    Looking at arguments why this isn't FOSS the most promising one seems to be article 9 of the OSI definition and DSFG (turns out those are pretty much the same). "9. License Must Not Restrict Other Software - The license must not place restrictions on other software that is distributed along with the licensed software. For example, the license must not insist that all other programs distributed on the same medium must be open-source software." But you could also argue that they're only forcing something on somewhat linked software so it's in the same vein as the GPL.

    So it seems Mongo are trying to do something similar to the Commons Clause except that they're smart enough to make a license that quite arguably is still FOSS (it's not officially judged yet but their arguments as to why it is still FOSS seem valid). Roughly their license says that if you offer something that effectively resells Mongo as a service you need to supply the proprietary bits of that service as well.

    Ayricle on the internet "Why do we say Mastodon instead of Fediverse?". Because you're blocking most on the non-masto nodes. I'll go get my coat.

    I hate games that do a bait and switch saying they're free but after you sign up it's "oh, to be able to do <important features X, Y and Z> you need to donate". That's possibly even worse than the usual "donate to gain godlike powers" crap.

    News about nobel prizes seems to be mostly that for the first time in 55 years a woman won it again. That lady must be thrilled that her entire achievement has been reduced to her gender. At least with men they usually say what they got the prize for.

    http://antirez. com/news/122 (again, remove spaces in url) Nihil sub sole novum. Disagree with me, I'm going to call you a fascist even though your family suffered under the fascists. Protip: don't toss around the word nazis willy-nilly in countries that suffered under the Nazis (and yes, that includes Germany, plenty of Germans in the camps) and fascist in countries that suffered under fascism.

    The 8087 chip co-processor approach is at the same time interesting and horrifying. Because the only communication between the processors is through main memory there were subtle race conditions where, if I understand correctly, if you weren't careful you could write a float to a value, read it as an int and depending on DMA timing would get either the old or the new value. I had always understood strict-aliasing as purely a performance feature but reading about this makes me suspect the C standard made it undefined behavior because under certain circumstances using a float pointer as an int pointer gave actual unpredictable results on the hardware.

    It's slightly amusing but kinda terrifying how many people agree with attacking a perfectly reasonable post on the basis that it's "disrespecting" the post it reacts to by pointing to some books the author ought to read that refuse their arguments.

    Note that for all I've heard of Alex Jones he's a real piece of work and sometimes crosses a moral line in my book. But I'm pretty firmly of the belief that action that effectively denies someone the ability to speak to people who are willing to listen should be the result of laws and regulations subject to judicial review and preferably the result of a specific court case.

    A thought. It is hereabouts (EU) considered a very bad thing if companies who's combined market share is a significant part of the total market cooperate to the detriment of the consumer. Accepting as a premise the notion that an online social media provider such as Twitter has the right to ban people from using its services as it pleases just as a company has the right to set prices as it pleases does it not make sense to think of a coordinated move to deny people access to a platform as an equally undesirable analogue to classical pricing cartels? That is, if all major social media companies cooperate to deny platform to a single user should not other rules apply than for a single non-monopoly platform?

    @camoceltic For a while now Mozilla not only jumped the shark but set up an entire theme park with hourly shows of it jumping a basin full of sharks.

    I know it's silly but when I hear Pence announcing a Space Force all I can think of is building a wall in space to keep out illegal aliens. :P

    Finally got around to compiling Star Ruler 2, which went surprisingly smoothly for a program that doesn't have a configure step (i.e. only Makefiles). Ran the tutorial, the game seems to contain quite a few interesting concepts like planets importing resources from other planets in order to grow. Something tells me before long this will be one of the big games in Linux distros.

    @maiyannah As a rule of thumb a claim by an individual or group that it is X implies that it is ~X.

    Perhaps it's wrong to think of FOSS meritocracy as assigning value. It's really more about trust. Do I trust that acting on the advice of this individual will make the code better abd not worse?

    ICANN goes to the courts to preserve their ability to publish personal data of people who have the audacity to register a domain (by forcing a German registrar to keep publishing PD). Uh, nope. Not gonna work. They're essentially trying to force a German company to disobey German law. Law that they've been told time and time again by the people in charge of enforcing said law that WHOIS is breaching.

    OpenPGP vs Signal: I agree that PGP could be massively improved upon, but a centralized system like Signal ain't it. It does show however how you can achieve practical improvement on a wide scale: by making crypto hard to not use.
