@cwebber @mlemweb How usable is it by itself? The screen and keyboard both look tiny

@alexia @cwg1231 Please don’t use a proprietary software license. Entities that ignore human rights law are likely to also ignore copyright law, restrictions on use in copyright licenses simply should not exist (I think the FSF article explains this well), and if everyone puts different use restrictions we’re going to end up with thousands of slightly different possibly-incompatible licenses.

Also, that specific license doesn’t seem to have been reviewed by a lawyer. I noticed several problems (I am not a lawyer):

• It appears be written in such a way that would prohibit even distributing the software on a physical medium (like a CD) for the cost of the physical medium.
• “No entity that commits such abuses or materially supports entities that do may use the Work for any reason.” seems overly broad and like it would prevent anyone who pays taxes (to a government which commits human rights abuses) from using the Work.

If you want to scare off companies, just use the AGPL. It’s a free software license and companies seem to be scared of it (Google doesn’t allow use of any AGPL software apparently)

@elly @Rairii @ipg Is there any actual hardware difference between the chipsets that support AMT and those that don't, or is it just software?

@benjojo @manawyrm is the 4MB drive actually usable for storage?

@ezio what's a crunkulator?

@fun @postmarketOS UI poll is, init system poll doesn't let me choose more than one

@fun @postmarketOS why isn't this a multiple-choice poll? (you can't use both on the same installation, but you can have multiple devices with postmarketOS)

@ariadne why not peertube?

@dngrs @ariadne that's what a DCO is for: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developer_Certificate_of_Origin. Linux and Coreboot both use one.

CLAs mean that companies can take open source software and privatize it.

@xmpp not such a nice view but I did see this XMPP sticker on a lamppost (Cambridge, UK)

@ariadne

importantly, what is NOT coming? the Alpine Linux operating system itself using systemd. this is not in the cards, has never been in the cards, and most likely will never be in the cards.

Do you mean that systemd won’t be packaged in aports (even though there are already other non-OpenRC init systems packaged), or just that Alpine won’t default to using systemd?

@unnick I'm still on day 1 part 2 (but I started late)

There is currently a scanning electron microscope on eBay UK for the incredible bargain price of £470. I do not have space for this.

@nay can I have a sillypost invite please?

@fun @ariadne this implies that affordability is bad

@libreleah I don't think this is going to have much effect, even if you get other websites to do this. Many commercial websites are already like this (JavaScript required for images, cookie consent banners, ...) and most people are apparently fine with it. Libreboot users in particular are likely to already be aware of the OSA and why it is bad.
