LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Tuesday, 22-Oct-2024 14:24:25 JST LisPi Honestly, the notion of "gimp" being an ableist name just feels weird to me because it's the kind of word I've /never/ encountered in person. Not that locals aren't racist or ableist, just that it's a specific English term that doesn't exist even with those English-speakers here.
Before fedi whined about it, I always figured it was just a reference to bondage suits. -

It could be pre-emptable and/or autoscheduled based on usage patterns and user policies. -

That is an argument for software decoding in VMs or other high-isolation environments.
It is certainly not an argument in favor of proprietary malware like DRM. -

LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Thursday, 17-Oct-2024 14:39:10 JST LisPi @bot @rysertio You're making a lot of assumptions in that statement.
The main factor that is actually relevant in my case is that I'm uninterested in parenthood. -

LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Wednesday, 16-Oct-2024 05:43:34 JST LisPi @wolf480pl @nytpu @lanodan There are a few packages for repository mirroring.
It definitely doesn't fit on anything except BD-XL discs. -

LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Monday, 14-Oct-2024 13:31:21 JST LisPi @dalias @pkw You can, but that is only because HTML in most browsers has too much access.
The less functional access one gives on a machine, the less attack surface is reachable.
One doesn't need turing completeness to expose too much attack surface. However turing completeness makes it a hell of a lot easier to expose too much surface though, and facilitates nuisances like denial of service & resource exhaustion (still readily feasible without turing completeness). -

Isn't that just yet more software (with a firmware role), with a peculiar physical procedure to update it (depending on the kind, it's not even that involved)? A bit like the BMC on the Talos II. -

LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Saturday, 05-Oct-2024 06:01:37 JST LisPi @Suiseiseki @hj Firmware just represents a particular role of software.
It's not incorrect. -

LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Tuesday, 01-Oct-2024 20:33:15 JST LisPi @Suiseiseki @vulonkaaz Basically, we who care about Free Software have to unfortunately care /somewhat/ about copyright to cover our asses and those of users.
We certainly have no moral approval of copyright. At least, the sane ones among us don't. -

Too many broken countries don't have such a thing, and the alternatives don't focus enough on the importance of the Four Freedoms.
Some creative commons licenses are even non-Free.
> I have no issue with copyright when it is used to uphold one's right to copy things he comes into possession of, or preserve the authors within a derivative work.
"Copyright" is generally a misnomer, it's "copy authorization monopoly". Preserving the right of people to replicate, share, remix and build upon information & art is not its purpose.
I of course approve of the latter. As for preserving the authors(' information & crediting), I do consider that proper crediting is just good etiquette (it can also be useful for later research & whatever that one may undertake).
> For instance when you acquire and modify software that is free, you're under no obligation to share it with anyone.
That is true.
> However, I also believe that free publication of all research should be a component of legal conduct for public scientific and academic institutions, and I don't think pharmaceutical companies should be allowed to operate while marketing proprietary research.
It certainly should be. Privatization of such things which ought to be public commons has been a disaster.
Certainly for any public institutions or public funding, it should be mandatory that the public then benefit of it in its entirety. -

LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Tuesday, 01-Oct-2024 20:33:11 JST LisPi @sicp @vulonkaaz @Suiseiseki > The CC0 license was designed to grant nearest public domain equivalence in jurisdictions that don't have an analogous concept. With public domain the Four Freedoms are neither here nor there with regards to derivative works.
One of the concerns of CC0 is that it doesn't free users from the bullshit of patent interference.
Apache license, among others, handles that.
> However "public domain" is not, which is why I said that instead.
Fair.
> As I understand it the set of Creative Commons licenses were made to cover a large area of issues, and were not intended primarily for software.
I seem to recall similarly. -

That constrains the scope of the story somewhat, though that can still be interesting. -

LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Monday, 30-Sep-2024 14:53:19 JST LisPi @kasdeya @kitsunecafe I'm relatively fond of that Jim Jarmusch quote that starts with "Nothing is original."
Quoth: “Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from - it’s where you take them to."
[MovieMaker Magazine #53 - Winter, January 22, 2004 ]” -
