He answered your question with a yes. If you buy and operated some chainsaw with an assistance technology and it automatically cuts down your neighbors tree then you are responsible. Your neighbor doesn't sue the chainsaw manufacturer, they sue you. You can sue the manufacturer all you want too, but the court won't let you tell your neighbor its the chainsaw manufacturer's fault and you are innocent.
I had the same question- "Does taking down the website cure the violation?"

Here's the relevant clause in GPLv3:

> You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third paragraph of section 11).

> However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.

> Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.

Basically- the website WAS in violation, and Mastodon is within their rights to permanently withdraw the license following their 30-day notice. I think the key here is the difference between "cease violation", with truth.social has done by taking down the site, and "cure the violation", which refers to correcting the earlier violation by distributing the source as it existed at that time. Without "curing" the previous violation, then truth.social cannot launch again with any modified version of Mastodon, as their license will be permanently revoked.

That said, there's leeway involved due to truth.social not being intentionally public. On one hand, "people were able to access it and make accounts", on the other hand, gaining access to some company's internal GPL tool because they misconfigured a VPN does not entitle you to source for that tool (and you violated the CFAA). It's a question for the courts, but it probably doesn't really matter because one of three things will happen:

1) truth.social will re-launch with no Mastodon code, and doesn't care if their Mastodon license is revoked.

2) truth.social will re-launch with Mastodon code, will provide their sources, and the whole thing goes away.

3) truth.social will re-launch with Mastodon code, will NOT provide the sources, and Mastodon has a much stronger legal leg to stand on.

You can't have your cake and eat it.

Apple made a ton of buzz around the TV show, and it took _because_ they use the Asimov work.

Apple did the Apple thing, they overhyped a product that they then designed according to their own rules, expecting everybody to just eat their crap and smile as usual.

But it turns out people liking classic SF books are not your average fanboy, and they don't like being lied to.

It's not just about marketing, it's about trust. It's about taking a dump on a legendary art piece to make money with a the Apple smug confidence. While Dune was a masterful yet humble demonstration of respect and love to the book.

"Nowadays I keep finding RoR jobs but I see more and more legacy applications that need to be maintained in order to move to a new technology."

This is exactly the situation with a number of long-standing, formerly popular languages. ColdFusion and PHP jump to mind. They're fine languages and people love them, but if no one's paying, why bother sticking to them? Loving a programming language doesn't pay the bills.

"I'm sure it will keep providing as long as Ruby engineers become founders or companies keep maintaining legacy projects built with the technology."

My previous employer was maintaining over 30 acquired company's worth of legacy code bases. They replaced common functionality via new microservices and would sometimes replace an entire product via a new acquisition. It's sometimes a better ROI to replace instead of maintaining or building.
I got the chance of using an SGI Fuel in the early 2000's and also some O2's. I don't know exactly why, I never bought one, I don't even like proprietary or closed solutions but those 90's UNIX workstations... I have an unreasonable attraction to them.

I remember in mid 90's trying some of them for the first time. I've got really impressed by Sun sparcstations and IBM Power machines. Computers which you could spend the whole day programming with no threat to system stability, even after consecutive segfaults, impressed me. And it impressed even more knowing that in the UNIX world it has always been like that. Seeing a x86 again running windows felt mostly like a toy after that. Certainly one of the reasons that influenced me to use linux.

Those machines were expensive. In the range of a tens of thousands dollars. So, working on one of them was a symbol of status and success. Owning one of them, to me, was like owning an yacht or exclusive sports car.

One thing I like about cheap ARM SBC's these days is their performance... these machines have a performance, that I think, is similar to how those UNIX would feel. Linux is way more advanced than those old unices but the feeling is still there. I can install wmaker and get a very interesting nostalgic feeling.

Just to try it, I installed the latest CDE version on my experimental Debian 11 system. It is incredibly usable and performant. Being able to have a well integrated system, with everything needed for development was just another level in those days. While on the PC people rejoiced because of Delphi and Visual BASIC, you could write real GUIs in C with CDE and application builder. I'm not claiming it is better in any way, but it felt incredibly more powerful.

I think this is a fallacy perpetuated by unrealistic ideals. I bought a house for 175K at 24. I only make 50K a year. I don't have a college degree.

Lot of people saying buying houses is hard, unrealistic, or impractical want to buy mansions with a 10 second commute to their workplace in silicon valley but the reality is most people are not living like that.

Wage workers are still buying houses no problem in what are considered "low income" areas as they have been and interest rates are better than ever.

I mostly agree with that, but I don't recall seeing any explanation for the necessity of Mentats and the lack of robots/AIs/computer screens 10,000+ years into the future, or that the date wasn't actually our calendar date, but from the start of the current empire. And it would have still been interesting to show a Guild Navigator plotting a path. The Guild are barely mentioned. It's easy to overlook exactly why the spice is so important. It seems like they could have taken 5 minutes to fit those two in there.

I’m curious what value alternatives to the USD would offer me?

It’s an incredibly stable medium of exchange accepted universally in this nation and in many places around the world.

It’s simple, well understood, easy to use.

It’s hard and/or expensive to do certain things with such as send money to certain places.

Maybe you can give some good reasons as to why we really need alternatives, as historically, our fragmented monetary system after independence was a total mess.

