I think it's important to consider that the GNU General Public License is really only a part of the Free Software Movement, which is "An effort by a group of people to achieve a social or political goal". That movement is defined by a group of people and a goal and has "infrastructure", such as "The Free Software Foundation" ("a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization"). "The idea of the Free Software Movement is that computer users deserve the freedom to form a community", but if you want to accomplish a different goal, it might be useful to clearly communicate that goal to other people to create a different movement (and create new "infrastructure" to support your effort).

Changing only a part of the GNU General Public License might make it incoherent or otherwise a hindrance to your goal in a way that you might not expect. It might be better to focus on talking with other people about a goal of yours, and you might discover that you can be most effective without investing any energy in creating a new license for software, but if you determine that creating a new license is important you can create a comprehensive design for one to match your efforts more closely.

It seems that your goal might be summarized with "I want people to be able to help themselves (using software) without contributing to spreading hate" ("putting a motion in the positive is a rule in parliamentary procedures").

See also "Chesterton’s Lamp-Post" (a suggestion to only start to act when you actually know what you want the final result to be) and "Chesterton's fence" (a suggestion to not change things when you don't know what the final result will be) for some context about what an undesirable design/plan is.

What is an example of "plain-text code", or of someone fainting at the sight of it?

The Java® Language Specification explains that "Programs are written in Unicode", which can reasonably be described as "Plain Text", but I would be surprised to see someone fainting at the sight of one.

I wasn't aware that the idea of a "meat cube" was related to Ukraine before reading this comment.

No body bags? No problem! Just crush your comrades into meat cubes for easy transportation!

I think the joke is that when the chewing gum bubble pops, the person holding the mace will use that as an excuse to smash things.

My response to the body of this post is https://www.privacyguides.org/en/real-time-communication/

This might address the URL of this post (I've never interacted with "iCloud" so I don't necessarily know what would be a good replacement for it): https://www.privacyguides.org/en/document-collaboration/

Doesn't git status tell you what to do?

use "git add ..." to mark resolution

use "git commit" to conclude merge

I always use git status to check what is appropriate before doing anything else, since the right thing to do can sometimes be different, like after using git rebase when a break command was used vs when a squash command resulted in a conflict.

Why is this image censored? This is a famous tweet and is easy to find: https://twitter.com/tiangolo/status/1281946592459853830

This also happens when Republicans have a majority. An example was how long it took to elect a Speaker of the House of Representatives in 2023.

Re-creation of someone else's post because the original was removed and I found it funny when I first saw it

 

This community immediately reminded me of this classic video.

Have fun being able to pay your own rent!

 

I found this website as it was linked from https://nostr-resources.com/#clients which in turn was linked from https://snort.social/e/note1g6numqqhrxlwku6cnwfrxhkrjvytn0dej85uew8gkneyyutgvcdsnm0y7p

I recall that several months ago when I heard about nostr for the first time I didn't find guides on how to post, nor where I could download a client, so hopefully sharing these links will help people onboard!
