   The main problem with choosing a free software license is that they're a giant pile of legalese rather than a succient explanation of their goals.

   MIT, BSD: Do whatever you want with this software, but it's not our responsibility (baseline)

   Apache: Same but with extra protections for your trademarks/brand

   GPL: Requires derivative software and software to also use the GPL license

   LGPL: Requires derivatives to also use the LGPL license, but doesn't consider linking to a library to be a derivative

   AGPL: Requires derivatives to also use the AGPL license, but considers communication over the network to be derivative

     @alvarezp it's a nonfree license designed to make open source projects stop being open source

   Just started reading Solaris. It's one of those books that all nerds are supposed to read. So far, it's pretty good!

   Dang, the new Blender (2.80) looks super slick. Crazy weird reversing left and right click, though. It's more natural coming from other apps, but a total mind fuck for anyone who is used to Blender already.

    When the Windows problem you are trying to diagnose in 2018 was reported back in 2011 and *crickets*

      It is nice that there is still mystery in the world, I guess.

      Sometimes things just... happen. The universe is stranger than we can imagine.

      @natecull Since updating to 1809 I've lost access to the store, had two blue screens, lost all of my start menu icons three times, and had a remote Microsoft tech do a system restore for me (to no avail, for some reason Windows has been making daily restore points over the last few days).

      I thought that 1809 was the release version, not the year of technological equivalence...
