          I watched General Magic at the Apollo Cinema in KW last night. Great documentary that provides so many opportunities for introspection with my own projects and my expectations of them.

            Forbes described General Magic as the “most important dead company in Silicon Valley.” General Magic, the movie, shows how great vision and epic failure changed the world as we now know it.

            One thing that's new with VR that no one is talking about is defaulting voice chat to always enabled. Many games and social apps in VR do this. It really changes the game when people hear your "inner" monologue when you join a server.

                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

                  1. File without filename could not get a thumbnail source.
                    The Commons Clause will destroy open source
                    from Drew DeVault’s Blog
                    An alarmist title, I know, but it’s true. If the Commons clause were to be adopted by all open source projects, they would cease to be open source1, and therefore the Commons clause is trying to destroy open source. When this first appeared I spoke out about it in discussion threads around the net, but didn’t think anyone would take it seriously. Well, yesterday, some parts of Redis became proprietary software. Under both the OSI and FSF definitions. The Commons Clause removes freedom 0 of the four essential freedoms. ↩
                  2. File without filename could not get a thumbnail source.
                    It’s not okay to pretend your software is open source
                    from Drew DeVault’s Blog
                    Unfortunately, I find myself writing about the Commons Clause again. For those not in the know, the Commons Clause is an addendum designed to be added to free software licenses. The restrictions it imposes (you cannot sell the software) makes the resulting franken-license nonfree. I’m not going to link to the project which brought this subject back into the discussion - they don’t deserve the referral - but the continued proliferation of software using the Commons Clause gives me reason to speak out against it some more.

                    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.

                              @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...