Particularly if your time horizon is like 3 months. Seems like they’re making two huge mistakes now by selling. Home values will almost certainly rise from here over the next 10+ years, and even the most casual market watcher/Zillow user knows that their “zestimates” are crap, they weren’t going to nail it that precisely. Literally everyone intuitively knows that it was a bad time to buy and now an even worse time to sell… except for the analytics company with all of the data. They should just hold and rent the properties via their app, if they can’t make the math work otherwise.
Never encountered these, what were you listening to?
I dropped 10 years and 200/mo. off of my mortgage

Roughly the same here, and I had a very low mortgage from a small line of credit.

Between sticker price on a house and interest rates, prices tend to equalize-- people can always only afford $X/month, regardless of the proportion going to interest. This means that, all else being equal. the most fortunate time to buy is when slightly higher % rates have kept sticker prices down a bit. That way when rates inevitably go down at some point in the future you can refi at a lower rate, getting the benefit of having purchased a lower price and then dropping down to a lower interest rate as well. Certainly not something you can choose to do, given that trends often measure by a decade or two, so this is just an observation, not advice to wait for higher interest rates to suppress sticker prices.

Regarding GUI applications: you're probably talking about the Nixpkgs repository, rather than the Nix tool itself.

I use the following Nix function to install GUI applications https://github.com/cmacrae/.nixpkgs/blob/d4b51eb414b0edaffae...

It doesn't work for everything, but I use it at the moment for Amethyst, DBeaver, DockerDesktop, Emacs, Firefox, iTerm2, Postman, Slack and VNCViewer.
If you connect to Linux servers from a Mac, you should try out iterm2's tmux integration. Iterm2 knows how to manage Tmux transparently, so you don't have to even think about it. You just get resumable SSH sessions that save your windows and tabs, and use normal scrolling.

It's about as transparent/native feeling as you can get, and it works really well.
Author here! I didn’t even think about it from an organizational learning perspective - this was written with individual learning in mind. I run a product team and this is a challenge we have as well - I think that requires a balance between building processes, ownership, and visibility efforts that keep organizational learning growing. All together that creates a culture - it’s not the processes themselves, but shared enforcement and encouragement that keeps organizational learning going. Ben Horowitz’a book “What you do is who you are” is good on that as well. Worth a deeper dive :)

Mike - just wanted to say thanks for all you (and the other Homebrew volunteers) do! My mac dev experience is 100x better with Homebrew - it's literally the first thing I install when I get a new machine.

Perhaps in situations like this Homebrew could alert the user "Hey, this package hasn't been updated in a while and 40 other packages depend on it so this is going to take a while. Press enter to confirm or cancel and use an alternative method (HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_UPGRADE) to just upgrade the one package. Caveat - this may break things."

> For some reason, your argument completely eliminates the author from the decision process. Do you find that to be fair or in good faith?

As someone reading through this: Yes. I find that argument both reasonable and fair.

The author is free to ask for compensation up front in exchange for the tool they've built. They can also just simply refuse to license it in the first place.

But a license that I can violate if the author simply changes their mind is quicksand: Nothing of value can be built on it, because it might sink at ANY POINT.

It's literally unusable as a tool.

> I don't know about this version but at least one could uninstall the maintenance service.

You'd obviously be able to uninstall this, too. If your OS allows third-party programs to install services that can not be disabled or uninstalled, the problem is deeper than just the programs you are installing; you need a different OS.

> Mozilla has a damned hide to automate updates, not to mention gathering data about users' habits without telling them what's been gathered, and also not allowing users to turn off that collection if they wished.

Telemetry is optional. You can disable it. I can understand disliking Mozilla or Firefox's direction, but I absolutely don't understand this paranoid, cynical doomposting and straight-up misinformation about one of the only browsers where you can actually outright disable telemetry, and where you can still separate the address bar from the search bar to avoid leaking information.

> we know the depth of this surveillance just by looking at Mozilla's comments on v94's webpage. There's no way Mozilla would know that data unless Firefox's surveillance of its users had been all-pervasive.

What do you expect to happen when you check the "Allow Firefox to send technical and interaction data to Mozilla" other than them sending data about how people use the browser to Mozilla? It even has a link right next to it in the settings where you can see what data is used. You can know the "depth of this surveillance" by just clicking "learn more" and reading the very first section you are linked to, titled "Interaction data".

More importantly, what do you actually propose? What browser are you using that is much more private and secure than Firefox, and allows you the same flexibility in controlling the level of privacy you actually want?
Maybe on paper it costs 10k to do cosmetic fixes on a house that will now sell for 80k more. But there is no guarantee that workers will be available and interested in doing that small budget work. More importantly to your point the local realtors and other people in the area are likely to pick up any really good deals before Zillow gets to them.
Yea, I'm sure everyone with a lemon house was licking their lips when they heard Zillow would buy sight unseen.
Thank you for voicing this perspective! I've switched to Firefox ~3-4 years ago and I've seen considerable progress (on multiple platforms). I'm really grateful that we - internet users - have a great alternative to corporate-backed browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari). Thanks Firefox team!
The search bar is more convenient, and sometimes the docs are hard to find. That said, I find a lot of docs are quite easy to read, and often have to take the second step of omitting SO or otherwise restricting the search to docs and kicking myself.

Some documentation is wonderful. I try to use documentation quality as an important consideration when choosing software.

The AWS docs have big issues, but they are similar to the big issues with SO - it's so easy to find old documentation. Also, they are horribly organized.
