#licesing question.

People share (a)gpl code on github. Github is not available everywhere (even read access I think).

Does that break the GPL?

"...must prominently offer all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary means of facilitating copying of software"

(AGPL 3, section 13)

After months of procrastinating on it, I finally clean installed Windows 11 and Debian 12 (Linux) on my personal laptop. I intend to use Debian by default as my daily OS and dual boot to Windows if needed. If you want a clean install of W11, check out Windows Utility (Chris Titus Tech) and its MicroWin functionality. Oh and Ventoy is awesome: a single flash drive with all the .iso installers you need, readily bootable.

Just found out that Lancelot “Capability” Brown held the position of Royal Gardener at Hampton Court Place some years before my fictional Royal Gardener… how am I ever going to stop myself making a Bergholt Stuttley “Bloody Stupid” Johnson in-joke now?

(My researches also inform me the nickname came not from Lancelot being thought capable, but from his habitual judgement that whatever estate he was reviewing had the “capability” to be improved.)

341 Spahr Street, #Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. In 1991–92 Chris Paris and I lived on the first floor apartment in our fourth year at Carnegie Mellon.

Tom Lord lived on the third floor that year, decamping for Berkeley before the lease was up. What a great neighbor and a sweet guy. We knew he was a #Lisp hacker and a #Gnu guru...

Only much later did I learn that our neighbor Tom Lord was the father of #Guile! And sadly that he passed away, far too young, in 2022.

Ahh I can finally rest, cos now I have Signal account yet again! This time, I won't let go of the phone number cos I have 'Registration Lock' enabled now.

For anybody who's interested hitting me up, here's my Signal account. I'm free to chat (whenever I'm not busy of course). Talk about anything. Ask me about anything there, lol

#GNU and the #FSF have been fighting for copyleft the past decades. But if you look at their financial statement, you’ll see that their paid staff are just a dozen people. All the others are volunteers.

The Tor project alone has more employees than the FSF. Github has almost 6000 employees. Six thousand.

So the advocates for #copyleft must be us. We can’t point at the FSF and say “they didn’t do it”. They provide resources. We have to use them to protect our freedom as users.

Continued thread

I got nothing for Signal. I used my brother's phone number but the 6 digit verification number just doesn't come.. He doesn't even know what Signal app is, so I doubt he used his phone number to sign up.

Guess this isn't the day to meddle with Signal. "No Signal" I guess :(

I'mma stick with SimpleX chat. This and the email. I dunno about Matrix+Element though

#Poll #GIMP #GNUImageManipulationProgram #GNU #GNOME

Should the name of the GIMP application be changed?

GIMP ( GNU Image Manipulation Program ) is an open source graphics program ( think "Photo Shop" ).

Some people feel that the acronym is offensive to handicapped people

Should the name/acronym be changed?

Write your serious suggestions for a catchy new name and acronym in the comments!
