Yes, they did it first, but they removed it because it wasn't acceptable and everyone hated it

That list is either the undo-menu or the layers themselves, as everything you do in GIMP is somewhat destructive. This behavior will be changed in GIMP 3 tho.

Can ya please go back to the Drop-Down thingy for your license? It's already annoying on its own, but it gets even more so when Voyager adds the Link-Preview

Codeberg / Forgejo has a migration tool that you could use

I kinda want them to buy kagi next. I'd even pay for visionary or whatever they call it

would be really fucking funny tho if they just posted some fake tweets from time to time

is "step in and help review a few PRs" really that helpful? like... oh great, now this one person that i don't trust is telling me that the other person that i don't trust made some code that i should merge

Haven't you heard the news?

Seems like you're right: "In 2020 Pioneer DJ's parent company's name was changed to AlphaTheta Corporation. In March of that year KKR and Pioneer Corporation sold their respective stakes in AlphaTheta Corporation to Japanese holding company Noritsu" (Source)

I think it still belongs to them, but they rebranded to AlphaTheta

You can technically charge for FOSS, but that sort-of collides with the freedom to redistribute the software. You may have heard about that when the whole RHEL/Rocky Linux dispute happened.

Equal shares can also be kind-of unfair if your backend is using sqlx for the entire database communication and then you also use some small image-conversion library to convert the favicon from .png to .ico.

My last point may be a bit confusing, let's try to make it a bit easier to understand: In this case, you are a company, that is directly using a piece of code that is licensed under the license you've been thinking about, and you're also using a piece of proprietary software, e.g. some ERP-Software. The proprietary software is using a FOSS library that permits it to be used in a proprietary binary, let's say because it's BSD-Licensed. How do you know that the ERP-Software is using that library, and how would you determine how much you'd have to donate to them. You kind-of have to donate to them, because your ERP-Software wouldn't run without that library

I know what FOSS means, but it seems like you think a license only needs to comply with one of the rules set up by OSI to be a FOSS license. If you charge your users (corps are also users) licensing fees, then you're discriminating against specific fields of endeavor (users making money using your software). I'd argue you're also interfering with other software projects, as some projects are strictly refusing donations (uBlock Origin as a popular example). As a last point: how would a business know which software it's using and how do you define what project should get how much of their 1% of revenue? If a business is using proprietary ERP-Software, and that is using any random FOSS-Library, then how would that business know that the library is being used and, assuming they found out, how would they determine how much to donate?

Yeah, that's cool and all, but your software isn't FOSS if ppl have to pay to use it... Just license it under the AGPL and call it a day

tbf discord is worse than whatsapp

like... yeah, no shit

Which TLD?

...except for when you produce in Xinjiang

Statistically, the average person has less than two eyes

naw, if that was the case the cpu would throttle to the minimum clock and then shut off after a while (or just keep running at like 100°C)
