressing myself without swearing, but I think it makes life so much more fun.

I do try to be aware of my audience. I live in Utah where the Mormons continuously find new and exciting ways to swear without angering sky-daddy. “Oh my heck” is a great example, because “gosh” is potentially a nono outer-darkness word.

I don’t live to offend—I’m not an edge lord. I want to be inclusive of the people around me, so if I know that the person I’m speaking to doesn’t appreciate swearing then I’ll avoid it. Swears may slip out if the conversation is sufficiently casual, but I’ll just apologize and we’ll move on like adults.

It’s not a binary. You can swear in some contexts and not in others, provided you’re able to maintain some degree of mindfulness. That may not be possible if being around your family is like being captured in the Trauma Nexus.

Now that I’ve gone all this time without swearing, let me share my favorite obscenity. My partner once described a really horrible person (someone who committed physical and sexual abuse) as a shit-filled cunt, and god damn if that isn’t just breathtaking. Truly a beauty to behold, she’s such an artist with words.

I had no idea what this game was, so here’s the blurb off of Steam.

My dryer broke like 6 years ago, and I just never cared enough to fix it. You can definitely still get permanent stains on line-dried clothes, but I’ll grant that it’s much harder without all the heat. I have one white cotton T-shirt that I’ve been going Ahab on for fucking months. It wasn’t even expensive, I just want to see if I can get the trifecta of mustard/ketchup/fucked up molybdenum disulfide grease stains out.
