Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    Not only TiVO, IIRC Tecno (the phone company) is in violation of the GPL-2.0 too by not providing device trees.

    Speaking of violators, North Korea is in violation of GPL 2.0 since they didn't provide me the source code of the kernel when I asked for them for it.

    [–] boonhet@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

    Did you get a kernel binary from them? If not, I don't think they're bound to you by GPL.

    I love one of the clauses of gplv3 where if a user does not follow the gpl you may deny them their ability to use it forever.

    Would be funny to strike Nintendo with that. Or any other company that likes suing people work.

    [–] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    Have Nintendo ever used GPL software?

    They use WebKit that uses a rendering engine, JavaScript engine underLGPLv2.1 in the switch.

    [–] loics2@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

    If it's LGPL, it might be ok depending on how they use it

    [–] Ullallulloo@civilloquy.com 1 points 4 months ago

    In other words, it is an authorized copy.
