You definitely can’t have your cake and eat it too. Linux for many has been about freedom and privacy. He made a direct contribution toward a system that would help take that away

I’ve had polarized lenses reveal multi colored scan lines between black spaces that can be a tad disorienting

Polarized glasses and a low refresh rate is a recipe for a good beach vomiting

I’m sure many trackers and indicators can already figure out your date of birth depending on which web services you’ve used

Yeah I don’t toxicity either it helps nobody. But if you would allow me to be a little vulgar, here’s a quick attempt to aggregate why the legal side of GPL has been important:

Search engines take a bunch of time and I gotta keep parenting.

Also* it took decades for GNU/Linux to accrue enough momentum to get to a point where it is today: a commercially viable cloud powerhouse. It didn’t get here by letting anybody/everybody just do what they want with the software. These small flights accumulate to protect an entire ecosystem of beloved software, which is why many of us feel the need to use the only voice we have. I don’t think for sure that anybody wants to replace Linux with a permission version but the benefits for greedy corporations to see that happen is pretty clear. Especially when people are willing to start doing that for free

I think the biggest point you may be missing here is if you start re-writing GNU/Linux (which is what uutils is the first step in doing) with an MIT license, you start making reasons for commercial entities that contribute back out of obligation to stop supporting upstream free software. This is a no brainer to me. As to whether or not anybody should stop writing uutils, the answer is **obviously not. ** The license, however, is free game for scrutiny

I wrote this before I realized that you don’t actually care about the answer, you just want people to shut up about it, so sorry. If you want somebody to do the work you’ll have to do it yourself now. You’ve been given plenty of examples in this thread already

It’s not about any of us enjoying the license*, it’s about preserving the integrity of free software. It’s both flattering and disturbing that core utils is popular enough that people have decided to give them away to anyone who would want to take them without ever contributing back. If those people are found out there will be no legal recourse. Those Rust rewrites would inevitably be made proprietary without any credit for the authors.

Its doing the job of a code review alongside putting the program together. The parts the AI cannot get right need to be written yourself. AI really speeds up tedium for me but every line of code has to be read carefully. If the “vibe” is having to do the work anyway, then it’s vibe coding. I do like the speed boost I get for my 7 cents per query. It’s like I’m in my 30s without a kid again

This is why I’d just call it programming with AI tools and not “vibe coding”

Rust cannot help you if you disable the safety features, go figure.

You don’t want an agentic AI to coach you through the process or relevant ads after?

Meanwhile my Linux runtime still boots for 1G and Emacs is looking pretty good right now lol

Fedora.

Absolutely! Of all of the grilled cheese recipes out there this is by far one of the recipes out there. A little bit of cheese can really make your day better. Just like that time that Mankind faced off against The Undertaker the WWF pay per view special “Hell in a Cell”, 1998. Mankind climbed to the top of the 16 foot cage and taunted the Undertaker to wrestle him up high, only to end up getting thrown into the commentator tables below. Everyone thought the match was over but just before Mankind was taken out in a stretcher he got up and ran back for more. I’ll never forget how The Undertaker choke slammed him through the top of the cage and onto the thumb tacks below. It just really gives me hope for humanity.

You’re absolutely right! Those posts do have many indicators of having been written by an AI. You’re doing a great job finding these comments

Turn down the temperature in your home 🤣

It’s the “arrrrrr” matey!

I think the hope is that the maintainers will include working SELinux policies do you won’t hang to figure that out yourself.

One thing Fedora does well is ship newer stuff
