And I was just asking yesterday what would you feel if someone evil used your FOSS software: https://lemmy.world/post/16898871

FOSS programmers, what do you think of horrible people using your software? (lemmy.world)
 

I just learned that Nmap is almost GPL except that they revoked the license specifically for SCO group for their SCO–Linux disputes.

This got me thinking, what do open source programmers think of evil companies or horrible people using their software?

Don't get me wrong, FOSS software by its nature can't be controlled or strictly prevented of being used. But in case of companies like SCO, that is a thing that at least can cause them headache and they risk getting into legal trouble. A programmer for example can modify GPL to make so that his software can't be used by Microsoft or Facebook, but it is GPL for everybody else.

Commandline memes (lemmy.world)
 

I found out that this tool http://www.convertlit.com/ provides a program with a funny name. I wonder if there are similar programs with offensive names or puns like this one. For example, I remember reading a fortune output saying something along the lines of

man Why did you get divorced? 
man: Too many arguments.

And of course, there is the cliche touch grass.

It'd be interesting to find similar one for the Fediverse.

Reddit Outlook-style frontend to make you look like you're working while browsing (github.com)
 

I found this old project from 2018 that redesigned Reddit into a frontend similar to Outlook. Would be fun to see this on Lemmy especially since we have a lot of frontends.

Lemmy Wiki Stuff? in c/[email protected]

Check static website generators: https://jamstack.org/

For hosting: GitHub pages, Codeberg pages, Netlify, Cloudflare pages...

Git-based wikis are the best IMHO.

Since nobody likes calling it X, why don't we call the platform "ex-twitter"? That way it's technically true, and everybody knows what you're talking about. in c/[email protected]

Or just keep it more compact: Xitter.

I feel it's way easier and more rewarding to understand projects at their inceptions before it gets too complicated that only experts could understand.

Ah, the old debate of "display current state" vs "display current action"...
