  • I've unironically called a day with a friend a "date" before because it was one of the first times it was just the two of us and the things we did seemed date like. Despite him being straight and me being married. It was sort of a joke, but still, it definitely felt like a date. He laughed when I called it this.

  • Eh, not really. Sometimes, sure, but to be honest it doesn't feel significantly different from reddit in that regard. There's always going to be some pedantic assholes on the Internet.

  • What’s your favorite “bad” movie?

  • Dicks The Musical is fun, but it's not really a "bad" movie in that same way. Madame Webb was absolutely amazing to watch. Take a shot every time she opens a soda can.

    She never opens a soda can. There are two scenes where she almost does, but the way they cut it, it's almost like she's edging lol. Like she just never quite opens it. When you're paying attention to it, it's really funny.

  • I joined Lemmy when Reddit made the API pricing changes and effectively killed off third party apps. I was a "RIF is fun" user. Formerly "Reddit is fun" and formerly just "Reddit." I'd been using that app for so so long. It literally used to be called Reddit.

    I gave the official app a try. It was shit. I've fiddled with it since and it's marginally better now (some specific bugs are gone).

    The big reason for me, and why I don't* use Reddit now is because Spez (the CEO) lied about a conversation with the developer of (I think) Apollo, a different third party app. If you wanna look into it you can, others can share a link if they feel inclined. The dev recorded the conversation. Basically Spez misunderstood something that the dev said as a small joke to lighten the mood. The misunderstanding was quickly corrected. But Spez said it as if it was something real and a threat. Basically saying the dev was saying they could buy their app out if they wanted them to go away. Really twisted their words. Even in the recording you can tell it's a joke, it's said light heartedly and with different words that didn't make it sound like a threat.

    So fuck 'em.

    *: I have used it, but like less than 1‰ what I did before. It's a last resort, not a go-to. Plus, I avoid reddit.com links in search results now because so many subreddits you just can't view from the mobile site without logging in or they reject incognito/VPNs... It's insane.

  • You're all good. This sort of became a topic that really caught my mind a few years ago. I was really confused why CC0 wasn't considered suitable for FLOSS projects. I even found the mailing list thread where it was discussed. The next logical question becomes "okay, well, if CC0 isn't suitable, and because some jurisdictions don't allow someone to decide to put something in the public domain, are there any FSF/OSI approved public domain declarations with permissive fall back licenses?" And the answer is, well, just the Unlicense.

    I think the EU doesn't allow people putting things in the public domain. I forget which jurisdictions don't, but when I looked into it last, I remember I came to the conclusion that it was enough of a problem that just making a public domain declaration alone didn't seem enough.

    It's sort of the best of a bad situation for folks who want to put things into the public domain but still let everyone use it. I really dislike crayon licenses as a matter of principle. (I wouldn't want lawyers making code, so I don't want programmers making licenses.) And yet, it's the only one that both FSF and OSI approve, which I also think is pretty important for choosing a license.

    My biggest gripe with the Unlicense though is the name. It's so close to the word "unlicensed" which is totally the opposite. I get their logic for the name, but still, using something without a license (unlicensed) is basically the entirely opposite thing. It's a term that sounds almost the same as something illegal but means something extremely legal.

  • You're getting it backwards. If you hate the idea of patents, then you should use something like Apache which protects people from patent holders, as opposed to CC0 which protects the parent holders. (Not that anyone with a patent would likely contribute to your script and sue people for using their patent.) Whether or not you philosophically agree that patents should exist, they do exist and CC0's fall back license says:

    No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned, surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document.

    Compare that to Apache which says this:

    Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work, where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s) with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You institute patent litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.

    CC0 protect's the creator's patent rights. Apache protects others from patent litigation.

    Also, I'd strongly avoid joke licenses. At that point, why use a license at all? Just use the default protections ensured by copyright. You don't need to give a license your work if you don't want people to be able to use it. If you want people to be able to use your work, you're not actually stopping them if you don't include a license. You're only stopping them from doing it illegally. If you aren't interested in pursuing legal action against people using your stuff, you don't actually need to provide a license. The only benefit you get is encouraging more people to use it (generally more corporate minded folks).

  • Hey OP, I'd suggest not using CC0 for code. The only "public domain declaration with permissive fallback license" that FSF and OSI approve is the Unlicense. https://unlicense.org/ I hate the name. It's a crayon license (a license not made by lawyers). But it's still actually approved by FSF and OSI unlike CC0.

    The reason CC0 is not approved is because it explicitly does not grant patent rights. Compare that to permissive licenses like Apache (which explicitly does) and MIT (which implicitly does). Because CC0 says it doesn't (as opposed to not saying it does, like MIT) that makes it awful for software.

    My advice is to just use extremely permissive and simple licences if you really want something in the public domain. The most widely used is MIT.

  • It's because it's now dead malls that are getting haunted. To know what's worth haunting today we'll need to wait about 30 to 50 years to see what sorts of architecture is considered spooky.
