  • There’s nothing stopping you from using GPL.

    But there is a culture - I think even explicit - of using MIT or APACHE licensing. In some sense is okay, because it simplifies crate compatibility. But it comes at the cost of feeding the usual suspects who now obviously turn against humanity.

    My unconfirmed suspicion is that there are forces behind (Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta) who like permissive licenses because this makes it easier for them to exploit the work of the public.







  • I bet that what we see here is partly the work of the worlds largest propaganda machine. I’d like to believe that misinformation was the reason for them supporting Trump. So yes, properly informing people could help. But I’m worried that the Trumpian shit-show clogged some brains. What to believe in a world made of “fake news”?


  • I simply wonder what’s happening and expressing my frustration.

    No question - it’s good he is mobilizing people. Organization is key, and to me it looks like it’s currently lacking. I really hope Sanders can change this.

    It has been damn obvious and yet way too many people voted Trump. And, come on, it was clear Elon would be there as well. From outside the US it’s hard to understand why. It leaves me with two explanations, both of which I don’t like: either people were misinformed and/or did not understand what is going on, or they did really want it.

    Maybe you can help me understand.
