And I was just asking yesterday what would you feel if someone evil used your FOSS software: https://lemmy.world/post/16898871

FOSS programmers, what do you think of horrible people using your software? (lemmy.world)
 

I just learned that Nmap is almost GPL except that they revoked the license specifically for SCO group for their SCO–Linux disputes.

This got me thinking, what do open source programmers think of evil companies or horrible people using their software?

Don't get me wrong, FOSS software by its nature can't be controlled or strictly prevented of being used. But in case of companies like SCO, that is a thing that at least can cause them headache and they risk getting into legal trouble. A programmer for example can modify GPL to make so that his software can't be used by Microsoft or Facebook, but it is GPL for everybody else.

Commandline memes (lemmy.world)
 

I found out that this tool http://www.convertlit.com/ provides a program with a funny name. I wonder if there are similar programs with offensive names or puns like this one. For example, I remember reading a fortune output saying something along the lines of

man Why did you get divorced? 
man: Too many arguments.

And of course, there is the cliche touch grass.

Everyone is talking about rm -rf / and damage to storage drives, but I read somewhere about EFI variables having something to do with bricking the computer. If this is possible, then it's a lot more damage than just disk drives.

Yet another reminder that the cloud is just a fancy name for someone else's computer.

Reddit Outlook-style frontend to make you look like you're working while browsing (github.com)
 

I found this old project from 2018 that redesigned Reddit into a frontend similar to Outlook. Would be fun to see this on Lemmy especially since we have a lot of frontends.

What are some good Twitter accounts that you really wish they move to Fediverse? (lemmy.world)
 

For me it's Naval.

Making something for everyone is so much more work than making something just for yourself in c/opensource@lemmy.ml

I'm not sure I'd call it a problem. In the end it's the developers' choice.

Btw, I think this applies in general to opinionated software. Suckless is just a subset of that.

  • Productivity
  • Etc

are there similar communities or Mastodon accounts that you suggest?
