The purpose is to learn how to publish code that cannot be used for forking as open source.

.

I have to obligate the folks to choose whether they want to pay me or help me code.

....it was not beneficial to me.

...new to gaining good visibility through open source,

Your entire comment reads as a refute of OPs criticism and an excuse for Meta's actions. If you were agreeing with OPs criticism, you would typically use phrases like "only five years".

And? Why take active steps to stop it from working instead of just stopping technical support? Oh yeah, to get more money.

Strong names are great, but (sometimes) mentioning the type of variable in the name is redundant.

"Monday".length is working JavaScript and does equal 6. No print command afaik though.

Yeah. The maintainer said in their blog post they're looking for a license that lets people read the code but not fork it. Isn't that just standard American copyright?

Edit: Looks like they went with CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 Deed (Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International). So not an open source license and one that CC themselves recommends not using for software.

This blog from the maintainer makes it clear they have no interest in open source other than to advertise their own skills

Preparing for a New Beginning for Floorp

Appreciate you giving credit where credit is due. It is 100% corporate greed.

Kotaku’s editor-in-chief has resigned

I'm more concerned that the company decided it was OK to meld the "From:" line of her email (asking for support) into her profile. If they think that's an appropriate way to handle PII, I don't trust them.

I hate patent trolls, but I will say "it couldn't have happened to a nicer company". I hope they both go broke on legal fees.

Misread that as "cat" and thought I was in for a cute satire, not a boring dystopia.

Thanks for your comment. I usually travel alone and was like "why would anyone subject themselves to AirBNB." I appreciate the context and perspective.

Not at all! I had to use ID.me for unemployment and it skeeved me out too.

Most of the novellas in The Murderbot Diaries are short. If you like the first one, the rest are more of the same. And if you don't, you only invested a little time.

They're working to improve login.gov to support the level of user verification needed for this service, but it isn't there yet. Hopefully next year when tax time rolls around again.

Interesting article! I can't tell from the post, though, is this due to a limitation on bots in Matrix or that no one has invested to make a similar bot for Matrix?

It should be illegal to use an AI in the hiring process that can't explain its decisions accurately. There's too much of a risk of bias in training data to empower a black box system. ChatGPT can lie, so anything powered by it is out.

When I first learned of feline tooth reabsorption, I was surprised! Good on you for taking him to the specialist. It's so hard to tell when their teeth are messy beyond having your vet look at them.

Two of our cats recently had to go to the hospital for biopsies. They're both fully recovered.

The oldest doesn't have cancer -- just a chronic inflammation in his nose we'll have to control with steroids.

The other... they suspect small cell lymphoma. We're still waiting for the results of the second round of tests. He'll start oral kemo if it comes back positive. Prognosis is "a few years of quality life"
