Any Open Sources license specialist? What’s the best open source license that allow the users to do WTF they want EXCEPT selling the code/product or make money with it?

What's your `tmux` prefix?

"If you added the combined word counts of the C11, C++17, UEFI, USB 3.2, and POSIX specifications, all 8,754 published RFCs, and the combined word counts of everything on Wikipedia’s list of longest novels, you would be 12 million words short of the W3C specifications."

Hi folks,
mein Kind schreibt für die Schule eine Arbeit über Metal und Musikgeschmack. Dazu hat sie eine Umfrage gebastelt und bittet um rege Teilnahme. Auch Menschen, die Metal nicht mögen, sind ausdrücklich eingeladen, ihre Meinung kundzutun.

gerne boosten.

Hey #Fediverse #FreeSoftware people, a friend made a great observation: due to #COVID this is a pretty good time to promote #FLOSS teleconferencing / remote work solutions.

So!

Anybody any suggestions for a free software #teleconferencing solution that could handle 10-15 people simultaneously? I had mixed experiences with meet.jit.si. I also know there's @nextcloud Talk app which kinda works, but never got around to testing it more extensively.

Don't pay for expensive PDF editing tools – use LibreOffice Draw! Since LibreOffice 6.4, it lets you consolidate (join) multiple text boxes into a single one, which is great if you've imported a PDF and the text content is split up into lots of chunks: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2020/03/06/libreoffice-power-feature-join-text-boxes-after-importing-pdfs/

Dear #Fediverse #admins, here's a poll for you! Completely hypothetically, if #Facebook and #birdsite implemented #activitypub, would you be inclined to allow them to federate with your instance?

Yes, I appreciate that "it depends" and "it's complicated" (it really really is!). But please 🐻 with me, I'm just curious about your gut feeling about this.

I've just realized that #Rust has eliminated defensive coding for me.

Defensive coding is "I know it's not supposed to be `null`, but I'll check just in case" or "I know the caller isn't supposed to mutate or free this object, but I'll make a copy just in case" or "I know that function should be thread-safe, but I'll avoid threads just in case"

In Rust nullability, mutability and thread-safety are encoded in types, so I never have to second-guess them.

Consider unfollowing that person that always leaves you feeling worse about things.
