I only enable telemetry for software provided by nonprofit organizations that are legally obligated to publish detailed financial records. Never give anyone that reserves the right to sell you out any of the benefit of your data for free.

The license looks to be Creative Commons non-commercial, which means it isn’t open source, only source-available.

To be clear: the license chosen prohibits anyone who forks floorp and includes these extra bits from trying to make money from it, but the developer still intends on publishing the source code so it can still be scrutinized.

I’m just here to spread contempt for companies that rely on manipulative business tactics to function and encourage people not to buy one for that reason alone.

When you organize a nonprofit, you dedicate it to the public benefit. it’s not supposed to ever have owners, everything it does it supposed to be for me and you. as far as I’m concerned, this is a multi billion dollar larceny against the general public and we really need better laws that preserve our nonprofit institutions. Just even trying to plan this out is a crime against humanity

Just to clarify to anybody who who might be confused. It’s going to be on PlayStation store not on the PlayStation console which came out almost 30 years ago

I notice a book on dash. I wonder if it’s the dash that is the default shell on Debian. I always had a historical curiosity about the original author of the shell that would become dash, Kenneth Almquist. It’s just such a ubiquitous piece of software and yet there’s basically no information about the person who wrote it. All I’ve ever been able to find is his original Usenet post announcing his Almquist Shell. I think it would be cool if somehow in her world, the techno mage is the one who figures out what happened to Kenneth Almquist, who somehow winds up playing a role in her journey.
