Some days my hair is an SCP artifact

"okay, finally brushed all the tangles out of my hair, let's go"
*moves half an inch*
*hair immediately tangles up into one giant ball*
"oh goddammit"

Reasons I'm using my phone instead of my laptop when it's right in front of me, part 1 https://is.a.qute.dog/media/p5B-13uMhIDChlvbX4Q

Project (logo) circa tonight: https://hydroxyl.co/logo.svg

Project status circa last night: "wait, why am I bothering looking for something to convert this to SVG, I can just write this in a text editor with less effort"

project status: made a logo font last night, struggle to turn it into a SVG image and stall

@riking @dr1ft oh right I totally forgot about this

rip my like ten or fifteen lines of code in Bukkit/CraftBukkit, as well as the star I can never remove from the project

@ivesen I don't really feel like going into detail yet again, but the main thing is "I believe license choice is an important aspect of software development and I believe the GPL is trying to erase that ability to choose".

Aside from that, there's also "I don't feel that the GPL adequately protects what I care about in software development" and "The GPL is an extremely long, overly complex document in comparison to most software licenses".

for the record, my personal license choice for anything I release open source is the zlib license, which requires attribution ("The origin of this software must not be misrepresented; you must not claim that you wrote the original software") and to state changes ("Altered source versions must be plainly marked as such")

@dr1ft the FSF's viewpoint appears to be "any linking constitutes a combined work and thus the GPL's terms cover everything", from a bit of googling

> "Linking [name of your program] statically or dynamically with other modules is making a combined work based on [name of your program]. Thus, the terms and conditions of the GNU General Public License cover the whole combination."

the GPL is a blight upon software development and I wish it would die

@dr1ft except you have to be careful, because if you accidentally get too restrictive with your additional terms, anyone can just ignore it

> "If the Program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term."

@dr1ft i do not believe it is unless you actually add additional terms to the license to prohibit that behavior.

@dr1ft it sure was nice back when I worked on a certain doom mod, licensed under the GPL, to have all of my contributions stolen and credited to somebody else, with no recourse available to me (and they flaunted that fact *in my face*)

@dr1ft none of the GPL licenses care about the people writing the code.

@dr1ft if you think the GPL is seriously going to protect *you*, then...

@dr1ft why

@boots *hugs tightly and warmly*

@nicole honestly I could pay that for you no problem, if you wanted ~w~

Sometimes I wish I didn't have to work Saturday nights

I'd kinda like watching the Indycar races instead of catching up on them after the fact
