In fact, it’s more likely, since for example, you could make corporations pay for being able to use your code under a different license.

If it was MIT, they can just use it and give you fuck all.

As an extension to this, many games use interpreted languages, essentially another language before it gets made into machine language, which makes decompilation much more easy and readable since you’re already working with a higher level programming interface.

Mostly with Unity games or games that use lua scripting.

If it’s open source, there’s roughly a 100% chance someone will make it work on Linux.

I think it’s just sheltered people that didn’t (/weren’t forced to) discover all the possible evil in human behavior.

Lots of people grow up in a decent environment, without many major problems. If that is the case, it is very psychologically disadvantageous to become aware of all the evil possible by literally everybody, because this realization is extremely painful.

Ignorance is bliss and so on. Active, willful ignorance works just as well because our mind is so good at compartmentalizing. People like this can actually unconsciously be actively ignorant, because even the action of trying to be ignorant can be ignored successfully, that’s how “good” at that the human mind is.

Because of that, in my opinion, your kind of comment is a little unhelpful. You’re entirely right of course, but you phrased it relatively aggressive/as if it was completely obvious, as if you think people that don’t believe that should feel bad. But I think the correct approach is to point your message out in a neutral/compassionate way, to make it easier for these ignorant people to read and feel less psychological pain, triggering less of the mental defenses. In any case though, I personally appreciate you :)

it goes against his own initial intention

It goes against his initial stated intention.

Just because he said something doesn’t mean it’s the truth. The way he acted about it initially and the way he acts now makes it blatantly obvious that his actual initial intentions were always nefarious, and he simply lied about his intentions to get sympathy like you’re giving him.

By that logic, everyone is extremely stupid, since it’s impossible to know everything. It’s actually impossible to be intelligent.

You just need to effortfully try harder!

Meh, the article mostly argues semantics. Sure “intellectual property” is a loaded phrase, but what is meant by the layperson is just “I made it, I should profit from it”, i.e. copyright. We’re not talking about massive corporations here and hindering right-to-repair, I’m talking to a guy who made something useful (likely software or music or whatever creative) and wants to sell it.

I agree that talking about it vaguely is not super useful, but this is just a small casual discussion forum, not some legal debate.

Stealing intellectual property is only a problem because your survival is not guaranteed without it. If you could live a comfortable life no matter what, it would be much better for the whole of humanity if your current IP was simply available to everyone.

Just imagine if all the duplicate work from competition immediately disappeared and instead everyone in whatever field just shared their insights and built on each other’s work.

Of course, that only works once everyone’s survival is not dependent on this IP concept anymore. But it should be clear that in an utopian society, IP is just stupid.

How is babby formed?

Ah, you want memes to not include Argentina anymore, so naturally you make a meme about Argentina instead of one not involving it.

Try run decade (even years) old binaries on Linux, good luck.

I’ve actually had a case where something old didn’t work on Windows, but was fine on Linux with wine, lol

Meh, how often do you really do some serious work where you’re not on your own hardware? Depends on your job I guess, if you’re company tech support and walk around to people’s PCs the whole time, but if you’re a programmer or similar, when are you really not going to do your work on your PC?

It’s not like you can’t work with a default layout afterwards, you’re just going to be a bit slower on one. It really didn’t happen very often for me in years of working.

I simply made my own keyboard layout. Accent grave is just a single press for me, altgr+accent is the “normal” combining one. Also changed äö to () and shift+äö to [].

It’s not that hard, it’s just a markup file I had to copy+modify and put in some folder.

Just don’t connect them to the internet, then it doesn’t matter.

Why does everyone care about labels so much :D just dress up like you want and celebrate when you want

The expression they were using indicated that they were joking.

What I do is work less than 3 hours per day. If on a job, the rest of the time I just act as if I’m working.

You’re using the wrong language. If it fails, it never worked out of the gate. You should say that it seemed like it’s working, but never actually did.
