@grue@lemmy.world 's explanation is spot on. However, just to practice summaries, I’ll write anyway.

Here are a few terms I’ll use:

• Project A
• Project B

The GPL family of licenses are all copyleft. This means that any code used from Project A in Project B, for instance, makes the latter have the same license, along with not being able to make either Project A or B proprietary*. Furthermore, with copyleft licensed software, you have to give the corresponding source code, along with the compiled binary.

The difference between the v2 and v3 versions of GPL is that, with the former, Tivoization was possible. Tivoization makes you only able to use the “official” version of the software, rendering it proprietary. Now, here is the comparison between the GPL variants:

• GPL: The first of the kind, not much to say here.
• LGPL: It allows you to link (as in libraries) code from Project A to B, without making Project B use the license, too
• AGPL: You’ve certainly heard of SaaS, which allows you to serve websites licensed under the GPL, for example, without giving the corresponding source code. The AGPL solves this.

*That is, if there are more contributors to Project A that have not given up their authorship. Also, the version of Project A that used the GPLv3 before can still be used under the same license.

Yes, I know. But, while trying to find a way to bomb the AI datacenters (/s, hopefully it doesn’t come to this), we can stall their attacks.

I would have a plan, but it would be against the rules of this community, instance, my instance, and any Lemmy instance, the Fediverse in general, social media, and, overall, the internet.

Yep! That was exactly the protocol on my mind. One thing, though, is that the Fediverse would need to be ported to Gemini, or at least for a new protocol to be created for Gemini.

I know this is the most ridiculous idea, but we need to pack our bags and make a new internet protocol, to separate us from the rest, at least for a while. Either way, most “modern” internet things (looking at you, JavaScript) are not modern at all, and starting over might help more than any of us could imagine.

I’d say you need to be at least a bit concerned, especially considering long COVID, which can be dangerous. This is why I still wear an FFP2/N95 mask, even though everyone claims that COVID is gone. I recommend doing all you can to improve your health, going as far as a healthy diet and meditation. Just do anything you can that makes both of y’all recover fully ASAP.

Sadly, in Russia, Putin is not the worst — whoever becomes leader after him (assuming Russia does not democratize) will most likely nuke all of us.

Disclaimer: I haven’t read the article yet — I’m just trying to get people to think. I get what you’re saying, but there’s another side to this: they are ex-IDF. Why did they leave? Not good enough pay, something else maybe. However, it’s a strong possibility that some of them left due to disappointments with the IDF, for ideological reasons. We shouldn’t shun people for where they worked, but rather check their integrity and competence. Who knows? They may be our greatest allies.
