    Yes I believe him, dressed up like a member of The Specials (maybe sax 🎷 player?), and those punk rock skateboarder Vans that he's sporting with the suit.

    Even the Sex Pistols were bankrolled merely to showcase their manager Malcolm McLaren's clothing boutique at 430 King's Road in London.

    One of my exes was a pre Goth death metal chick with relatively short pink hair and that pasty white corpse like makeup in a different, classy lingerie ensemble everyday of the week ( It helped that she worked at Frederick's on Hollywood Blvd).

    If what John Waters is quoted as saying has any weight (and I believe he's spot on) it's that the antisocial movement of the previous decade will be largely found to be insignificant and forgotten because they had no particular and unique fashion sense of their own to remember them by.👋💀

    My usual caveat: I hate what my country is doing to its own people as well as to people around the world. This should be a day of reflection and resistance, not celebration. That said, I think tall ships and France’s gift statue are very cool, so I went down to Valentino Pier in Brooklyn this morning to capture some shots of both. (More photos in the comments.)

    Yup. And some time ago too, I might add. The ability to take what works so well and complicate it to the point of absurdity never ceases to amaze.

    #Margaret_Hamilton put two men on the moon with 4K of memory. 8K if you're counting the additional RAM on the Columbia's #AGC.

    Well if you ever figure out how to lookup your NIC-HANDLE, as they're officially called (or rather, were), I'm BT-74 👋🤠

    Yeah, that goes back to the days of "Direct Assignment" when #SRI also operated under the auspices of NIC.DDN.MIL.

    Welcome to the club of unhappilly disenfranchised #NIC_handles 😥

  6. I think, for me, much like EDLIN, it's pretty much always been a matter of knowing that it was the default editor available in every incarnation of #UNIX and #Linux since, ... I dunno, ... 4.2BSD or so?

    Perhaps I should say
    vi, and in DOS I don't really recall when EDIT.COM supplanted #EDLIN, but do feel free to checkout my friend's more modern #FREDLIN in the link above. h/t to @dheadshot for creating a POSIX interpretation of that classic utility from the days when disk drives talked to you and diskettes shimmied...

    Also, These
    #Vim memes are some of the funnest elbows to the ribs of the person sitting next to you we can all enjoy together... unless, unless, Oh my gawd am I on Drugs?

    Here's another one for folks to add to their collections, for foshizzles and giggles, of course, and we all can haz
    #Cheezburgerz! 🍔

    Kindest regards, and thank you for some of the very best cookbook style
    #tuts, #HowTo's, and introspectives for the UNIX / Linux / FOSS world on the Internet :)

  7. @smallcircles @neil Are we really discussing this now? And Is it the FOSS project you know that I'm thinking of? 🙂

    I've been mired in the issue tracker lately, but I've only got so much time to spend.

    Here's my take. MIT and BSD licenses are nice but subject to capture, and designed to work in a world that was generally without patent trolls in a sharing, institutional education environment.

    Scientists share - corporations rip you off, injecting proprietary closed sourced code into MIT licensed code they don't have to show you (a mere copyright notice stating that the product contains at least some freely licensed code will suffice in satisfying the licensing terms)... And if there's a novel "process" involved (i e., federating capabilities) they patent YOU and YOUR COLLEAGUES work for themselves.

    A few years back, I was stunned to find out that #Microsoft was receiving about $7 from every single #Android device shipped for #patents they hold related to Linux.

    But again, I digress...

    Okay...

    Basically, and for my part, I say "Copyleft", in the most general terms, and if it's software that is well suited as a self or commercially hosted SaaS offering environment, then #AGPL - but then, that begs your question: AGPL v3 or later, or AGPL v3 only?

    Yes, if you say, "or later", then you run the risk of unfavorable licensing at some point in the future, but that's not a certainty.

    But it is a constant, distinct possibility. Always has been.

    Being a pain in the ass to go from "3 only", or to "or later", or to some other constraint is an inconvenience - that's all. Time, labor, money. That's pretty much it when it comes to re-licensing. That cost goes down if #CONTRIBUTING.md specifies that contributors agree to the project re-licensing their contributions under some other #Copyleft license at some point in the future.

    To answer the rest of your question, I'mma just gonna get all #Socratic on you...

    1. ) Do you trust #RMS and the #FSF? - that used to be the question to ponder, because you were actually assigning control to them.

    2. ) What would #Linus do?

    Actually, what did Linus do?

    He chose #GPL v2 a long time ago when he re-licensed the #Linux kernel.

    He also chose GPL v2 "only" - and you can search on #PeerTube for videos that have him explaining why, and further, why he is happy that he didn't choose, "or later", and how he feels that, in retrospect, that would have been a very bad thing.

