  • The fediverse already has a mechanism to guard against some corporation coming in and taking the code from a platform and building a commercial product on top of it - defederation. We don’t need GPL to “protect” us from anyone here

    I disagree. The reason GPL works is that legal action (Such as from GNU foundation or EFF) deters bad actors.

    The fediverse already has a mechanism to guard against some corporation coming in and taking the code from a platform and building a commercial product on top of it - defederation.

    Defederation only helps the corporations: When the corporation comes in, overwhelms the fediverse with their huge network of active instances and then defederate, the only ones holding the bag are the open intances. . It's much easier for a private corporation to get numbers to defederate and come out on top than for open source enthusiasts.

    However, there are also many that want to be recognized (financially) for their work. GPL ignores the latter.

    If you want to be financially recognized for building on top of other people's open source projects then you should write proprietary code. You shouldn't be allowed to take open source works freely and call the entirety your own. MIT doesn't prevent that from happening. GPL prevents that from happening.

    I don’t believe that is the case any more

    It's actually really important in the long run. There can never be true open source without GPL or similar legal licenses.

  • Math people don't have time to delve into modular code with the right amount of encapsulation/abstractions. Their money making is via testing hypotheses by constructing models and experiments.

    If you want good code look at people making money writing code.

  • There is such thing as being the annoying ass that goes around doing outrageous shit and wants attention.

    If you want clicks just show your genitals online. distracting Joe Shmoe who is struggling to maintain motivation between reps by flaunting your bits is NOT cool.

  • If so then she has to present her hypothesis, model, constants and variables in her model, observations taken at intervals in the gym, and a graph with clearly labelled x and y-axes; eventually ending with a conclusion of whether this set of observations proved or disproved her hypothesis given the model.

    Otherwise she's just goofing around trying to get views.

  • I think the credibility of the argument that "it's not easy to just lose weight" goes down when the contenders for solutions are "more pills" vs. "Lifestyle change".

    Its always better to try the non-pill option before deciding the pills are needed. American policies and support structures need massive overall. Even things that seem totally unrelated like more mixed use and walkable city Zoning policies will make Americans more active and less dependent on meds.

  • A router of industrial scale which i see at work has its ports to be l3 ports by default. They don't down the network as the router rejects config where two ports are given the same subnet.. at least the ones i operate at work.
