There are several ways to; afaik waypipe is the best one.

you can still use OpenRC instead if you want, and sxmo will continue to do so by default.

you can read here about why they added systemd.

I’m planning on revitalizing and bringing this old Itautec to the 21st century

I think it was born in the 21st century? From this it looks like the first Celeron M was in 2004, and the first at that clockspeed was 2005.

Also, 2GB of RAM is plenty for many purposes - that’s more than any Raspberry Pi before the Pi 4 had!

incredible self-own from ArduPilot co-creator Jason Short:

Not in a million years would I have predicted this outcome. I just wanted to make flying robots.

(of course, in reality, many people were discussing weaponization even on the day diydrones was announced…)

also “you may not remove or obscure any functionality in the software related to payment to the Licensor in any copy you distribute to others.” 🤡

FUTO’s license meets neither the free software definition nor the open source definition.

this is a good meme

Lmao that my pedanticism could be perceived as BSD advocacy - fwiw, I primarily use GNU/Linux, I develop GPL-licensed software, and I think GPLv3 or AGPLv3 are good choices for many new projects starting today.

My opinions about the history and future of copyleft are somewhat complicated but I didn’t mention any opinions in the comment you’re replying to - I was just correcting your factual misunderstandings about the accepted definitions of these terms.

I started to python one and half week ago. So I’m still beginner.

Nice work! Here are a few notes:

The WeatherApp object has a mix of attributes with long-term (eg self.LOCATIONS) and short-term (eg self.city) relevance. Instance attributes introduced in places other than __init__, which makes it non-trivial for a reader to quickly understand what the object contains. And, actually, self.{city,lat,lon} are all only used from the add_city method so they could/should be local variables instead of instance attributes (just remove the self. from them).

There seem to maybe be some bugs around when things are lowercase and when not; for example checking if self.city.lower() in self.LOCATIONS but then when writing there the non-lower self.ctiy is used as the key to self.LOCATIONS.

The code under if rep == "1" and elif rep == "2" is mostly duplicated, and there is no else branch to cover if rep is something other than 1 or 2.

It looks like the config only persists favorites so far (and not non-favorite cities which the user can add) which isn’t obvious from the user interface.

Passing both location and locations into WeatherAPI so that it can look up locations[location] is unnecessary; it would be clearer to pass in the dict for the specific location. It would also be possible to avoid the need for LOWLOCATIONS by adding a non-lowercase name key to the per-location dictionaries that just have lat and lon right now, and then keeping LOCATIONS keyed by the lowercase names.

HTH! happy hacking :)

encryption would prevent the modem from seeing it when someone sends it, but such a short string will inevitably appear once in a while in ciphertext too. so, it would actually make it disconnect at random times instead :)

(edit: actually at seven bytes i guess it would only occur once in every 72PB on average…)

As I wrote in the thread about this last month on !linux@lemmy.ml:

I wonder how much work is entailed in transforming Fedora in to a distro that meets some definition of the word “Sovereign” 🤔

Personally I wouldn’t want to make a project like this be dependent on the whims of a US defense contractor like RedHat/IBM, especially after what happened with CentOS.

and, re: “what do you mean ‘redhat is a defense contractor’?!”: here are some links.

the non-recursive part of this image is mildlyinfuriating

you could edit your post title

Have you tried https://mike-fabian.github.io/ibus-typing-booster/ ?

I have not, but I think it does what you’re looking for.

The demo video emphasizes its use as an emoji picker but it was originally created for typing Indic languages.

i figured this was likely astroturfing by one of the many shitty companies it is advertising, so i went looking for the source. somewhat to my surprise this image was apparently created by reddit user u/theFallenWalnut who’s actually been posting there for over 10 years 🤔

if you check their account you’ll see they’ve actually updated their recommendations to remove several companies (including proton and spotify) which are included in the older version of it posted here.

but, they’re still suggesting lots of garbage.

as a mod/admin, i would appreciate being able to edit post titles. there have been a fair number of times where i asked a poster to do so, and then waited a while for them to before deleting the post if they don’t.

and/or, it would be nice to have a way for us to temporarily semi-delete a post while waiting for OP to make requested changes to it; that is, to hide it from the community view but leave it visible to people with the URL, or people who find it via the user profiles of the poster or commenters in it.

editing titles would be awkward without an edit history or, at the least, a way to see that some 2nd party had edited it, and editing post bodies would be even more so. but it would make sense and be useful with an edit history, i think.

i would also appreciate having content addressability, portable identity, composable moderation, and… perhaps a pony 😂

At first i thought, wow, cool they’re still developing that? Doing a release or two a year, i see.

I used to use it long ago, and was pretty happy with it.

Nope.

Nope, it is.

It allows someone to use code without sharing the changes of that code. It enables non-free software creators like Microsoft to take the code, use it however they like, and not have to share back.

This is correct; it is a permissive license.

This is what Free Software prevents.

No, that is what copyleft (aims to) prevent.

Tired of people calling things like MIT and *BSD true libre/Free Software.

The no True Scotsman fallacy requires a lack of authority about what what constitutes “true” - but in the case of Free/Libre software, we have one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Free_Software_Definition

If you look at this license list (maintained by the Free Software Foundation’s Licensing and Compliance Lab) you’ll see that they classify many non-copyleft licenses as “permissive free software licenses”.

They’re basically one step away from no license at all.

Under the Berne Convention of 1886, everything is copyrighted by default, so “no license at all” means that nobody has permission to redistribute it :)

The differences between permissive free software licenses and CC0 or a simple declaration that something is “dedicated to the public domain” are subtle and it’s easy to see them as irrelevant, but the choice of license does have consequences.

The FSF recommends that people who want to use a permissive license choose Apache 2.0 “for substantial programs” because of its clause which “prevents patent treachery”, while noting that that clause makes it incompatible with GPLv2. For “simple programs” when the author wants a permissive license, FSF recommends the Expat license (aka the MIT license).

It is noteworthy that the latter is compatible with GPLv2; MIT-licensed programs can be included in a GPLv2-only work (like the Linux kernel) while Apache 2.0-licensed programs cannot. (GPLv3 is more accommodating and allows patent-related additional restrictions to be applied, so it is compatible with Apache 2.0.)

What is a U.S.-sanctioned place? Why does the U.S. government think this is a bad thing?