    So here's my 2¢, and I've already expressed this in my typical "IMNSHO" fashion a couple of times before in the project's Matrix room (if we're talking about the same project), but I'll give it again here one more time.

    A.) Do it now, rather than later, or do it yesterday if that's possible yet (you may need to consult H.G. Wells or Einstein in that regard).

    B.) Use a Copyleft license - specifically, I'm advocating for AGPL - but as long as it's Copyleft, preferably AGPL v3, my immediate concerns are alleviated. Whether that's "only", or "or later", that's of very little import AFAIC.

    C.) Ensure that CONTRIBUTING.md states that the project is at liberty to contribute patches to the deprecated, antecedent project in the form of patches gifted to them under the terms of the MIT license - after all, we want to be good neighbors and software stewards in the #FOSS space

    I've already discussed the simplicity of doing so in chat and consensus was roundly in favor with this approach, and also in doing it now.

    D.) Hard fork now.

    Finally, there had been much concern expressed from several of the other project members that we're going to suffer recruiting issues by not being able to insure to potential new contributors that their efforts won't be subject to #corporate or #special_interest or #trademark lobby #capture, where they could likely see their blood, sweat, and tears released as #closed_source #proprietary products, until such time as we do re-license under a Copyleft license.

    I hope that helps! 🙂

    And you should return the favor by never posting unsanitized Twitter links to the #Fediverse either 🙂

    I recommend you do a search for "IndyWeb POSSE" program. Which explains the philosophy behind only posting Fediverse links into the deprecated legacy silos, and never posting unsanitized links from places there like twitter into the Fediverse.

    Basically, you do a disservice posting links in the Fediverse that lead people to the very monolithic, privacy disrespecting silos that they've already left behind.

    Instead, if you even bother to use those deprecated legacy silo systems, post links bringing the people there at places like twitter to content that exists here in the Fediverse, thereby providing incentives to create accounts on Fediverse platforms like #Friendica, #FunkWhale, #MicroPub, #Mitra, #PeerTube, #Pixelfed, #Pleroma, #Soapbox, #Quanta, Etc., Thereby joining the Fediverse 👍

    If you find that you really must post a link leading to one of the deprecated silos, then please consider #sanitizing such links. i.e., in the case of Twitter, you can use the very popular #Nitter by just replacing the "twitter .com" with "nitter .net" in the URL.

    If you're on #Android, #Fedilab does this "automagically" for you if you have safe posting enabled.

    If you're on desktop, there's a whole list of similar sanitation tools you can use for #Reddit, for example, by changing the domain in the URL to #Teddit .net and similar tools for #InstaSPAM, #Quora, and many others too. For #YouTube, you can use #Invidious.

    A long list of these privacy protecting utilities is provided at:

    pussthecat.org/

    And you can install Fedilab from F-Droid too:

    Fedilab.App

    You can also install the #UntrackMe app at F-Droid for generating safe links when not posting to the Fediverse - desks details are at three Fedilab website above.

    I hope that helps!

    He's just taking out the trash right now. A lot like Castro did in the 70's.

    That will all eventually settle down, with the majority of those participating in the knee-jerk reaction of the #mob_mentality eventually returning...

    They've been subjugated as the downtrodden and insignificant chattel of those deprecated, privacy disrespecting, legacy monolithic silos. The #addiction is strong within them and they've been #assimilated by the prettiness of the #Darkside, lolz.

    Many will however, choose to stay, enjoying the unbroken promises of #freedom and safety from being weighed, measured, butchered, packaged, and placed into inventory on the shelves of #Faceplant, #Twatter, #InstaSPAM, and other #deprecated_legacy_silos.

    Many more will remain here while at the same time cave to the sinister beckonings of those evil mistresses, but at least they'll have one foot 🦶 here in the pasture of green 💚

    For those of us that have been in this free space for the past 5 or 6 years, all we can do is welcome them back from the #Borg Collective and try to support their best inclinations as best we can.

    The ultimate test of their commitment to protect the ownership of their #intellectual_property, privacy, and #identity is a matter they will ultimately have to decide the importance of for themselves.

    Ask the best!

  11. Here's a quick reference, what one might call a simple **cheat sheet**, that makes it easy to look up what I refer to as, "link sanitizers", to help keep other people safe from the deprecated legacy silo systems than engage in the types of data mining operations that disrespect and resell your #privacy.

    https://pussthecat.org/#services

    Another breach I recently posted about, that several hospitals in the midwest, involving 30 million patients through **Meta Pixel**, reinforces just how crucial it is to safeguard and retain ownership of your personal data.

    I hope you find these simple to use resources useful, and remember too, that there are tools like #Fedilab and #UntrackMe, available at F-Droid that automate these safety precautions.
