This hurts a bit.

It also normalizes stretching the meaning of open source. So, when I try to explain that various source available licenses are not open source, I'm fighting against people with major audiences saying otherwise.

(3/3)

First, I love this project and want to build it.

However, I'm going to go 'Old Man Yells at Cloud' on calling it open source and how the maker projects and #3Dprinting may be unintentionally damaging the general understanding of #OpenSource.

a) the model is CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. That is unambiguously not open source: NC means it restricts fields of endeavour.

b) It 'remixes' code without a license from pastebin.

"The point I’m attempting to make is that when a company, built on Open-Source, tries to lock it down, almost always in defence of falling margins and a perceived “ripping off” by others, it fails to re-invigorate the community"

@roadriverrail @djsundog I was also a tg 16 person 😉

From one of the non-Redis Inc leadership team members before the license change:

@csolisr @ThunderComplex probably very little seeing that it was forked before the license change.

That’s how #OpenSearch came from Elasticsearch when similar shenanigans were pulled. They are on their own from this point forward.

(I haven’t played with KeyDB, but the other multithreaded Redis clones or forks substantially changed the dynamics of use, so it might not be a drop in replacement)

@codepope Don't I know it.

I'm having déjà vu from when I had to write this blog post a few years ago.

@ThunderComplex You'd need a law degree to fully understand the parameters in that (and IANAL), but I wouldn't personally fork Redis after the license change.

Welp. It's official. #Redis is no longer #OSS

While I wasn't a contributor to the core, I presented on it dozens of times, talked to thousands, and wrote a book about it.

I probably wouldn't have done any of that with that kind of license.

Very disappointed.

I've spent 81 minutes of my life watching the history of the skull trumpet gif.

I have no regrets.

The story telling skill between these two videos is just legendary.

@jwhevans It's not only engineers. My wife's an academic in her 40s - she nearly refuses to make outgoing calls that aren't prescheduled or to a close family member.

I think we've moved to a point where people see phone calls as highly pressuring on both ends.

I don't mind it as much as others, but looking back on my youth when I just cold-ass called people all that time. It seems super odd now to make someone drop everything and talk to you randomly.

I see this about 5x a day. My dog has personal space issues.

Pretty odd looking print: An #OpenSCAD algorithmically-generated adapter mount for the SKR Mini E3 V3 to fit the mounting holes of the #MachinaResto RAMPs board.

To keep the existing wiring, I’m rotating the new board 22.5° from the old RAMPs setup.

We need a GitHub issue bot that responds to comments about project abandonment/death with this article.
