GPLv3 is less proprietary than GPLv2, in the sense that it does a better job at protecting end-users from being abused by device makers that would try to close up their Linux-based system.

Imagine having such a hard-on for letting corporations exploit your work in abusive Tivoized products that you stoop to retaliation against a company that’s actually trying to protect their customers.

They know it’s better than v2.

Anticopyright diatribes are the important part!

Does this mean they’re Alex Jones’s boss now?

I wasn’t thinking of trying to regulate down the power on the heat gun itself, I was thinking of cycling it on and off (or cycling between heat and fan-only mode) to maintain thermostatic control of the temperature in the box.

I wonder if I could DIY an air fryer with a heat gun, a metal box, and a PID controller.

That’s really interesting!

We’ve been overdue for a revolution at least in copyright law for a long time now.

I have always used Firefox on all my devices, except for one: the Chromebook I was forced to buy because of compatibility with my college’s test proctoring spyware.

On that device, not only did uBlock Origin quit working the other day, but today Chrome even kept disabling uBlock Lite with the error message that “This extension reloaded itself too frequently”. It could be some kind of legitimate bug, but it sure feels a lot like foul play on Google’s part.

Brave was astro-turfed by crypto-scammers for way too long to give people suggesting it now the benefit of the doubt.

Imagine having an OS that doesn’t come with a proper package manager (and Firefox installed by default, for that matter).

Back then, !selfhosted@lemmy.world was one of the most active communities, LOL. There might be somewhat fewer people here right now, but at least the content has diversified somewhat since we settled in.

(Not that I dislike self-hosting, mind you. In fact I wouldn’t mind if that community were a little more active…)

.World not being hosted in the US is news to me (as an American member of it, no less). It’s definitely welcome news, though!

I don’t know the answer, but I do know I’d at least start off looking for hardware with a dedicated ASIC for routing, not general-purpose PC hardware doing routing with the CPU.

It looks like the “good enough” placeholder art that devs put in before they get around to hiring an actual artist. It’s serviceable to understand what things are and what’s happening, but there’s no style to it.

He just told you: “it looks terrible.” And he’s not wrong; Factorio’s art really does kinda suck.

Stuff that isn’t accessed eventually gets deleted. If the Lemmy instances (which are clearnet, of course) delete the references to it, it would go away.

Chrome’s engine was originally forked from WebKit. That makes them too similar (even years later) for WebKit to count as a real alternative.
