Please precede it with “Heath!”

That’s part of what I picked as a teaser:

Start with what the GPL actually prohibits. It does not prohibit keeping source code private. It imposes no constraint on privately modifying GPL software and using it yourself. The GPL’s conditions are triggered only by distribution. If you distribute modified code, or offer it as a networked service, you must make the source available under the same terms. This is not a restriction on sharing. It is a condition placed on sharing: if you share, you must share in kind. The requirement that improvements be returned to the commons is not a mechanism that suppresses sharing. It is a mechanism that makes sharing recursive and self-reinforcing. The claim that imposing contribution obligations on users of a commons undermines sharing culture does not hold together logically. The contrast with the MIT license clarifies the point. Under MIT, anyone may take code, improve it, and close it off into a proprietary product. You can receive from the commons without giving back. If Ronacher calls this structure “more share-friendly,” he is using a concept of sharing with a specific directionality built in: sharing flows toward whoever has more capital and more engineers to take advantage of it. The historical record bears this out. In the 1990s, companies routinely absorbed GPL code into proprietary products—not because they had chosen permissive licenses, but because copyleft enforcement was slack. The strengthening of copyleft mechanisms closed that gap. For individual developers and small projects without the resources to compete on anything but reciprocity, copyleft was what made the exchange approximately fair. The creator of Flask knows this distinction. If he elides it anyway, the argument is not naïve—it is convenient.

They’ve stuck in my memory like a red-hot poker ever since they brutally crushed, at Hilary Clinton’s behest, the Arab Spring color revolutions, also instigated by former Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton. I hope Iran neutralizes Bahraini leadership.

Marjoram and thyme, maybe bay leaves in white meat/pork dishes.

I hope every comprodor leadership in the Gulf are forced to drink the same water as everyone else.

This really wasn’t on my bingo card for opening of the water wars.

It took longer than I thought it would, tbh

threadiverse fediverse needs a tiny push.

I was waiting for them to get it, but you know…

Are there babies buried at their golf courses?

I get that a lot of things are fucked up there from economy to freedoms, but boy that’s nowhere close to what the US/Palestine occupiers are trying to do to them.

No

It was somewhere in the middle of DMing with someone who had forgotten more about Greenland than I would ever know and someone who lived close to an RAF base in the UK that it clicked. This was what they had been talking about. Actual human beings were able to find each other and ask direct questions without this giant mountain of bullshit engagement piled on top of it. Meta or Oracle or whoever owns TikTok this week couldn’t stop me. I never expected to find my news from strangers on a federated social network that half the internet has never heard of. I never expected a lot of things. But there’s something quietly beautiful about a place where people just… share what they know. No brand deals, no engagement metrics, no algorithm nudging you toward rage. Just someone who spent twenty years studying Arctic policy posting a thread at 2 AM because they think you should understand what’s happening. It’s the internet I was promised in 1996. It only took thirty years and the complete collapse of American journalism to get here.

I think that’s a very intentional feature, brought by the techbros who urge kids to skip uni.

Every single billionaire (ETA and techbro), regardless of age, and their children and grandchildren should be on the front lines.
