For that price, does it compress anything you put in the bag?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Yeah that’s called a bag of holding and it would be worth 1000x that. Hell I’d probably save up all my Pennie’s for that.

Hella respect for this move, and i like the look of these. I just wish it had come at a time before I was concerned about the price of everything that I need to survive sky rocketing. Would have purchased 2 years ago.

Libre software selling whatever they can is good for maintaining development.

If the Linux kernel ever changed to AGPLv3 I would for sure buy one GNU/Linux stable release each year to make up for corporations that would ban Linux from their network due to AGPL3 legal obligations.

corporations that would ban Linux from their network

You can't change the license retroactively. Corporations would likely hard-fork the kernel at the last GPL2 commit and move it to a restricted but compliant access model like Red Hat did.

You can change the license moving forward though it takes a tremendous amount of effort.

Only rich companies have dedicated full time kernel developers. The vast majority literally take full advantage of the fact that the kernel is free (gratis). And any changes they make to the GPL2 kernel is still subject to open source disclosure.

I believe Torvalds has publicly stated that he wouldn't support a move to GPL3, let alone AGPL.

Prob those companies will go back to windows server or freebsd lol.

For the sake of basic security, there should be a lot more corporate adoption of OpenBSD and FreeBSD. Company networks would be a lot more secure than using Linux due to Linux's schizophrenic nature. Ask a full time BSD sysadmin their view on Linux.

Honest question: to what are you referring by "Linux’s schizophrenic nature"?

True, additionally windows server doesn't give them flexibility.

I'm troubled by that literal brick of leaf cards

[–] skulblaka 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My reaction to this whole year tbh

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

The answer to that question: "by never buying a WinRAR bag?"
