我妈:冲的下去也会影响楼下的水管

我爸:那又不要紧的

我妈:不可以的

我爸:我知道了(下次还敢)

"What I most admire about your art, is your universality," Einstein said to Chaplin. "You don’t say a word, yet the world understands you!" "True. But your glory is even greater!" he told the physicist. "The whole world admires you, even though they don’t understand a word of what you say." - anonymous wordsmith.social/protestation/…


Quotes

  • Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

@EvolLove @cjd

He's mostly criminal.
Legally, an emergency use authorization cannot be approved, if there's an effective treatment or prophylactic. There were billions of $ at play for the vaccine. This along with the potential to damage Trump and excercise power over people were powerful motivators to "forget" contrary information.
I would place a huge bet that some of those billions now belong to him.
And being able to let out his small man complex brought him a sick joy.

Five Palestinians martyred, several others injured in an Israeli airstrike targeting displaced civilians near the Falujah market, west of Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza english.almanar.com.lb/2410850
in reply to Badabinski

CLA is basically a requirement for any larger scale open source project. It would be mental to add a "this single edited line is licensed under X license" to every tiny commit. Microsoft's CLA does not tranfer rights btw, it just licenses your contribution to M$ under "basically BSD 0 clause license" terms.

I guess sure they could do a ragpull but it does not make much sense. Reasons:

1) they have open sourced it themselves

2) It's made by M$ for M$. They don't have competition in the Windows space, so there is no point to hide the code.

Also what would be the worst thing that could happen if they did that? You would either use a fork, because WSL2 is basically feature complete at this points, or you would be have to use a proprietary app on a proprietary OS. Imo the licensing of WSL specifically is the least of Windows' issues.

in reply to TMP_NKcYUEoM7kXg4qYe

You absolutely do not need a CLA with a copyright transfer. There are plenty of large projects that use a Developer Certificate of Origin that protects the company while not allowing them to change the license of your contribution.

I'll grant that my original post was pissy and angry and not a great take, however. You make good points here.

in reply to Badabinski

Does the DCO really offer a real guarantee? it looks like it just adds a Signed-off-by John line at the end of the commit, with no actual signature checking that enforces any particular version of a particular document is being acknowledged. IANAL but it doesn't look like something proven to work in court to give legal protection.

Sure, it's easier to simply add a sign-off-by line than actually accepting a legal agreement, so it reduces the barrier of entry, but if this were really enough to establish the conditions to shift liability then I don't see why companies wouldn't start using their own DCOs and extending them, essentially being the equivalent to a CLA (which is a license agreement, not a copyright transfer, even if some might add terms that allow relicensing.. which anyway is moot point when the original license is MIT anyway).

These are good points. I was in a shitty mood when I made my comment and upon reflection, it's an overstatement and not a very good take. I do still strongly support copyleft licenses and DCOs over CLAs, but I shouldn't turn my nose up when something is released without those.

I used to be excited when companies open-sourced stuff, and that is no longer the case. I suppose I'm just frustrated and bitter and cynical when it comes to large companies doing good things.
