If you want to enforce that, you need to fork it and put a copyleft license on it. This is very rarely done because it’s more work to maintain software than to write it…

They can change future versions to that, not already released ones.

A gnome obviously

Do we have “circlejerk” or “shitposting” communities here on Lemmy already?

These settings don’t do what you want?

Scribus, ideally.

One piece of non-free software gone, many more to go.

Why would one even get the idea to use AI for something like this?

“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the universe.”

Precisely the opposite of what the world needs.

Copyleft licenses are harder to comply with, they usually come with clauses that can be interpreted in different ways, termination clauses, etc.

Yeah I know, I sort Lemmy by “new comments” and Mastodon obviously only chronologically.

It’s just that the first type of “social media” I ever used (in my childhood) was the web forum and I kinda miss that. :D

in my mind it’s kinda the point of Ladybird to have a permissively licensed implementation of web standards, I like permissive licenses if only because they reduce legal risks

It was definitely a good development to let social media operators make automated “recommendations based on what you seem to like” instead of, you know, letting users decide manually what they want to see, amirite… /s

TIL that you can declare return types this way in C++.

auto main() -> int

What programming language is this even?!

maybe, but there are also things it arguably does better than Linux, e.g. user access control

(If you can still find this story, I’d be very interested in it, please do link to it here.)

yeah I know, far from production-ready though

That is the literal opposite of what the world needs.

Windows isn’t a bad OS from a purely technical perspective. If Windows were released as FOSS, I would switch to Windows without hesitation.

KDE Plasma and it’s configured to have everything in the same places as Windows as much as possible. I have to use Windows for work and gaming and like it when I don’t have to think much about which computer I’m using right now.

This has also been the narrative on recent techdirt.com posts, e.g. https://www.techdirt.com/2025/02/13/at-last-doge-and-musk-are-finally-named-in-a-lawsuit-albeit-officially/ - I (not being American) do not know or care enough about the topic to have an opinion about it.
