In some atomic distributions like Vanilla OS and SteamOS you have two mostly (AFAIK) identical root partitions. Let's say that you boot partition A. You install a system update, and now partition B contains the updated OS. Your bootloader also remembers which partition is up-to-date and boots off of that one next time. Now, you boot with partition B. There is a system update and the latest version of the OS is installed to partition A. It now repeats as you might expect.

The goal is to have both versions readily available so that if an update introduces problems you can always continue to use the old one. This is not something you are meant to think about or tinker with. If you need more customization, I think you might wanna consider a more traditional distro.

Tentatively interesting, but probably not.

The memory limits would be too low and I don’t trust chromium much.

Conclusion, Americans are a bunch of idiots.

If it's your own code, you can dual license it and still use it without releasing the source.

Yeah, they need to up their efficiency with more AI. 😄

People do it because they think being able to use code at work without dealing with legal issues more important than protecting the software from exploitation.

It's kinda classic American capitalist freedom thinking.

American: Freedom = no regulations Others: Freedom has to be protected by regulations

The fact is that MIT license allow you to get the code legally, you don't stole anything. GPL only force you to publish derivate works under the same license if you publish your project (ok, that's not all, I know).

But I doubt that a simple change of license is enough to stop AI tools which don't seems to bother with this "technicalities". It can be a starting point to sue someone, if you have the money, but nothing more.

Ah yes, Schroedinger’s clean room.

As long as you don’t look at the training process it’s a clean rewrite.

BSD should stop using cuck licenses. That would make this a non-issue for them.

JavaScript is ass, so I also appreciate the plain text copy.

Honest question, why would anyone use those MIT and BSD licenses? To me personally (no disrespect intended here), it seems very stupid. If I understand correctly, these licenses allow you to take the code and make it proprietary and you don’t have to contribute your changes back like GPL requires! If I’m understanding this wrong, please do explain. Thanks.

You'd be surprised how much of the internet works just fine without javascript enabled. Combined with an adblocker, it's also often a better experience on some ad-infested news sites where ublock alone just doesn't cut it.

You don't have to employ a javascript whitelist if you don't want to. I do and appreciate OP because of it.

Except you aren't "downloading" the .exe as this thread suggests.

You're right, it is more complex, "difficult" and fiddly than downloading an exe - presumably because you are trying to do something more complex than your walled garden software allows.

I don't do the repairs on my car myself, even though I probably could and most of them are probably simple and don't require specialist tools. Same for free software to do specialist functions.

How does a Linux distro that pulls its Kernel directly from pacman have a code modification that can change what architecture it can run on?

Wish this was in Emacs instead.

Ironically, the article is about intellectual property and op doesn't care, it seems.

It's about a change from copyright to copyleft.

Copyleft:

In this sense, freedoms refers to the use of the work for any purpose, and the ability to modify, copy, share, and redistribute the work, with or without a fee.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyleft

There is no irony.

Copyright is copyright. Whether oss or proprietary. Strong copyright laws benefit the GPL as well as corporations.

I’m sorry if the image confuses you guys, I just found it funny and it was that only Linux related image I had. 😅

They make little stick-on thermal pad squares that you put in between the bottom of M.2 SSD sticks and the top of the motherboard to help heat dissipation.

He's got a point. As someone who's familiar and uses GitHub all the time, there are moments of frustration where it's like... "just let me be braindead and have it work"

He is right to be honest. I had to search for 3 days to find linux.exe.

Site requires javascript so I appreciate OP. If that doesn't bother you, nothing's stopping you from clicking the article.

The big secret no one tells you about about bandit, is you have to read the fucking manual. No really. RTFM. Each level tells you what commands you may need. The manual pages for those commands tell you the context and syntax of their usage.

That is literally the only tip/trick. Read the instructions.
