Think about written English: it’s phonetic.

How do you learn to RECOGNIZE A WRITTEN WORD when you don’t know what it sounds like, let alone what the letters mean. Or becomes a matter of a hundred thousand different symbols, recognized as a unit, removed from the auditory context.

I can’t imagine how any deaf person learns to read, to be honest . It’s an astounding feat.

I saw your previous post but didn’t comment.

IMO KDE neon is just phenomenal. Try the live CD before you make a choice.

Especially in a competitive market where compelling alternatives exist.

Especially in tech.

And especially in software.

The VLC team are heroes. Three cheers.

And equally importantly: not run the software you don’t want

Totally agree

Your contributors must attribute copyright or agree to any reason license if you choose this. (This seems so obvious to me that I didn’t mention it)

But it’s still strictly superior to MIT licensing, which has the same requirement (since that’s part of copyright law, not party is the license itself), while still preventing commercial adoption under a different license.

This is simply wrong.

Is you release software that YOU OWN as AGPL, there is nothing stopping you from also licensing it as non AGPL, for a fee, in the future. I’m fact this is more possible with AGPL, since it disallows Tivoization.

If there’s a chance you want to make money off of it, AGPL is 1000x better than MIT. Once you release under MIT, a corporation can take it and do anything. If it’s AGPL a company can take it and do anything once they negotiate a license for it, and pay you for the privilege.

Bitcoin has outperformed stocks by about 100,000-fold. All you need is a fiver to invest at the beginning.

Not if the authors don’t offer it.

Which might mean there won’t be a purchase, but the copyright holders (authors) can make any terms they want, and offer those terms right along with the GPL license option.

It’s baffling why so many choose MIT instead of going this route.

X2go is a great option.

In my opinion you’re overthinking it.

Just get a live distro, put it on a USB, and boot into it. If it meets your needs, then install it.

GPL with a paid commercial option for companies that need closed source derivatives.

Google can accommodate billions of searches globally on pages it doesn’t control

Microsoft can’t index a tiny fraction of that number, even for it’s own users.

What a black eye for Microsoft engineering.

Cool fact! Thanks!

Italic?

Woah.I had never heard of this.

Yes! Thank you!

There is a book my friend swore by. I think it’s called “how to quit smoking”. By the time he finished it he said he had lost all interest.

It’s kind of well known, and I’m sure you can find it if you Google.

I think the lemmy community is great as it is!
