lemmy.ml has non-unicode emojis?

The f in foss is for free as in libre, not price. And I imagine it is used to avoid touching the topic of open source software vs libre software. So saying you can make money from one and not the other doesn’t make sense.

Besides maybe the second world war.

With the assumption that we now measure inclines of course

I interpreted your reply to njm1314 as meaning “we don’t need to measure inclination to cheat, we can do that by simply increasing our precision”

That would work for the perimeter, but not for the area.

Hover-over text of ExistentialComics’ comic:

Some people have called Plato the first totalitarian thinker, but if you look at what Democracy is producing these days it’s hard to not think he had a bit of a point…

And text beneath comic:

Also, my Dad is trying to raise some money for a surgery, I already posted this before and we met the goal, but then he contracted dengue fever so the surgury had to get delayed, so we are trying to raise a little more money to cover those expenses. If you could spare a few dollars it would really help.

As for Plato, he criticized democracy heavily, claiming that it gave people too much freedom, and if anyone could be elected by the ignorant masses, it would be too possible for selfish people who only wanted power and wealth to get into power. Democracy, ironically, would inevitably lead to tyranny and demagogues. He thought a better system would be for the wisest, most virtuous, and most selfless people to govern society, which of course would be philosophers like himself. How this system was immune to corruption is a little unclear to me, but given what’s going on with democracies lately you can probably at least say he has some good points.

I’m just picking on a point that’s not relevant to your comment’s core idea, I’m not saying we shouldn’t share software or other goods and services with worker coops:

worker coops, which don’t violate workers’ rights.

Under capitalism worker cooperatives will also violate the rights of its workers even if less than traditional companies, because that’s what capitalism demands for their survival on the market.

I think it’s kind of challenging to legally define what makes a party “worthy” of making use of the software or digital work. I think you would need to go on a case-by-case basis, but at that point it probably makes more sense to just make software source-available and actively encourage people to reach out to you to get permission to use the software and to modify and redistribute it.

a degree in game programming

That’s a thing?

that considers the rights of both software users and developers unlike copyleft

Kind of in the vein of what Redis attempted to with its relicense to SSPL

When people say perl, they normally mean Perl 5. Perl 6 is now called Raku and is considered a different language.

You are only censored on lemmy.ml, not on the rest of the network. You can write whatever you want, but lemmy.ml has no duty to tolerate racists in their house.

If it’s like Lisp, then ? is just part of the symbol and doesn’t have any special syntatic meaning. In different Lisps it’s also convention to end predicate names with a ? or with P (p for predicate)

I think this is a sort of anti-license, so I think the sort of people who use it reject copyright law.

I don’t have a driver’s license, so I’m not knowledgeable in the topic, but aren’t there situations where the decision is deferred to the drivers? For example when 4 drivers of the same class arrive at an intersection without signage at the same time, with each having one of the other drivers to their right, with all of them wanting to go straight ahead, with none of them being a tiebreaker.

I’m not a Nix user, but doesn’t Nix make both pip and venv obsolete in a way? Nix is a package manager (which could be used to package anything including Python packages/modules) and also allows you to create environments that include only certain packages of certain versions.

The vending machines that I use return your money if the product doesn’t fall down. This also allows you to get 2 for 1 by just pressing the same option again which likely will now drop the one that got stuck and the new one.

Anti Commercial AI thingy

I don’t think a license will prevent language models from using your post. If anything, you are allowing people to use your post for more stuff it couldn’t otherwise be used, since a license is you giving someone permission to use your work in a certain way, but if you don’t give a license, copyright law assumes that you haven’t given permission.
