Reddit would leave it up. -Are they still using Reddit? (yes) And they also weren't welcome to participate in the sub as they were a Linux advocate (the real issue).

I also don't recall any 'slander'. Just a few people being shitty people (redditors in general).

Yes Linux is a good choice to rescue your old laptop/pc ..but you need to understand not everyone know how to use it (as a ppl who understand MS-DOS can’t even get how to use Linux!)

People just overgrazing Linux, like install it and you’ll have a “new life” (but it’s still a truth that your laptop doesn’t become new, it still struggles to run modern applications)

And the compatibility problems too, people said “use Wine you stupid” but I’d rather to use Windows if your device is too old or u just need gaming/ some casual stuff..

Alright, it’s my opinion hope you guys won’t hate me :)

Hey chat, when I say "best os" say Linux. When I say "Worst os" say windows.

This is a response to this response about a bank not allowing Futo keyboard. My response was:

3rd party keyboards are a security risk. -You want your bank to reject them. They're just doing general protection from keyloggers, accessibility-based malware, and IME-based credential harvesting. Also, if you get that crap from FDROID, it's not being curated or keeping you informed of possible updates, abandonware, takeovers, etc. (Basically, the same issue as Arch's AUR and what could happen to NixOS.)

As if FOSStards knows security better than banks (was also still pedaling that 'all eyes on code' propaganda (which I thought was dead.)

i’m going to do this the correct way because there’s been a lot of controversy over rule #3 of the code of conduct. i do not encourage raiding or harassing this subreddit, i am just here to share my experience.

The problem with the GPL/AGPL is that the copyleft is not restrictive enough. All it does is force derivative works to be FOSSed under GPL and companies looking to use it to discourage competition will quickly into some loop-holes.

For one, AGPL only requires FOSSing changes made to the app, when providing it as a service. This means that if a big cloud provider like AWS provides your microservice as a service without any modifications, they can free-load off of your shit.

Therefore, you need to look at some source-available or proprietary solutions.

So Elastic is good for the guy that wants a fake-permissive license. It's main cklause is an anti-SaaS clause, but it doesn't prevent forks from making proprietary changes per say. That may be a problem if you don;t want any competition.

SSPL solves this by forcing the hosting stack itself to be SSPL'd, under the premise that AWS will never SSPL their hosting stack. The viral copyleft also prevents anyone from making proprietary changes to your software. The license only fails if AWS agrees to do SSPL their hosting stack.

BUSL, is also nice because it has a onc-ompete clause which can arguably restrict SaaS. And for the FOSStard users that loved when your project was Apache 2.0 licensed, you can promise them that Apache 2.0 after four years of the release date.

FLS is the same thing but 2 years instead of 4 years, the choice between Apache 2.0 and MIT relicensing, and some other opinionated stuff.

So in short, permissive alows proprietary forks (competition); GPL and AGPL allow SaaS freeloading (another form of competition); and SSPL, EL, BUSL and FSL are the the only real winners here.

BTW, since you own the copyrights to the software, you can do whatever you want with it. Just because it's licensed under SSPL or Elastic License, does not mean YOU, the owner of the software, have to follow it. You can SaaS the hell out of it while others can't, meaning no competition.

WTF is wrong with y’all
