I’m assuming, this is what OP is using: https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-firefox/

I’m not a lawyer, I could imagine that a copyright claim for a specific app design is viable.
But in this case, it might also just be a case of avoiding bad press and bad blood with Apple.

As a German, well, I don’t understand enough about the US side of things to answer to this, but I do always get spooked when I see nations pulling shit like that.

And, by the way, I do hope the USA finally get 9/11 under wraps this year: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2023/09/07/notice-on-the-continuation-of-the-national-emergency-with-respect-to-certain-terrorist-attacks-3/

If you just want correct metadata (no own adjustments), then getting it from the MusicBrainz database is probably easiest. You can use MusicBrainz Picard for that: https://picard.musicbrainz.org

It does also seem to have a scripting API. No idea how well that works, though.

I actually even made my own bullshit-Spotify. As in, I’ve got a server running on a single-board computer which reads my music folder and serves a small music player as a webpage.

I didn’t want to install a music player client on my work laptop, but still wanted to listen to my own songs there.

Agile tries to solve this differently.

First and foremost, it puts you into tight-knit communication with your team and the customers, so just ask if anyone remembers why it is like that.

If no one does, then Agile enables to basically fuck around and find out.

Which is to say, change it to how you think it’s supposed to be and see if anything breaks / anyone complains. If that happens, Agile allows you to react quickly, i.e. to change it back and quickly release a fixed version.

But yeah, as the others said, if your team feels like documents work better for them, then do Agile and documents. That’s why retrospectives are an integral part of Agile, because it’s not a perfect plan how to work together. You’ll know best what works in your context.

I still haven’t released anything which is not under the AGPLv3 license, which is even more aggressive than the GPL, primarily because I know that it’s prohibited to use AGPL-licensed software/libraries at Google.

I’m also hoping that because my stuff is on Codeberg, not GitHub, that its license hasn’t been laundered yet by some criminal AI company, but I don’t actually believe so. Certainly makes me more reluctant to publish my code.

In Okular (for desktop), you can set keyboard shortcuts for various color inversion/shifting modes. Or you can permanently set one in the Accessibility settings.

I am 100% on board with people doing with their body whatever they want. Restricting that is just ridiculous.
But that also necessarily means, they can decide to do immoral things with their body, which I do not need to be a fan of. And that’s where I’m still somewhat undecided on how to think of the whole sex work industry.

As you say, to some degree, it is simply mental care for those customers. I do think, the offering should exist.
But it’s also all too easy for it to become extremely exploitative.

I’m thinking, in some far-off, progressive future (not sure, if we get there before work stops really being a thing), there would be self-help groups or simply therapy offerings, for those who spend their life earnings on getting sex work done.

Wow, I’ve definitely seen that before, but I never realized how wild that is. So many companies will start drooling like a dumbass when anything contains the GPL.

So, it’s not like they can’t ever use GPL software, most do use Linux knowingly or unknowingly. But if you use GPL software in a way the legal department hasn’t seen before, they’ll always feel uneasy about it.

Frankly, I’m surprised that Java gained any traction in the corporate world at all, then.

You can write any conditions you want into a license.

That’s what actually differentiates proprietary licenses from open-source licenses.
Open-source licenses follow certain rules, and you usually select an existing license, so therefore they can be reasoned about, collectively. People often implicitly mean “OSI-approved license”, when they talk of “open-source licenses”.
Proprietary licenses, on the other hand, can contain whatever bullcrap you want.

Having said that, I’m not a lawyer, but I imagine, if you also called your license “GNU General Public License”, then a case could probably be made in court, that your license is deliberately confusing.

Hmm, do you mean in the web console?

I know Firefox has a bit of a reputation for being rather precise in how it handles web standards compliance. So, it’ll show comparatively many warnings and errors, if you don’t keep to the web standards.

This is actually quite useful for web devs, because it means, if Firefox is happy with your implementation, then it’s relatively likely to run correctly on all browsers.

FUTO’s The Open Source Definition

Open source just means access to the source code. […]

What is wrong with this company? How do you have the thought and then follow all the way through with it, that you need an own definition of a commonly used word? That’s just being obtuse and annoying.

Man, can you imagine? You’ve written your paper. You generate the LLM-justified version and proof-read it all the way through. But then you realize, you still need to add one more info to your opening paragraph. The LLM will rewrite your entire paper once again and you get to proof-read it another time. 🫠

To my knowledge, it’s a name that came out of the free software / GNU movement. So, “hackers” as in clever problem solvers, not those that break into insecure systems.

Yeah, learning Rust has given me greater appreciation for C/C++. Like, the selling feature of all three is that they don’t use a runtime, which means you’re not locked into that ecosystem. You can create libraries with them, that can be used from virtually any other language.

It’s also easy to say that the performance of Java, Python et al is fine, but having a larger application start up in 1 rather than 20 seconds is still always appreciated.

To be honest, I’m not the best to ask about Python. I need more rigid languages for my daily job, so it’s much quicker for me to just throw down a small project in one of those.

I do know, though, that Python comes with Tkinter out of the box. People usually don’t praise that all too much, but it’s probably fine for small GUIs.

However, it’s almost certainly worse than Powershell/.NET for creating Windows-only GUIs.

If you’d like to write GUIs on the Linux side, then I would frankly recommend not doing that.
No Linux sysadmin wants a GUI to deal with. If you give them a CLI, then they can automate that, i.e. integrate it into yet another (probably Bash) script.
Not to mention that most Linux servers don’t even have a graphics stack installed…

Yeah, I just tell our Linux newbies tar xf, as in “extract file”, and that seems to stick perfectly well.
