And who is requiring you to use windows? Previously it was just societal expectations but apparently it’s not that anymore. Who is cracking the whip to force you to use windows?

Plenty of people just don’t have the brain capacity to read settings or multitask and that’s fine. If that works for them, good for them.

So by your definition going to the dentist is slavery? After all society expects you to go, and there are terms and conditions.

Nah no breaking changes, can’t be updates.

Lxqt?

That’s the beauty of gnome: they don’t give a single fuck if you like it. You can return the favor.

I remember when kde looked like xfce and yeah back then it was buggy. Today it looks like a slightly jank windows 7 but with the giant buttons and curved corners that characterize 2015 software.

Most of the bugs seem to come from Wayland still being vaguely trashy and kde not having fully migrated from xorg

Comparing freely using a product to slavery is truly the most privileged techbro thing I’ve seen.

Comparing switching from windows to another piece of software to being a refugee is truly the most privileged techbro thing I’ve seen in a long time. Well, since mid January at least.

For what use case?

This can happen.

The flip side is noone uses it. I’ve never worked at any company that allowed even lgpl code to be used. If it has a commercial license we’ll buy it, if not…find another tool.

Lawyers are terrified of gpl and will do anything to avoid going to court over it, including forcing you to rip code out and do a clean room rewrite.

Or on the flip side, they want usage to be pervasive so they win. I mean come on man it’s like “move this file” and “make this directory”.

these applications aren’t rocket science and providing them under a license that people will use outside of the hardcore Linux space is just good marketing.

Still not worse than the simple act of having to use gnome for longer than it takes to install something, anything else

What the fuck is wrong with your brain?

Rust isn’t language of the month unless you’ve been asleep for a decade, old man

What about the rust version is closed source?

This whole post is very disingenuous.

Edit: oh you’re a troll

It’s funny since don’t these core utils come from bsd meaning the new license is more like the original license than gpl is like either. So didn’t gnu effectively steal the code and change the license for political reasons?
