That was a frustrating read. Dude gets screwed by Microsoft who effectively steals his code and rebrands it as theirs and then he goes on to talk about why he prefers MIT.

If you throw a spinning chainsaw into a room of bunnies, the chainsaw is not at fault for the bloodbath, you are.


That’s understandable, though one of the other commenters suggested the LGPL which might make for a good fit for your case. Here’s a comparison with the other two if you’re interested.
The AGPL is just the GPL with extra rules requiring sharing the code even if you expose it exclusively via a service.


Ooh, yes for for this case, the LGPL would be a good middle-ground for OP’s concerns.


A simple comparison between the two via interoperable-europe.ec.europa.eu says that they’re almost identical save for one clause around trademarks:

But I’d be remiss if I didn’t advocate for a license that better protected your project from corporate theft. The AGPL and GPL are excellent licenses that protect your work and that of the community from companies that would copy it, improve it exclusively for themselves and then ship your work exclusively in binary form:


“Small” steps, because the necessary big steps like insulating homes and rebuilding our road infrastructure for flood resistance is work the state must do… and they’re too busy throwing old ladies in prison for holding up signs and splashing paint.


That’s an excellent tutorial, but the bit about blocking legitimate web crawlers should be a little higher up in the article. I read all the way down and was ready to try it out when I encountered that deal-breaker.


They paved everything and filled the streets with monster trucks that park on every possible surface. Children are prisoners in their own homes. None of this should be surprising.


I agree 100% but would point out that simply having healthier options available at reasonable prices is only half the solution. The other half is time. With much of the working class working 9-10hr days and commuting for an additional 2hrs, that doesn’t leave a lot of time for the gym or cooking healthy meals. …and that’s for those lucky enough to be working only one job.


This is excellent framing. What’s terrifying is that the side offering it is the one betting on “burn the climate”.


Not unless those AC units are combined with rooftop solar. Most schools have massive amounts of space on the roof, so solar should be cheap and potentially even profitable to install.


Also way cheaper, though the school would have to ventilate over night lest it just become a slow-bake oven.


There’s absolutely connections between them, though most of their videos seem to be bending over backwards to draw lines between some of them. The problem is in the presentation: insisting on drawing so many connections is unnecessary, especially when some of them are so tenuous.


I love the idea of DDN, but so many of the videos are just the same dude spinning connections between different parties until it’s just a big ball of red yarn pinned to a wall. This, coupled with the spooky music and those ridiculous title cards (it’s always EXPOSED!) I just can’t with them.


The facts don’t care about the feelings of the electorate, let alone that of shareholders.


For those on Mastodon, the #CarryShitOlympics hashtag has some real gems in this style.
Ooh, that’s very encouraging, thank you! At least there’s hope that Triodos will work then.


Stories like this keep framing this as if it’s some kind of surprising bug. This is literally what they’re designed to do.


With all those forest fires clearing the way, now’s the time to build more climate shredding infrastructure!
MIT code can be used in GPL projects though. It simply becomes GPL code.
