  • If I want to make a piece of software to improve people’s lives

    If that is your intention, GPL would make more sense, as every improvement and development would be forced to be made available to those people, thus helping them further.

    I doubt that your code helps anyone who needs/deserves to be helped, after beeing processed by big corpo.

    You could think about your definition of freedom. For me: My freedom ends, where it restricts others people freedom - I shouldn’t be free to rob people and call it restriction if someone forbids this.









  • For me worked:

    • Install Debian
    • be confused by all the options in the installation process, look up every unknown word, try to do everything manualy, fail
    • start installation process again, choose all the defaults, works!
    • trying to install a programm with terminal, fail because not in sudo list, look up how to get into sudo list
    • update in terminal doesn’t work, have to remove some lines in /etc/apt/sources.list - look up how to use the text editor nano, look many yt-videos about Linux filesystem (what to those folders mean? Everything is a file?)
    • try to resize a partition (can’t remember which), can’t, because I didn’t choose LVM in installation process - install Debian again, and do all the steps above again

    I think I had to reinstall Debian 5 more times after that, just because I didn’t know what I was doing and it was an easy reset for me.

    Very frustraiting at times, and a very rewarding feeling when something worked. Made me love tech again, 10/10 would do again.
