the original poster is right.
I know about being pragmatic but if anyone think zohran is gonna be shockingly different, they are gonna be disappointed.

yea, a lot of open source projects are done by people that don’t see the point of copyleft software.
I think a lot of people just go with the 4 freedoms that RMS laid out. when I read devs’ reasons to use non-copyleft license, it boils down to “I don’t want to limit freedom of later devs even if those devs are gonna fork it and make it private”. even when they say “I don’t care” they mean the same.

and they have the right to see it that way. my thinking is that humanity used to not have copyright at all. and the reason we are not living in caves is that knowledge mostly was spread (even when going from father to son only).

so I think software needs to go that way as much as it can.
I understand that developing software needs money and I even understand patents to an extent. but shit gone mad and patents are gone crazy. android is THE shining prime example of what happens even with a company that at least pretended not to go this way (that was naive to think they wouldn’t)

that’s why I going to write any software I write (even though I am just starting programing) in the most copyleft license ever I find.
maybe even more stalman than gpl3.

btw is there any site that explains the practical diff between gpl2 and 3? not tldr but not in details either, just maybe explain case base what happens?

as I said in last post, I only see copyleft as a viable alternative. too many dev efforts forked and privatized. android should have been a warning. but many devs just think open source is enough. and they still think getting adapted by big corporation will not change the direction of projects.

I am personally going in the direction of testing and helping only copyleft projects. so I skipped RedoxOS. even-though I like rust and new microkernel OSes.

If I am going to give my time to a project (small as it is) I don’t want it to end up like android.

“Many Western nations have mirrored this in turn” sure… “china” started this and west “mirrored”

snitches get stitches.

my hot take: while this is good for users in short term, in long term it just prolongs non-copyleft android OS hold for google.

my only hope for grapheneos is that they pointed that they may move from android too.

There’s a difference between setting up a segregated shelter and raising the money for said shelter.

yes. I don’t think that charity said that they don’t accept women’s money.

If you want to set up a park run with a big sign saying no vaginas allowed them more power to you, just don’t be surprised when there’s backlash.

yes. I know. and they know.

as I get older I get more towards freedom of association vs forced inclusion. I am even somewhat (not completely) against forcing companies to hire people they dot want to hire. if that company want to lose money because they don’t hire men( or women or muslim or whatever), in my opinion that’s their right. and companies hire based on their need mostly.

two points against my own argument: 1- companies should hire based on what they want but should not be able to fire you willy nilly. even if you are a piece of shit that support retarded or racist ideology.

2-copanies being able to hire who they want (one legged female presenting dem-gus/god) is for a better society that people are not as poor as the current culture created by greed and power. so I don’t think it should be done now.

but charity or gyms or clubs and so on should be able to include or exclude who they want.

it may sound unfair to you but for me it goes with freedom of association which is way more important than freedom of speech.

charity is a personal private issue. like a lot of other issues. I can give money to poor. I can be stupid and give money to rich. I can create a shelter for women in abusing marriages and exclude men. I can do the same for men and exclude women.

I can create an event for women only. I should be able to create for men only.

if it is not obvious I am against laws that force you to associate with groups.

so I am for mixed gym and also women gyms and men only gyms.

the only thing I can think against this charity is that by being called (officially) “charity” they have to accept some laws, like no exclusion based on sex. I am against that law (it is an stupid law) but if you have a charity you have to be inside the law.

if you are gonna think that is not a stupid law to force you to associate with groups you don’t want, that is a point you can make (which I don’t accept) but if that law wasn’t there, then this charity would not have done anything wrong. another charity can do the same and exclude men ( or even muslims) and I think that is ok.

I see not problem with private charity including or excluding groups.

can’t compete, ha?

I am from Iran. the lady that got the noble prize is a complete joke. she said she was on hunger strike in prison but when pictures were shown of her before and after, she had gotten so fat that her own followers got angry at the lie.

if you want to see if the noble peace prize is awarded on any merit, search the twitter accout of them for gaza or غزه .

both Iranian one and the Venezuela one came up empty. the Venezuela one actually cheers on bibi as a “champion of freedom”.

west is going to dust bin of history. when powerful western countries that for almost a century told other countries to follow human rights behave like they did the last two years, they can no longer take the moral high ground.

for all his faults trump IS the west personified.

jokes on you. they just do what usa does. include the spying bill in their internet bill.

some router have some features that are not in openwrt. like (hard) speed limits per device and some other management apps. they are not magic apps married to hardware and if someone wanted he is free too create them in openwrt himself.

but if you don’t need any of those niche apps(features) then going to openwrt (if your device is officially supported) makes a lot of sense.

if you use premade images from openwrt (I make images with their image builder) there is not much of learning curse besides some jargon (sysupdate, binray, repo).

in last years I used openwrt and then added the apps that I usually install on it after an upgraede and just make an image and upload that to device. but that is in the future and is not noob way to do it (it is not hard but it is not just click-and-done)

one of the reason that I went that way was because the default image didn’t include webui (you heard that right) because of size constraints and wifi was disabled by default (for security so that user had to enable it and add custom password).

now those steps are included in official image.

generally yes. but we are talking about a public network facing device that is usually the first line of defense against wide Net.

that needs to be updated for new threats. those threats are not as extensive as 20 years ago (a lot of stuff are way better) but there are still bugs that appear in router as seen by news about routers hack that sometimes pop up.

openwrt uses linux kernel that is very near latest (LTS) release. they kinda have to do this for support added for new devices and new wifi standard and so on.

a company that supports its own limited product range doesn’t need newest kernel that much. because contrary to popular belief most kernel changes are not security related. and their devices don’t change hardware wise.

but having said all of that if I were you and my device was supported by openwrt, I would probably migrate to openwrt and be free of a small company limited support.

local currency in china is “china one”?

“Chinese” one. what is “china one”?

can someone tell me the is replaced with Þ ?

tt-rss and frehsrss are two different self-hosted apps. are you sure using that app doesnt mess with freshrss?
