@solarpapst@social.anoxinon.de In some cases, such as translation services, the #European alternatives are also of substantially better quality than the more wellknown US ones. Which makes sense, because most Americans don't even know other languages exist, and they generally use a very US-centric approach.Let's e.g. try to #translate"Kannst du einen Hobel von Deutschland nach Frankreich nehmen?"from #German to #French - a frequently needed language pair:- #Google Translate: "Peut-on prendre l'avion d'Allemagne en France ?"- #DeepL: "Peut-on prendre un rabot de l'Allemagne vers la France ?"- #Reverso: "Pouvez-vous emmener un rabot d’Allemagne en France?"- #ModernMT: "Pouvez-vous prendre une trancheuse d'Allemagne en France ?"- eTranslation: not tested as it needs an account- #Supertext: "Pouvez-vous prendre un rabot de l’Allemagne vers la France ?"Note that only Google Translate turned a woodworking tool into an aircraft. Why did it? Because it can't actually translate from German to French. It translates from German to English, and then from English to French - and totally falls for both the woodworking tool and the aircraft being called "plane" in English. Typical US-centric approach, who in the US cares about those weird people who don't even speak English as first language... MAGA and stuff.(ModernMT turned it into a sausage slicing machine, though, but given the word "Hobel" is occasionally - seldomly - used to describe such machines in German [even though other words like "Allesschneider" and "Wurstschneidemaschine" are more common], this isn't entirely incorrect)

@icedquinn@blob.cat VCs can use GPL stuff too - but it is limited and carries compliance costs, and thus usually more expensive than MIT.So still a nice forcing function.

@icedquinn@blob.cat GPL does not require open sourcing changes if you do not distribute the software.AGPL goes further but has massive usability issues even for end users who do not care. IMHO if AGPL software that provides a network service just had a facility to provide its own source, that would already help a lot so one does not have to take care of that separately. Maybe for HTTP stuff that should even be a standardized URL like https://service/source.agpl?

@Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com @icedquinn@blob.cat My point is, if it is open source, it will be modified, sooner or later. And be it to temporarily work around a minor bug. That's what open source is all about after all (not all though, sure).So if I e.g. use an AGPL'd web forum, and host that on my server, all is fine. The moment I go in there and edit one line, I suddenly have to provide source.So I better provide source right from the get-go.The problem is that even right now many users of AGPL'd software forget that part, as they do not plan on modifying it initially and in that case the AGPL doesn't require it.Which is why, if I ever license anything under the AGPL or a similar license, I'll make it so the software hosts its own source code automatically, packaged e.g. as part of the build process, or serving from its running directory if there's nothing to compile. Which elegantly solves the problem for everyone involved.I already did a similar thing before when I licensed something under MIT and/or BSD licenses. The main catch there is that you can accidentally include the library in something and forget to include the license file or the credits, as you may believe it is "GPL compatible" and thus your own GPL stuff is sufficient. It is not. My solution to that is to provide one global symbol in the library that contains the license notice. So if by nothing else, you can always find it with strings on the binary, which fulfills the license requirements and thus I can rest assured nobody will ever violate my license terms by accident.If someone then actively removes it and doesn't include the license file, there's clear intent.

@tazgetroete@mastodon.social "Auch Selenskyjs Auftritt in einem T-Shirt mit der Aufschrift „Make Russia small again“ lässt nicht vermuten, dass es der Ukraine nur um Landesverteidigung geht."Er versteht eben, dass Russland kämpfen wird, solange es kann. Es kann also nur dann einen gerechten Frieden geben, wenn Russland dabei in einem gewissen Sinne "kaputt geht". Auch umgekehrt - wenn es mit einem gerechten Frieden endet, wird Russland kaputtgehen wegen Gesichtsverlusts Putins.Das System Putin muss enden. Wie, ist eigentlich egal. Das muss kein Zerfall des Staates sein - das kann auch eine Demokratisierung sein, d.h. der Staat müsste politisch klein werden, nicht territorial. Definitiv wird es Verfassungsänderungen brauchen, und neue Strukturen, die sich besser Korruption und Alleinherrschaft widersetzen. Zuallererst müssten wohl die Menschenrechte wirksam verankert werden.Das Beste daran ist - dies alles wäre sogar gut für den Großteil der russischen Zivilgesellschaft. Die jetztige politische und wirtschaftliche Elite ("Oligarchen") wird aber darunter leiden.

@Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com @icedquinn@blob.cat Pretty sure editing one line of source code is not fair use.After all, supposedly just inverting the sense of one conditional jump - a one byte change - is also against copyright.Fair use is not using an existing work with one tiny change. Fair use is making a new work with a tiny bit of another.As such, the moment you change one byte, the full force of the AGPL kicks in, as nothing else gives you the right to use the modified software.Exceptions apply, such as the interoperability restriction in copyright law in Germany which allows you to decompile or even modify software to gain interoperability with another system. This however usually does not cover fixing bugs, unless those bugs hamper interoperability.

A #troll #license that's both #GPL incompatible and #DFSG incompatible, but otherwise basically as free as it gets: DO WHAT THE @!#%'N TUBA YOU WANT TO (BUT ONLY THAT) PUBLIC LICENSE Version 1, January 2026Copyright (C) 2026 Rudolf Polzer GermanyCopyright (C) 2004 Sam Hocevar 14 rue de Plaisance, 75014 Paris, FranceEveryone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim or modified copiesof this license document, and changing it is allowed as long as the nameis changed. DO WHAT THE @!#%'N TUBA YOU WANT TO (BUT ONLY THAT) PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION0. You just DO WHAT THE @!#%'N TUBA YOU WANT TO (BUT ONLY THAT).The trick is that this license only allows you to do things you want to do, whereas e.g. the GPL even allows you to do some things you feel compelled to do. As such this is an additional restriction the GPL does not allow. This also violates DFSG #1 (Free Redistribution), #5 (No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups), #6 (No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor).#Debian can easily redistribute such software anyway, it just takes one willing person (the Debian package maintainer) to replace the license by one they prefer. Similarly, in a moment of willingness you can just relicense such a work under the GPL, thereby making it GPL compatible just fine (and if you merge such a work with a GPL work, you'll actually have to remove this license file and relicense).Of course, some may interpret the regular #WTFPL to also have this exact same issue - it after all says "WHAT [...] YOU WANT TO", and not "(AND EVEN THINGS YOU DON'T WANT TO DO)". My license text just makes this even clearer so nobody can go and interpret "WHAT [...] YOU WANT TO" as "ANYTHING".

After thousands of incidents where young people in chat networks gave others #bash commands that claimed to "fix" their system, but instead wreaked havoc such as deleting all files by "reading mail really fast", the #WhiteHouse implemented a #security countermeasure: the manual of bash is now behind an 18+ #age #restriction.I see this as a good start, but we need more of it. perl, for example, should be 35+, as using #Perl correctly is about as hard as presiding over a country.
