  • Switching licenses to future versions doesn’t invalidate previous versions released under GPL.

    I’m not a lawyer but I deal with OSS licenses for work and I don’t know if there’s ever been a case like this, that I can think of anyway.

    Their previous versions, still being under the GPL, would require them to release a change to make it usable on desktops. Again, I’m not a lawyer here but there is a lot of case law behind the GPL and I think the user who made the issue could take them to court to force them to make the change if they don’t respond in 30 days.








  • It was the most perfect call. There has never been a call perfecter. He called me. That’s right. Apple called and said and he said, “Sir, the EU, the NATO, they keep killing us. They are killing us in the market. With the regulations.”

    These regulations that lying Joe passed with Obama. That’s right. He said, “Sir, you have to do something.”

    I told him I’ll be able to once I’m elected. This is really crooked, what these democracies are doing. Kamala, you know, hasn’t taken the cognitive. No, she hasn’t. What is she now? Indian? Some of those Indians are very smart you know. They have billions of them over in Indiana.



  • This conversation seems to come up every now and again and lemmy seems to split between two camps:

    • students, especially low income students who can’t afford their own devices, will use devices to do things kids do (yes, this includes porn)
    • schools, as part of their duty to provide a safe learning environment, have a responsibility to provide some level of filtering and content monitoring

    Where that line gets drawn has to be an active conversation between schools, parents, and students. But this conversation often delves into “BuT tHiNk Of ThE cHiLdReN!”
