       How do you customize your #Mastodon home feed to be a bit more... interesting... and less like a fire hose?

       Reflecting a bit on the #juneteenth holiday, and what it means to me as a White man. I think about the suffering experienced by our Black community, and how the system in the #USA has always been stacked against them - even after slavery was abolished (which, to be honest, was politically motivated more than anything).Holding space today for grief, for truth, and for the hope that comes with honest reflection.

       The #Trump playbook:1. Inserts himself into a topic (war, trade, immigration, etc.)2. Create chaos3. End the EXACT chaos that HE created4. Demands praise5. Rinse & repeatIt's such a tiring, predictable cycle. 😫#uspol

       @eruwero More freedom in an MIT license.

       @eruwero I see and appreciate that user-centric view. MIT grants absolute freedom from the perspective of the individual using the code (developers/companies) for whatever their use-case may be.

       @eruwero Oh I know. I had a GPL software company (since sold). I'm a believer. But GPL is restrictive in that it, in some capacity, forces a worldview. I never got to choose what code we should have opened versus something closed off (which would have been beneficial for users for certain functionality). That lack of freedom was frustrating. MIT is less restrictive because it's very straightforward. No arguing whether something is "GPL compliant" or not (those arguments happen all the time).

       @eruwero What do you mean by "nonfree"?

       @eruwero Ah got it. Understand that take. My point is that MIT grants broader freedom overall because it doesn’t force obligations on the developer about how they share or license their own work. GPL creates freedom for users, but only by restricting developer choice. MIT creates freedom for both users and developers, because it doesn’t dictate downstream terms.
