@randstreifen Not *very* happy with #ProtonMail only because they do not have a #desktop app. I do not like #webmail too much.
They have, as part of the single "Unlimited" bundle ($10/month), a "Bridge" for IMAP/SMTP which would be nice, running as a local server decrypting and encrypting messages for Thunderbird or others. :ChicoRi: #GPLv3 (https://github.com/ProtonMail/proton-bridge).
We should be able to pay only for this. I don't need the whole tied package. :ChicoTristo:

@beforewisdom np.

Feel free to try out #fish and #zsh...

The latter one became #macOS's Standard after #bash went #GPLv3 and #Apple froze the Version of bash for half a decade.

And with suites like #OhMyZsh one can really rice that setup harder than #neovim + #nvChad...

AFAIK @fuchsiii is rocking that setup...

@Br3nda @aurynn Worth noting that Tusky has a significantly higher rating on the Google Play store. It's #FOSS - #GPLv3 so we're all good.

@natsume_shokogami @ian EXACTLY!

#GPLv3 for example is full of ideological bs that is neither enforceable nor legal (i.e. surrendering all patents and licensing then for free) when even it doesn't account for #paywalling of #SourceCode access or restricting it to (paying) customers.

@mjg59 @jenniferplusplus @blogdiva
Do not #Copyleft licences, like #GPLv3, work by ensuring that **any** software that includes the FOSS code be #FOSS also?

What the above describes is #softwareTheft, right?

For example #MastodonDevs by allowing #HellaDoge to not provide source code for years, with a notification of such by us, are allowing software #theft, right?

#AGPLv3Compliance

@geerlingguy *nodds in agreement*

Were the #GPLv3 not ideological garbage but actually comitted to #FLOSS remaining #public, it would've chosen #PublicAccessibilit to code as priority over illegally demanding surrender of all #Patents and #IP.

In fact, #grsecurity #paywalling the code was the first warning shot, and when that went through, others like #Elastic and #MongoDB and now #RedHat saw that they could get away with #paywalls on #FLOSS...

It's sickening.

I've made some improvements to Timeline.js, particularly in how entries are positioned automatically.

@noodles I like Vinyl Music Player. It has a nice design, efficient search on big collections, is available on #FDroid (#GPLv3) and otherwise just-works™.

After 11 years and 15 days from 2012-07-12, I am proud to present the first real release of MoeNavigator - a web browser written from scratch in C++. Its engine (called MoeNavigatorEngine) is also written from scratch:

@rahoulb I generally prefer the standard #GPLv3. What's the perceived benefit of releasing your gems under the Lesser GPL license?

@miklo @aral

Because it's not financially viable to #SelfHost it!

Also #GPLv3 is a sufficient deterrent...
https://github.com/KBtechnologies/nucbook/blob/master/LICENSE.md

#Stallmanism is the believe that the #GPLv3 is holy and that ony code licensed under it is good and that everything else is inherently bad.

It's like #Marxism: It outlived it's usefulness ages ago in the times of obsoloeteable human labour!

I notice that copyright holders, like Sarah Silverman, Christopher Golden, and Richard Kadrey are suing Meta and OpenAI for copyright infringement, so I hope that copyleft will have its legal battles in a similar vein.

Also, I'm betting that existing GPLv3 licenses don't mention being used as training data in other algorithms. I imagine there could be stronger legal wording in future licenses that specifies consequences for using copyleft software as training data for closed source algorithms.

Defending the copyright system seems at the heart and core of the copyleft free software agenda, and currently Sarah Silverman et al seems to be leading the charge.

@schenklklopfer weil die #bash - Version unter #macOS veraltet ist, weil #Apple zu #zsh migrierte wo bash auf #GPLv3 umstellte...

@mdhughes Yeah, #Apple did yeet #bash with it's change to #GPLv3 from #macOS...

@pixelcode

Section 5, "Conveying Modified Source Versions", of the Affero GPLv3 sounds very related to this protection.

It sounds to me that anyone is free to distribute modified versions of the software, but to do so, they must also release the source code for the modified version they release, also under the same license.

Are there software licenses out there that guarantee to the user the ability to receive updates and improvements to a piece of open source software?

I don't know of any license other than the GPL that provides this guarantee to the user.

I know that I'm more motivated to learn a new tool when it is protected by the GPL because of this guarantee that future versions will also be open source.

When I license my own software, I choose the Affero GPLv3 because it provides this extra guarantee to the users, even if the software serving the user is on a webserver.

@neil I remember when at #Wikimedia we were considering the newfangled software used for discussing the #GPLv3 text (with inline comments etc.) as a potential innovation for #MediaWiki...
