Software to create bootable usb drives. It’s handy, you just copy ISOs into the drive and pick which one to boot into instead of overwriting the drive with a single ISO.
It’s a different situation, as a dev I’d happily bet my life on this assumption.
Dropping support for that stuff means breaking 95% of the websites people currently use. It’s a non-starter, it cannot ever happen, even if you think it would be for the best.
I’m with you until the lockin. How does that happen?
Yeah, specifically for something like coreutils I can’t see the malicious endgame that is suggested by others here. Is the fear that a proprietary version of cat
or pwd
or printf
takes over the ecosystem and then traps users into a nonfree agreement? Or a proprietary coreutils superset that offers some new tool and does the same thing? Or a proprietary coreutils that generates profit for businesses without attribution to the developers? What would stop anyone from just writing their own proprietary set of tools to do the same thing now, even if uutils didn’t exist? Clearly not much, since uutils did exactly that (minus the proprietary bit).
I personally don’t see a compelling reason to change to MIT, but I also don’t see the problem.
It depends on if you use the “relay” feature. If your server is accessible from the outside it shouldn’t be using this though.
Code is easy in a vacuum. 50 moving parts all with their own quirks and insufficient testing is how you get stuff like this to happen.
No, they’re not sure. You’re correct.
Definitely not.
All people. 320kbps mp3 is completely audibly transparent under all normal listening conditions. It’s a low-tier audiophile meme to claim otherwise but they will never pass a double-blind test.
It means they admit they were wrong and you were correct. As in, “I have been corrected.”
I don’t think you need permission to send someone an email directly addressed to and written for them. I don’t have context for the claims about Kagi being disputed, but I’d be frustrated if someone posted a misinformed rant about my work and then refused to talk to me about it. I might even write an email. Doesn’t sound crazy. If there’s more to the “harassment” that I don’t know about, obviously I’m not in favor.
Your first sentence asserts the claim to be proved. Actually it asserts something much stronger which is also false, as e.g. 0.101001000100001… is a non-repeating decimal which doesn’t include “2”. While pi is known to be irrational and transcendental, there is no known proof that it is normal or even disjunctive, and generally such proofs are hard to come by except for pathological numbers constructed specifically to be normal/disjunctive or not.

Yeah. Normal whoppers are crunchy. 1 in 4 whoppers is soggy and chewy and hard to eat
Whoppers are good but the risk of getting a bad one is not worth it. Ech
I worked with Progress via an ERP that had been untouched and unsupported for almost 20 years. Damn easy to break stuff, more footguns than SQL somehow
I mean the specific issue about the binary blobs. Something that might set off alarm bells for you or a security-focused group may not do so for some dude working on a passion project in his free time.
