@reidrac thanks for the correction. They were driving force when I last involved in #Scala, and with Jonas Bonér and Odersky at (then) Typesafe Inc.

@michal

Thank you! ?

Knowing the name I could find it in Settings / Accessibility / Repeat Keys.

Though after some tweaking it is still not what I am used to from my old laptop (there's some overshooting still), it is much better than the default settings.

@edumerco
The "tragedy of the commons" those works deal with seem to me to be dominated by managing rivalrous goods and lack treatments to deal with non-rivalrous situations like software without eliminating their essential freedoms. I would be fascinated to see a treatment that properly considers non-rivalrous goods. Do you have any pointers?

@humanetech

@humanetech

It is interesting that the so called "tragedy of the commons" is really "the tragedy of the lack of Commons" since in the case of a real, alive Commons, they would have cared together the common resource.

This can be done with strategies as "pool, cap and divide up" or "pool, cap and mutualize", or "pool and share" any of other many existent possibilities as they been doing for millennia before capitalism even existed.

@trwnh so its usb-let's-c ?

@webmink

Btw, great blog you are running ?

@webmink

"Our lawyers created a unique legal situation without prior jurisprudence that you probably need a lawyer for to properly understand its real implications. But we know you probably won't do that"

#AskFedi in #Ubuntu 22.04 I have this ultra annoying thing with character selection, where there's an accelerator to how fast it selects chars. (Same annoying thing you have on some #Android devices when you hold Delete and suddenly all text is deleted in one fell swoop)

Anyone know how to disable that?

#Gnome Tweaks doesn't have a setting, regular Settings neither. And I don't even know the name of this 'feature' to search on it on the web..

@pixelcode ah, way better. I may have been one morning coffee away from typing that :D

@webmink that is a nice summary. Thanks. Will bookmark that.

@pixelcode yeah, you probably right. I just make the definition from a bit radical FOSS perspective.. could've nuanced or mentioned it is a 'non-open-source' model according to the FOSS definition of what that entails. I don't know if all the different variations and flavours that are 'almost' FOSS are helping or hurting the community.

@humanetech that said: They can do that, for sure. It is legal and I don’t see reason to complain. You cannot trust a project to stay free if it is licensed without copyleft or requesting that you assign them your code without guaranteeing that it stays free.

I think people don’t take the license of projects they use seriously. The license allows such relicensing.

Use a copyleft-licensed project with outside contributors if you want the project to stay free.

@humanetech it’s basically a cc by-nc? https://www.draketo.de/light/english/politics/free-culture-danger-noncommercial

NC covered works trick people into investing in a dead end

HN discussion:

#Lightbend (driving force behind the #Scala programming language) is making #Akka actor-based programming model a proprietary project.

They are moving from #Apache 2.0 to Business Source License (BSL) v1.1

> Sadly, open source is prone to the infamous “Tragedy of the commons”, which shows that we are prone to act in our self-interest [..]

They call their new model 'Sustainable Open Source'

> This means that companies using the software for profit need to give something back

so: Proprietary

@humanetech I’m sure that they are very careful. My worry is that they may drive the ethical source idea that excludes only use in free licensed works, so it would reverse the dynamics of Free Culture and actually give only proprietary works a huge advantage (without giving legal certainty, because there will always be some religion you insult — and be it kopimism: https://kopimistsamfundet.se/english/ ). @pluralistic @glynmoody @fsfe

@xavavu @teledyn

Might then also have a peek at the latest iteration of the #Hubzilla project, which is #Streams developed by Mike McGirvin on #Codeberg. It has many federation features that go beyond the capabilities of #ActivityPub (nomadic identity being just one of them).

https://codeberg.org/streams/streams

Other than that reminder that I co-maintain 3 #Fediverse related #delightful lists at https://delightful.club that are quite up-to-date in listing fedi-related projects. May offer inspiration.

@teledyn what's an agency hub? Like a record label type of thing? How many people would you invite?

Depending on scale you could use.

- An SSG
- An email list
- ??? Calendars the harder one.
