A question for open source licensing nerds out there: has anyone ever been taken to court over a GPL violation for anything other than the requirements involving the mere availability of source code?

@aeva Funny bit of trivia: that isn't actually violation. The GPL only requires to make the source code available, and only to those you distributed binaries to. It does not require you distribute it with the binaries nor publicly post it somewhere.

They'd only be in violation if someone downloaded the binary and requested the source and it was refused.

@aeva MEBODY

@aeva One more option, because two might be the loneliest number since the number one, but three's either a charm or a crowd, and both sound great!:

@aeva Disappointed at how low Stack Overflow is.

Lots of coders in denial

@aeva Either this game is a high-effort shitpost or one of the most clever phishing schemes I've encountered in a while.

@aeva remember internet time, wish that was actually a thing

@aeva Hear me out. Smart pocket watch on a chain which you keep in your front pocket.

@aeva
You could have a temporary tattoo. Its almost like not wearing a watch. Better yet, noone seems to have pocket swatches.

Somehow The Qt Company is managing to rake in 34.3 million eurobucks a year by threatening to hunt down and brutally dismember GPL violators though, so I guess their methods work.

@aeva For open-source, I recommend using https://github.com/miurahr/aqtinstall to download/install it

@aeva I think Qt handles this really poorly. On Linux, I was able to install it through my package manager without an account, and spent a while developing a program. I have yet to hear of anyone successfully build it on Windows, despite multiple attempts, all due to the Qt installer. I have since abandoned development because of this.

@aeva in a parallel universe, audio software won the interface wars and now all UIs look like this.

@aeva 'cos nobody understands sound

@aeva beep, and furthermore, boop

@aeva because the correct answer is "blue"

@aeva sorry it's defs "blue" I don't mean to be rude

@aeva YES I remember that. And I went looking for it again but now it's not google and just a paid service.

I wish someone else would start that again - that was my favorite form of AI art to play with - altering existing images into psychedelic ones

@aeva literally day 1 ar glasses thing for me to build would be a pixel art filter for reality. Where are the damn glasses already

@aeva I used it for a few projects a couple of years ago. I liked it.

@aeva I used to main Cinder

weird, cinder doesn't seem to have a midi api. oh well

@aeva it would be better if it weren't LIES

(sorry, am in a "going to go live off-grid in the forest" game dev mood)

@aeva Mi computadora es mi amiga

@aeva Computer is a girlfriend 👀

@aeva To be fair it's a good way to illiterate that, they are two very different forms with a lot of texture.

@aeva
Doing things with boolean is almost always fun! :rickhey:

@aeva logical.

@aeva I’m wheezing

@aeva

Reminds me of the fediverse/mastodon terminology issues.

Right now *most* human peoples who don't think a mastodon is a big hairy elephant think it's a social network. Just one. And ALL of us are on it now. Yes even the freaks on misskey, pixelfed, digimon and diglet et al.

We need to take care in choosing the right battle at the right time. Language will expand as more people connect to the fediverse.

(sometimes I call the fediverse "the main network with mastodon and more")

@aeva
As someone who's been using various Linux flavours for years, there is no error here.
@dfeldman

@aeva someone in my IRC channel was totally gushing about it and how “creative”[sic!] it is yesternight and did not want to be educated

@aeva look at us, we're all like geologists now: excited by dumb rocks 😬

@aeva Who is a cutems?

@aeva Tried that, my book ended up looking like a more realistic tree
