It charges at most 26.3% (23% for the delivery costs and 3.2% for the payments costs).
I doubt they're anti-diversity, but bringing up this topic in context of RMS and FSF is a bit rich, given the high-profile character assassination attempt directed at RMS, in not so distant past. Free software ecosystem hasn't fully recovered from that yet.
Simple: controversy. It wouldn't get so many clicks otherwise.
That's an interesting point, but I think you're jumping the gun by a few decades at least. If Stack Overflow and GPT type stuff eventually makes software copyright essentially non-existent then of course the GPL will be obsolete. But we're not there yet. Not by a long way.
What kind of hardware do I need to run something small scale (1 user concurrently) and get reasonable result? Are we talking about Raspberry Pi, Core i5, Geforce 4090?
I'm undecided, I'll give you two reasons:

Reddit will bounce back: there is simply no alternative for Reddit. HN? Too technical, too little social. Facebook? Too scattered too few experts. Too personal. 4Chan? Come on.

Reddit is done for: The third party apps are the only way to do moderation at scale. A large forum like reddit or Wikipedia simply needs software assisted moderation. Kill the apps, and Reddit will sink in a Twitteresque cesspool from which it will never arise.
Why not here in the US?

We give $3.8bn a year to Israel as it stands.
Both broad (knowing many topics, but at a shallow level) and deep (knowing one or a few topics deeply).

The idea is, don't just specialize. Don't just be a generalist. Know enough different areas to be a generalist, and know something in depth.
Clearly not, if you take a look at the demographics of the free software community and how it compares to tech more broadly.
GPL software imposes no limits for how it can be run. GPL only limits distribution, copying, development.
Hello can someone provide usecase for me as an user of this? Is it better because it is cheaper than commercially available apis?
The closest I have found is this: https://github.com/ossu/computer-science

Wondering if anyone has found good alternatives or different options.
I think you misinterpreted the security aspect.

I assume what they meant (and what I mean when I talk about how dire security is on GraphQL) is visibility first and foremost. Which users have access to which data. Things like multi-tenant or even just “you have access to X-model or this specific field on this model”.

Couple that with inconsistent performance (at least for RDMS) and inability to make use of state stores in a sane way (IMHO) on the frontend makes it a non-starter.
All the perfectly-successful, privately-owned companies seem to have a price at which they eventually sell out to a soulless conglomerate, q.v. StackOverflow and GitHub.

May I ask you to not touch it until we sort out the current problems?
My current one! At my internship, with a small banking software vendor based in Bengaluru, my manager (also nominally the CTO), is amazing to work with.

He, as mentioned in other comments listens, and does not dismiss out of hand, is competent, thinks before he types and teaches the correct way of doing things, including how to use judgement while taking shortcuts, and helps me understand some of the pitfalls that my approach has that i cannot see (for whatever reason).
I didn’t even know this word existed until I started reading along in HN threads.

I was at a party (ps. get off my lawn) where some junkie (heroin) punk rockers found the most expensive and delicate sculpture in the house and dumped potato salad on it. They thought they were funny, and that it was "art" or something.. it lasted two seconds for them and they forgot about it until about two hours later when they faced the consequences (minor) . that fine ship model with unusual coloring was destroyed. That is roughly what I think of this Beastie Boys idea, the loudest and stupidest thing you can find. The reason BB is great is how loud, and stupid, it is. Go do your two minutes of fun, but I dont want to know about it, honestly.
> Make a game where people, with no connection or bias for you, will organically recommend it - and you're going to succeed

I.e. "make a fun game that has organic viral growth"

As if developers don't want to do that. You have not provided any information of value here.

Organic viral growth is extremely rare, and "fun" is a useless descriptor for someone trying to replicate "fun" in their own game. Why would developers want to make a game that isn't fun?

"build it and they will come" is almost always a lie, and the times it's not (I.e. organic viral growth) are not replicable.

If you're making something you have to solve for distribution. Just making the thing isn't enough for it to succeed.
when you substract everything what C/C++/Java is, this will be interesting comparison what is closer ;)

similar to dig, aint it?
I'd argue that social networks are a little bit different because discussing is what they do. Reddit is obsessed with itself, when I'd say most of the wide world doesn't care about the API or 3rd party app business (though they eventually may if moderation gets bad). Even 15 years ago a good amount of posting on reddit was about itself: secret Santas, seeing reddit bumper stickers, self referential memes, killing digg, how it was going mainstream, etc. It's a pretty natural progression of any project. That isn't to say federation will be successful, just that its self obsession is pretty normal.

How does the GPL limit the freedom to run? I think you might be misunderstanding it. The only limitations are on distribution: giving the code to others without giving them the sources.

