This is a a subscription though.

Giving up on either side is a losing position to have.

Though trying to make everything work 100% at the first go is also a problem. It is better ( and less cluttered ) to do one thing at the time. It makes it seem more manageable.

What you are describing is another type of defense mechanism. Which is in the core the same kind of issue. The corporations are still winning you. Just with some people, they stuck in the past because of this. You are stuck in proprietary software because of that. What needs to be done, is effort to make everything modern be free. Not disregard it and say that you “have to” use something proprietary.

it was me basically writing a few words about a film I just finished watching, pressured to go into bed. So I didn’t care much. The link should work.

Funny, I chose UPBGE for 4 reasons, non of which effect depsgraph much:

1. EEVEE
2. I know how to use Blender
3. The GPL License ( because I want my game to be GPL’d too )
4. I know how to use Python

So I never felt like I’m missing out on Geonodes or whatever. And depsgraph was only an interesting challenge to tackle.

Not all those who handle data obey laws. Data leaks happen.

but wait a second. Privacy is good because it is a Freedom. And because it make Freedom as a whole more possible. But using software with which you have no freedom, kind of defeats the purpose. Like you gain +1 freedom points and lose -1 freedom points. It’s net zero.

Transparency is good to see privacy, but if it is not Libre, you are not gaining any freedom.

I just woke up, I don’t know if I am making any sense

But GreyJay isn’t libre.

I use https://freetubeapp.io/

The servers are a bit unstable. Usually a few minutes of waiting revives it.

There isn’t anything particularly wrong with copying though. And copying isn’t stealing.

The idea here, is that it is not a huge inconvenience for them to push just a little bit to become Free Software.

I would agree that for a lot of people Denis Villeneuve’s direction is rather sleep-inducing. I remember going with friends to see Blade Runner 2049 and the friends went to sleep. It is usually the case with atmosphere-heavy and subtext heavy movies. Another example of a similar director would be Nicolas Winding Refn. Who deliberately sometimes refuses to engage the audience. Instead you are stuck with a few minutes long closeup of the character thinking about something.

I think those kinds of films are not for all people. But those that love this aesthetic love it a lot.

IDK sometime it feels not enough to just share a link to a story. It feels like I need to make sure people know exactly how I personally see the issue at hand. Hell I made 2 projects each of which took me more than 3 years. So it is 6 years only for 2 projects. Maybe I’m just exceptionally megalomanian…

I was trying to make a filler that is somewhat related to the story at hand and that points the reader at a direction of some kind of philosophical discussion here. Like I was comparing my work to the situation in Georgia. And my personal experience to that situation. As to show how insane the whole thing really is. Maybe I over-indulged myself with the filler. Now I look at it and it is kind of funny to me that I wrote so much of it.

You caught me. I was trying not to smile while recording the voice section, but you can hear me smile a bit, because of how utterly round about the article is. I wanted to stretch the reveal as long as possible, because just saying it plainly would have been a Mastodon post. But I wanted an article. So I filled it up with a bunch of bullshit.

Richard Stallman very likes recursions. This is why GNU ( something he named ) is a recursive acronym. And GPL ( something he came up with ) is a recursive license.

I think copyleft was just something too clever not to try for Richard Stallman. But yeah, corporation are doing anything they can to get around it.

If they don’t want to talk to me. Then it’s fine. I wont talk to them either. I would work in a supermarket. They don’t want me to sign nothing at all. And I can do my software on my own.

My view on this all is something like this:

• Users should have their freedoms to use, change, share the program. Even if they are doing it for profit. Even if those users are corporations.
• Copyleft is useful to make it so when those who share, share, their versions of the same program is also Libre. It is not about protecting the developer. It is to insure the user still has the freedom.
• One is not required to share. So if I make a version of the program that works for me, I am under no obligation to give anyone a copy of it. ( But under copyleft, if I do, I need this copy to be libre )

So I can withhold giving away my copy until I get paid. Basically I don’t even release anything until I get what I want from the deal. And I can do that for every change I make. But as soon as I make what I wan and release it, everything is libre from the beginning.

I can use screenshots or videos to prove that I have a working piece of software. And tease what are the changes I made.

The question now is, can there be a platform to streamline this process?
