AGPL is a full-on FOSS licence with strong copyleft requirements, not a measly open-source licence like Apache, which could be pivoted to proprietary at a moment’s notice. We’re communicating through an AGPL-licensed system right now as it’s what Lemmy’s licensed as. If they were going for a corporate-friendly licence, AGPL is the last thing they’d choose as it forces you to share source code with even more people than the regular GPL does.

AnyOldName3@lemmy.worldto 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•Alternative to PrusaSlicer on Linux/ARM64English1·5 days agoYou might find that your hardware exposes 3.2 features via Vulkan and that if you configure your machine to use Zink rather than native GL, you can get a 3.2 context.
AnyOldName3@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Wikipedia Pauses AI-Generated Summaries After Editor BacklashEnglish17·7 days agoWikipedia management shouldn’t be under that pressure. There’s no profit motive to enshittify or replace human contributions. They’re funded by donations from users, so their top priority should be giving users what they want, not attracting bubble-chasing venture capital.
Like a real powertool, if you unscrew the safety features because you feel they’re getting in your way, they no longer provide safety. Having the guard from a chainsaw in your back pocket does nothing to protect you from the chainsaw you’re holding.

It could just be for opsec, but them having been competent at stopping the BBC seeing whatever it was they were hiding isn’t proof that the thing being hidden was benign.
Variations of this meme get posted every week, but I’ve never experienced it, despite having had tens of grub updates murder-suicide the Windows boot loader and grub itself across five or six different machines. Thankfully, it’s pretty easy to rebuild a Windows boot partition, but the frequency that I’m hit with this problem is one of the major reasons I avoid using Linux. Eventually I’m going to have to switch, but that’s driven mainly by Windows getting worse rather than any of the pain points I’ve had when trying to switch full time in the past having been fixed.
AnyOldName3@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that 'easy' additions and updates are sometimes really hard: 'That's half a year's work. That takes six months'English1·26 days agoThere’s a strong argument that the server architecture needed to be better at launch, but then the game sold more than an order of magnitude better than it was expected to, so no one would have noticed that it scaled badly had the player count been in line with their design and testing.
Sandwich cake is already a term that means the same thing as layer cake. The classic combination of two layers of Victoria sponge with strawberry jam and whipped cream in between is called a Victoria Sandwich. Anyone arguing that a layer cake isn’t a sandwich is just illiterate, not a defender of semantic specificity.
