@ntnsndr If you sent it, then presumably you already have it. Likewise, the list doesn't send an email to people listed directly in the To: or Cc: fields, but cause the original sender already sent it to them; it'd just clutter up their inbox with multiple copies of the same email.
That said, GNU Mailman has a user setting if you do want to receive copies of emails it thinks you already have.
@lxo And I'm sorry about misleading that Perens wrote about right to use before RMS did. At the time I was just stupidly over-confident, but glad to know that Cunningham's law still works :)
Issue 1 (Feb 1986) through Issue 20 (Jan 1996) have a definition with just "two specific freedoms". In Issue 21 (July 1996) that became "three specific freedoms". It remained 3 freedoms through the final issue, Issue 24 (Mar 1998).
Historical note: If I'm not mistaken: Bruce Perens put freedom-to-use (non-discrimination against persons, groups, or fields of endeavor) in the DFSG (1997-07-05) *before* RMS added freedom 0 to the FSD (some time between 1999-02-24 and 1999-04-30). #FreeSoftware
wth is #Mastodon doing that stops #Firefox's Ctrl-F from being able to find text in boosted posts? #WebDev
I'm curious about bot the "why" (because why in the world is that desirable), but also the "how" (I didn't realize there was a way to get Ctrl-F to ignore text--it is plain text in a <p>, not an image or obfuscated).
I had a great time at #LibrePlanet, hanging out with @amerl, @jxself, @lxo, Bob Proulx and others; meeting fellow #Parabola :parabola: contributor Bill Auger in-person for the first time, and getting to chat with several Parabola users!
@lxo 2029 is when Reese and the Model 101 came back from; but that's years after Skynet took over (J-Day).
In the first movie J-Day was at least 2021 (Reese says that he served "under Perry, from '21 to '27"). I feel like there as an even earlier date given, but I'd have to re-watch the movie to be sure.
In the second movie, it's revealed that Reese told Sarah that J-Day is Aug 29th, 1997; but I don't think the first movie included that scene.
I think lumping together study+modify is kinda awkward, but I also think distinguishing between "share unmodified" and "share modifications" is important. (At one point in my life, I could have told you off the top of my head software that granted one or the other, but that has long ago leaked out of my head)
Waiting for FSFLA to do the sensible thing and declare that there are actually 5 freedoms: - use - study - modify - share unmodified - share modifications
Given some of the people I follow on here, I'm kinda surprised that I've not seen anyone outraged that the FSFE's formulation of the 4 freedoms is slightly different than the FSF's formulation of the 4 freedoms.
| FSF | FSFE | |---------------------|---------| | run | use | | study, modify | study | | share unmodified | share | | share modifications | improve |
@lxo All the things you said are true. But there's a strong vibe from the community that if you use nonfree software you should feel bad about it. The user who reluctantly accepts using a specific nonfree program because they need it for their job, or because the Free alternatives are just worse or maybe don't even exist... that user has nothing to feel bad about; but our community often tells them they do. Meanwhile, many of even the most zealous of us take day jobs writing nonfree (1/2)
