@scottfgray This is so relatable. I have noticed this too when working with AI that they are sometimes just completely incapable of modifying an exiting piece. They get stuck with something and when I ask it to just modify it, it'll just come back 95% same but with a change I did not ask for. It's just frustrating to use.
"People rail about their "rights" without understanding that every right carries responsibilities that need to be observed too, not least of which is to respect others' rights as you would have them respect your own." -- Gene Spafford, 1993 (about Usenet etiquette, not about free software)
> Take a moment here to entertain the supposition that nuclear warheads are legally obliged to include a copy of the MIT license, if they incorporate MIT licensed code in their guidance systems, on board, as they are “distributing” that software to the, err, recipients. As it were.
Restrictions are not the same thing as obligations. Copyleft licenses are not more "restrictive" than permissive licenses, but they do have more obligations. Permissive licenses have obligations, too, such as the inclusion of a copyright notice.
Copyleft is not "restrictive"; it does not discriminate against any field of use, and if it did it would not qualify as free software nor as open source.

@drewdevault I find that paper (I would call it more of an article) to be way too aggressive.
I think the following article describes the flaws and problems with these philosophies a lot better, without lumping them all together and without ad hominem arguments.
@drewdevault good read! Not sure I agree with all their points, in particular I think transhumanism is a mixed bag of beliefs that can be either very good or very bad depending on the particular flavor. But the strong presence of eugenics and other dickishness in TESCREAL/futurist circles is very real and should be treated seriously.
Anyone who cites concern over preservation of property values as justification for any political position deserves to have a permanent state-mandated wedgie at all times
@drewdevault that is one thing that confuses me - all mainstream media I ever consumed presented possibility of real eatate prices falling as some kind of apocalypse scenario without ever presenting an explanation why. I understand why property owners might see it as such, but from the perspective of everybody else?
So hare-unicode's encoded runtime Unicode database clocks in at about 100 KiB and I'm basically fine with that. Some languages get it smaller but whatever, this thing is a massive pain in the ass to deal with
It includes the general category, combining class, bidi class, east asian width, script class, and line break class, and a few flags, for every Unicode character
@drewdevault If you want you can take a look at https://sr.ht/~shurizzle/hare-unicode/ too. It's pretty raw, the code is not good as I want, it has no comments but it works. Thank you for your work on the language
@drewdevault The stereotypical uncomfortable realization with Eva is realizing that you're closer to Shinji that you would have liked. But I suspect as one gets older that gets less common.
@drewdevault I'd be interested in the EUPL, too. Especially in comparison with the GPL/LGPL licences, including any compatibility problems one might encounter.
@drewdevault As a future discussion, concepts and considerations to be aware of when authoring a free software license. Like how would you define free, and what kind of terms would you specify in the current world of software development.

@drewdevault Writing in C?
@drewdevault yeah, do print out a screenshot, in 30 years you will still be thinking about "I needed a break from Real Work" ;)
@drewdevault
Is this separate from Helios?
