That’s how swatting works though. They don’t just call 911 and say “send police to this place” lol.

Please show some empathy for those who are not as tech literate as you are. Elitism doesn’t look good on you, friend.

To prove you are human, a turtle is upside down, or whatever the blade runner test thing was.

I disagree with a few points of that article.

Another misunderstanding of “open source” is the idea that it means “not using the GNU GPL.” This tends to accompany another misunderstanding that “free software” means “GPL-covered software.” These are both mistaken, since the GNU GPL qualifies as an open source license and most of the open source licenses qualify as free software licenses. There are many free software licenses aside from the GNU GPL.

You do too by using the term FOSS instead of FLOSS,

The terms “FLOSS” and “FOSS” are used to be neutral between free software and open source. If neutrality is your goal, “FLOSS” is the better of the two, since it really is neutral. But if you want to stand up for freedom, using a neutral term isn’t the way. Standing up for freedom entails showing people your support for freedom.

The FSF and OSI agree on many of the licenses they approve as being free/open. If you can tell me of any notable differences that aren’t a matter of one of them not commenting on a particular license yet then I’d be open to change my opinion on it.

Regardless, even if you believe the OSD and FSF’s definition of libre software differ, merely having the source available is not enough to meet what the OSD defines as open source. Which is what this conversation was originally about.

I’m just using Gmail lol. I don’t really do anything with email.

I never got around to using WSL for dev stuff, sadly. I was stuck on Windows 7 until December 2019 and have had a Mac for work ever since. For personal stuff I just use the MSYS environment included in Git for windows (it has bash and a few other things). If I ever got a Windows laptop for work again I’d probably put the time in to learn WSL.

These are three super different things that fill entirely different uses. It’s like asking if you should use a car, a boat, or an airplane. If you just wanna mess around then probably VirtualBox unless you only want terminal stuff to mess around, then you’d want WSL.

Open source is synonymous with “free software” as in freedom. Source available is likely what you’re talking about.

I’m not sure if the source is available or not. I remember some talk about it a few years back, but I don’t know what happened. Either way, just because source code is available does not mean it is open source. When I say open source I mean libre.

Notch said the same thing about Minecraft. I’ll believe it when I see it.

If it wasn’t in the experimental stage I’d say openSUSE Slowroll.

I always thought it was that everything was a file but that everything could be interacted with as if it was a file.

Idiot! Just don’t invite them in.

I love love love that Fossil is a single executable.

All in all, the version control wars have ended and git has won. Mercurial is another one I sort of wanna try just to see what it’s like.

Re: rebasing, I think squashing / rebasing (in place of merging) is bad but I am also one of the few people I know who tries to make a good history with good commit messages prior to opening a pull request by using interactive rebasing. (This topic is confusing to talk about because I have to say “I don’t rebase, instead o rebase” which can be confusing.)

I think I looked into this before and it lacked a feature, but I don’t remember what it was. I might be getting it mixed up with another tool. There were a lot of tools that almost worked but were focused on making books with ordered pages rather than a tree. I think gitbook was one.

For folks interested in following in my footsteps, eleventy didn’t fit because it couldn’t convert relative links to markdown files to relative HTML links to the HTML files (out of the box, probably possible with plugins).

This just feels like such an obvious thing there would be a tool for but I can’t find one. Even most editors that render Markdown as a preview can do this out of the box.

My dream is something that can take a stack of markdown files with relative links and generate a static site from them. This is embarrassingly difficult. Right now I think that the GitHub Pages Ruby Gem is the best way but it has too many assumptions about being in a GitHub repository to work. Vanilla Jekyll is nice but I don’t want to deal with a bunch of configs to get the experience I want.

I have my workspace in Google drive synced folder and it’s worked fine.

Ew. They don’t even try to load lol.

It’s capitalized so they may have defined it elsewhere.