No one was, in the remotest sense, being ageist, sexist, or racist above… seeking to widen the appeal of something beyond an old white male audience isn’t, in any way, to anyone but an absolute dimwit, seeking to discriminate against that old white male audience.

Or, in other words that might make sense to a programmer:

assert (old && white && male) + (!old || !white || !male) >= (old && white && male)

the author is wrong about Bruce Perens and Eric S Raymond though. They are as far removed from libre software as Steve Ballmer or Bill Gates or Steve Jobs were.

Libre software is very radical and it's not about software excellence as Open Source is, but it's a political opinion about the freedom of the users using the software. Any user can turn into a developer in an instant (or not), and if he doesn't have the four freedoms libre software guarantees, most of the time he doesn't get very far or not as far as he wanted. Even Linus doesn't get this, to him free software is only about "tit for tat".
Ahh so maybe the expensive or difficult titanium work is the really high-end stuff like SR-71? I just recall from Skunk Works that they had a tough time working with it.

> fruits of the labor are not enjoyed by the workers

How is my salary not the fruit of my labor? We can quibble (as many people have over the centuries) which division of profits between labor and capital is "fair", but stating a modern laborer is not getting anything out of their labor is quite false. Not as much as they want, sure, but it's not zero.

The ways of shifting the balance between groups have also been known for centuries as well btw. Organization of labor into unions on the side of labor, various ways of divide-and-conquer on the side of capital.

The vast majority of casual users don't care. They want something that works and doesn't get in their way with weird bullshit. If you want lemmy to be something other than a self-filtered community of misfits and outcasts, you need to make it convenient and easy to use/grok for casual users.

Based on your reply, it's clear that lemmy will never be anything other than an afterthought.
Yup, that's my understanding as well
It is nice to just sit back and watch all of this unfold.

Reddit has long had a moderation problem[1], a freedom of speech problem[2], and a misinformation problem[3]. All three facets are at constant odds with each other and reddit's promise all along has been to appease all three with no sort of or minimal intervention.

That will not work. (see: twitter)

It's impossible to apply all three evenly without some level of bias.

Ah, so a white female cannot represent free software to a yellow male or a red trans? How incredibly racist, sexist and bigoted.

The composition of a group does not limit what it can do or stand for. Anything else would imply that some humans are more valuable than others.
My company just invested in Stack Overflow for Teams and we've found it fairly useful for maintaining a bank of institutional knowledge in the form of Q&A. I have noticed a significant slow down in contributions since the initial corpus of knowledge was added / new tool excitement wore off. But it is still useful reference for occasional lookups and it also excels in documenting very slim edge cases and their solutions in a way that a reference manual wouldn't IMO.
> Capitalism won, because it is the only economic system compatible with individual rights.

I disagree with all parts of that sentence; certainly all after the comma, but also the "won" depends on the form of capitalism.

Capitalism is the observation that the natural choices in a market can be useful despite greed; that emergent behaviour of greedy actors can be beneficial to all.

Laissez-faire capitalism took that to an extreme, and then the Great Depression happened and the USA looked much like the USSR did when the latter collapsed and then changed the rules without changing the name.

Communism, at least in certain forms, removes private property rights; but it also, when first devised, was a massive increase in personal rights relative to the global norms of the time, recognising things like the equality of women — e.g. that wives shouldn't be treated as the property of husbands, the Communist Manifesto was published about 45 years before New Zealand became the first country to allow women to vote — and the need to educate all children.

Some of the things Communism called for became normalised before the Great Depression, and Post-Great-Depression capitalism has seen them become part of the global definition of civilisation.

But, in recent years, capitalism is also shifting away from personal property and ownership into various permanent rental (and other non-ownership) scenarios: subscription software, Uber, Netflix, etc.
> Motorbikes are just dangerous, that's it.

I would extend that to anything with two wheels at a speed of 30km/h+.

A while ago I restored my bicycle after years of it gathering dust in the cellar and now that I'm older and more aware of risks I see how much I have to think ahead to not run over anyone.

At certain, low from a car driver's standpoint, speeds a bicycle will just go straight unless of course you decide to slide.
Small email providers are doomed, though. If they don't have an address from their ISP, just about everybody just gets a GMail account, or ProtonMail if they're more privacy focused.

The much more likely answer is that R2 is too new compared to when they started (announced in 2021) and switching from S3 to it is probably not trivial at Canva's scale.
The attacks on rms have been wholly based on what he actually said, not character assassination.

rms seems to forget that people will read not the words you write, but what they interpret you to be driving at based on the words you write. They took this to mean he was defending pedophilia (when in fact he wrote no such thing, being both neurodivergent and precise).

