I envy the folks who don't understand the reference.

sugar_in_your_tea ,

And yet, if someone asks, I will link it. I'm not proud of it, but I am helpful to a fault.

Migmog ,

Software now has some kind of gendered avatars? This is all very very confusing.

tbf that is the exact image I have of whoever made the original gnu+linux post without the alpine comeback

99% of the [thing]_official accounts on tumblr aren't real, they're just people pretending to be official accounts at varying levels of commitment.
the post popular one is probably osha-official who committed so hard they got a misdemeanor for impersonating a US Governmental service

udon ,

Actually, it's GNU/unkempt, bearded man

potentiallynotfelix ,

All that to say, alpine should probably stay on servers

lemmyvore ,

You can use Alpine on a desktop fairly easily.

potentiallynotfelix ,
waitmarks ,

it should probably stay in docker containers

woelkchen ,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

As long as it stays off the Formula 1 race track!

deltapi ,

Why?

potentiallynotfelix ,

Not having GNU as a compiler isn't always a positive, cause it can break some things, like appimages for example. If an appimage is compiled with GNU it won't run without some translation layer or something.

Konstant ,

Alpine is a woman?

HStone32 ,

Its a copypasta.

Yeah her real name is Belle Alpine

Meanwhile I: "What's GNU?"

bingbong ,

Nothing much, what's GNU with you?

ransomwarelettuce ,

Take my upvote and kindly get out. Please.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot ,

Not UNIX.

It just replaced GNU parts. It's a classical Theseus ship dilemma. It's still GNU.

state_electrician ,

What? If you replace Windows with free alternatives, it's still Windows? You still owe Microsoft money?

blind3rdeye ,

I'm sure Microsoft would be supportive of that point of view. And with their wealth and lobbying power ... ... Lets not mention it again, and hope for the best.

umbraroze ,

I'm suddenly having flashbacks of the whole SCO fiasco. And people older than me probably have flashbacks of the BSD/System V lawsuit.

I mean, this thing is fun to argue about, until you remember people used to argue about this in court.

OP I love your display name <3

nicknonya OP ,
@nicknonya@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

oh! i forgot about that, thanks!

MilitantVegan ,

The alternatives to the GNU tools are largely permissively licensed, yeah? What could possibly go wrong with that..

nickwitha_k ,

...People who wanted to donate their software to the public with no strings attached could see an uptick in the number of users?

MilitantVegan ,

The number of users being those who would rather leverage the software for free, and then resell a walled garden version with proprietary extensions.

woelkchen ,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

If the proprietary extensions don't add significant value, nobody would buy it in the first place.

nickwitha_k , (edited )

That's the beautiful thing about gifting software with permissive licenses (when one wants to): it's a gift and anyone can do whatever they want with it for free.

ETA: I DO think that it is important for one who chooses to license software permissively to be informed about their decision and its implications. But, just like consent in other areas, as long as one enters into it intentionally and with the understanding of what the license means, it's noone's place to judge (and, like consent in other interpersonal areas, the license can be revoked/modified at any time - with a new version). Honestly, really weird of those that take issue with individuals choosing to gift their software to humanity - there's way more interesting and useful things to engage in in the FLOSS landscape.

woelkchen ,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

People making those comments don't realize that much of the desktop Linux stack is MIT/BSD licensed anyway. It's also not like those "permissive licenses bad" people would delete all such licensed software from their system because the result would be unusable.

woelkchen ,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

LLVM and Clang make massive strides over GCC thanks to its license. If it weren't for many of the infamous "GNU'isms", GCC would have dies years ago.

Uhm actually you mean ligmaballsnux

AVincentInSpace ,

Face it, Linux is just the kernel. You use systemd as your operating system.
