And I was just asking yesterday what would you feel if someone evil used your FOSS software: https://lemmy.world/post/16898871

FOSS programmers, what do you think of horrible people using your software? (lemmy.world)
 

I just learned that Nmap is almost GPL except that they revoked the license specifically for SCO group for their SCO–Linux disputes.

This got me thinking, what do open source programmers think of evil companies or horrible people using their software?

Don't get me wrong, FOSS software by its nature can't be controlled or strictly prevented of being used. But in case of companies like SCO, that is a thing that at least can cause them headache and they risk getting into legal trouble. A programmer for example can modify GPL to make so that his software can't be used by Microsoft or Facebook, but it is GPL for everybody else.

Commandline memes (lemmy.world)
 

I found out that this tool http://www.convertlit.com/ provides a program with a funny name. I wonder if there are similar programs with offensive names or puns like this one. For example, I remember reading a fortune output saying something along the lines of

man Why did you get divorced? 
man: Too many arguments.

And of course, there is the cliche touch grass.

Reddit Shell: webshell for browsing Reddit via command line (redditshell.com)
 

It'd be interesting to find similar one for the Fediverse.

"Too bloated; Didn't read" should be a thing when someone shares a paywalled article with many ads (lemmy.world)
 

TB;DR: give a summary or archived versions without paywall of articles you share.,

ELI5: Why did LED notification lights silently got removed from phone? in c/explainlikeimfive@lemmy.world

That seems to me a waaay too inefficient indicator of "you have unread notifications"

Suggested Distro? in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.ml

Just use Manjaro KDE. It has "Install alongside" option during installation if you don't wanna remove Windows. Also Newbie support and gaming performance is excellent.

Opinion - What are your thoughts on password managers? Do you use one? Would you recommend it to others? in c/android@lemmy.world

Trust no one. Not because you're paranoid, but because you don't need to.

Trust no one and just use KeePassXC.