This is rms' fault for being bad at PR whilst being a public figure and leader.

+1 to Vivid. Being able to work outdoors with a perfectly readable laptop has been life-changing.
> All business is about value created, not expenses incurred.

Yes and no. Profit is revenue minus expenses. But you have to pay the expenses no matter what. Revenue and profit don't just magically appear.

> And houses and furniture have marginal costs, where software does not.

This seems to demonstrate what I said about taking software labor for granted. Producing software to operate at scale is actually quite difficult and requires a ton of labor.

> How does Linus Torvalds make money when Linux is free?

Good question. I don't even know. But the real question isn't how a few famous individuals like Torvalds and Stallman make a living. The question is how millions of non-famous individuals can make a living under this "funding model", whatever that happens to be.

> it's pretty clear that successful businesses can employ lots of people usi[n]g either model

Define "lots of people", and compare how many people are employed by open source companies vs. how many are employed by closed source companies.

[EDIT:] I suspect the answer to the question of Linux funding is corporate donors. Which would be pretty ironic, given the anti-capitalist argument here, don't you think? It's just like how Mozilla is funded in large part by Google search revenue.

Forward secrecy does not provide any value against cryptography compromise. Quite the opposite as it depends on the security of the cryptography over the long term to insure old messages stay inaccessible after the key is forgotten.

Forward secrecy addresses this specific attack:

* Someone builds a archive of your encrypted messages, possibly without your knowledge or consent.

* That someone then gets access to your secret key material.

* They can then decrypt their archive.

The session keys are exchanged by the asymmetrical systems that the imagined quantum computer would be able to break. So the attacker gets the session keys directly. So for, say, signal, they only have to break a new key exchange which doesn't happen all that often. They can just run the hash ratchet after that. Even for TLS that does a new session key per connection, that connection might last a fair time. The 10 min can be spread over multiple connections for this proposal. We are hardly talking about a massive increase of difficulty.
It's not that difficult. Lemmy is like email. You need an instance to host your account like gmail, outlook or gmx, but you can still send/receive emails with everybody else.
It’s not an exact science in either case - the NTSB attributes crashes to the pilot for things like “flew into clouds as a visual pilot” even if the proximate cause of death was controlled flight into terrain.

The kicker for me is you can do everything perfectly correctly and a drunk driver sideswipes you and you’re just a list of organs available.

It wasn’t for me; I’m not saying it’s not for others.

But if you do want to ride, take those defensive motorcycle courses and, like a pilot, be willing to say “today is not my day to ride” and don’t mix alcohol (the eight hour bottle to throttle is a good rule for any piece of heavy machinery).

Genuine question: What license should I use for a new open source project? I want to develop a new pay-if-you-want software product. I previously developed one with a GPL license that is successful in its niche. The GPL didn't cause me any problems, but if there's a license that better represents "I want to share this with the world, donate if you want" I'm open to suggestions.
> I don't care what your background is, I care what you bring to the table.

The problem is that there will always be biases in hiring, "meritocracy" is a myth. It has been shown numerous times (e.g. [1]) that there is a significant bias towards men even if male and female candidates are equal, with the most decisive bias being an assumption that women may not be willing/able to work longer hours.

Besides, meritocracy is fraught with other issues as well, see e.g. [2][3][4] for more detailed writeups than I could possibly write here in a HN comment.

FSF's core principles cannot be defended if there's no one willing to defend them.

RMS has been directly responsible for scaring away people from the core mission of the FSF. Not just because of what other people have mentioned, but because he directly insults and threatens other individuals when he doesn't get his way. He's been doing this for decades now [1], long before anyone can claim the current furor is because of 'cancel culture' or whatever. And the end result is a more and more irrelevant FSF.

Consider two timelines: immediate, and long-term future. Which world is more free?

A: short term more free: you get to do what you please now, including not giving others the freedoms you got.

B: long term more free: copyleft ensures that a library of code builds up, available for everyone to run, study, and modify, and that it's a hassle to restrict others' freedom to use your modifications.

If practicality is only considered until the next tax period, world A is more attractive. Once you start thinking in human lifetimes, it no longer is.

There is a delay, but can’t that delay also be explained by the difference in perception too? For instance…until the government perceives or recognizes the exploitation…who is to govern against it? Only the employee can by exercising their freedoms to change jobs can fully protect themselves from an exploitation that is not legally recognized.

I realize that this timing disconnect is a slippery slope especially in a historical context, but I think in modernity the recognition is much quicker and frankly at this point there is probably not a lot of truly exploitive things that need additional regulation going on by companies in the US who corporately are trying to follow the law.
