They won’t merge my code unless I change my code to be GPL.

If you are the author of the code you want to merge, you can double-license it you know. Hand them a GPL license, they'll be able to use your copy under the same terms, while you and everyone else use your current license.

Better to crush their spirit now, before it can be misled by lies; so that it can crash and burn and be reborn in the Fire of the Fox, as a Libre Wolf.

Or, if they prefer a more compact fursona, a Fennec.

True, but neither that nor anything else has stopped republicans and conservatives from pushing crap after crap until it slips in (or rather, is let slip in, given the Supreme Court the US has over there).

So then what are you recommending to connect to the internet? curl? wget? netcat?

Darlin', English, like any language, evolves.

The problem is, Mozilla is not doing that. The ability install xpis is censored (oh the irony) in retail Firefox.

No. Brave is merely Chrome with extra steps. And it's associated with lots of "web3" / crypto scams.

veniasilente , to Technology in Firefox Browser Blocks Anti-Censorship Add-Ons at Russia’s Request

You don’t need one. It is easy to install an xpi in Firefox

[CITATION NEEDED]

The access to install xpis is (irony intended) censored in "retail" Firefox.

People are getting upset about this, but it only applies within the country where Roskomnadzor has authority, and it’s temporary pending further review.

Which means that now, for example, Republicans can file to have any extension that "provides or facilitates woke content". To put forth one (1) such case.

Idiot laws are idiot and must be fought at every point, in particular if you have more power than one (1) mere citizen. What Mozilla is doing is just announcing to the world they're open to spreading their legs before the MAGAs.

Mozilla, as a law-abiding organization, must at least acknowledge the requests of a regulatory agency within its own country.

Insert Nick Fury "I recognize the council has made an ass-stupid decision".

Whether you agree with their requests or not, Roskomnadzor has governmental authority in this context within Russia.

veniasilente , to Mildly Infuriating in I cannot make any post/comment containing the string [slash]etc[slash]passwd on lemmy.world

I can only hope programming.dev of all instances doesn't have this problem!

(Also, I'm really wondering where does this error come from. It can't be, in theory, from lemmy itself, right? One would think user input in posts is sanitized so that it's not used as code, either raw or processed).

veniasilente , to linuxmemes in Toxic linux communities moment:

I mean, if you are already know you're using GCC, knowing to browse the manpage for info is easier.

The problem with manpages is, in my experience, they are vastly ill-suited for the "modern" / desktop-like workflow of the distros. They're point is they're not the tool for that, they are reference manuals focused on the tool, not training pamphlets focused on the use. Like, what is the manpage for "my desktop icons disappeared"? Even assuming there's one. Or for "my desktop is in Italian but my start menu is in Swahili"? Or for "after video driver update and reboot my screen is monochrome"? Heck, for most of those even figuring out a proper info page (the "competitor" of man page) would be next to impossible.

So, there is of course merit to reading the documentation. But for that someone has to first isolate the workflow and write that documentation. I'm not interested in the man page for "steel" or for "lacrimals"; I need the usage pamphlet for "Slicing onions with a kitchen knife".

How about a guillotine? Those don't seem to require a religious belief, only a modicum of trust in the well-studied force of gravity.
