I might have to rethink my stance on " all the way".

Due to the highly scriptable nature of the static site generator that I'm building, site code (or even entire sites) may fall under copyleft, and that's not what I want. I've had a look at the , but for my use case, it still sounds too strict. I'm also not keen on writing my own license exception, and I doubt it'd keep enough protections to make GPLing worthwhile in the first place. So I'm afraid 2.0 is my best bet?

@Merula In this case, the site is built using a config script that practically uses the site generator as a library. If I were to publish that script and my generator was under the GPL, I'm pretty sure I had to publish the script under the GPL as well. And when I publish part of a work under GPL, section 5c of GPLv3 obligates me to GPL the entire work. Since the config script is worthless without the rest of the site, "entire work" could mean all of the site sources.

@Merula It might be a different thing for when the config script isn't published but just the result of building the site, but I'm not sure about that. (And I don't want to discourage people from publishing their site sources 😄)

Who controls the tech stack❓

When choosing a secure solution for your data, this one of the most important questions❗

@Tutanota Where can one find your open source captcha? This sounds interesting!

Lemme get this straight, #BetterHelp helped themselves to $80 out of my account every month for several months while I dealt with undiagnosed #ADHD with no help from them (kinda hard to get treatment when you have to initiate all of the communication and you have raging ADHD). The US FTC sued them and all I get back is $9.70?

Good grief.

OH SNAP, they got sued for selling customer's data TO FACEBOOK. WOW! WHAT A PARAGON OF VIRTUE.

BetterHelp. More like GetShafted.

@RL_Dane WTF they did what?! This is outrageous. Has this affected EU citizens as well? Because (allegedly) transferring health data to advertisers without informed consent is illegal af over here and could result in major fines. That FTC settlement sounds like a joke for what is alleged, especially when you take the size of their parent company into account. And I guess my personal policy of never trusting a company that rolls wide-spread YouTube sponsorships still holds...

@aral A couple of years ago, I attended a software architecture meetup. After the talk, a project manager voiced his criticism of what he just heard, referred to programmers who actually cared about their craft as "artist types" who he thinks are "the worst" and boasted about kicking them out as soon as he spots one. Worst thing is that dudes like this think they're in the right when they say and do stuff like that.

Requirements to put in a job description to discourage or filter out autistic people:

  • Comfortable with ambiguity
  • Strong people skills
  • Good culture fit
  • Multitasking
  • A fast-paced dynamic environment
  • Bachelor's degree or better

I see these things and think you don't want my >30 years of programming and machine learning experience, or my problem-solving skills and comprehensive knowledge that had people mistaking me for one of the team's PhDs, or my solutions that have proven patent-worthy. Your loss.

@hosford42 There are sooo many job ads that require "X years of experience" for even entry-level positions, and they expect that people exaggerate their own experience in order to be even considered.

@jhx@fosstodon.org avatar

I'm a little torn with my daily driver setup currently.
So far, I use a Ryzen system for my daily tasks.
Or better: Call it endless procrastination about what to drive on the desktop.... mentally stuck right now.

I do not need much. Web surfing, programming, reading and some retro games.

Contemplating if switchung over to my laptop full time.

Yes, the Ryzen can game modern games... but I kinda lost interest in that.

How would you guys decide?

Running #Debian and #FreeBSD

@jhx I switched to laptop + USB-C docking a couple of years ago and so far I'm mostly happy with it. I'm running Debian 12 on an Elitebook 845G7 (Ryzen 7). It's decently powerful for everything I need. What's a bit annoying is that I sometimes need to connect multiple times before the monitor and attached USB devices are all detected (no idea what causes this). Other than that, everything works pretty well and I enjoy not having to sync files between two machines any more.
