Even though the bridges that #beeper use are AGPL licensed, the beeper client is proprietary software 😭
This is big sad.
They almost had it.
It is also kind of limited on google-free android phones, since the QR code scanner for device verification key-signing depends on a google play services API (which microg doesn’t implement). This means that you can’t share message history between your google-free android and the beeper desktop client. ⌘ Read more
Victorian Premier says tobacco shop licensing will roll out by end of year
Victoria will finally set up a tobacco licensing scheme, more than two years after it was recommended, as part of a crackdown on the illegal tobacco trade that has sparked a spate of fire bombings. ⌘ Read more

Another digital license plate sighting today. It’s an epidemic!
GitHub and OpenAI fail to wriggle out of Copilot lawsuit • The Register
Lawsuits alleging GitHub Copilot breached licenses can move forward. Will be interesting to see how these cases are decided.
This is a fucked up detail:
The judge meanwhile rejected the defense argument that the plaintiffs should not be allowed to continue their claim pseudonymously based on death threats sent to the plaintiffs’ counsel.
Who is sending death threats to the lawyers of people trying to sue GitHub/Microsoft/OpenAI, and why? Something’s fishy there.
Since I found a cheap lifetime license for AdGuard Premium, I’ll try it on my phone for a while. I’ve also configured it with my strict NextDNS profile. But now my phone not only filters DNS requests to block ads, but also HTTP requests. And while uBlock Origin works pretty well in Firefox on Android, I decided to disable it while using AdGuard to see how the performance compares. ⌘ Read more

Looking for a Docker Alternative? Consider This.
Docker recently announced updates and extensions to our product subscriptions. Docker CEO Scott Johnston also posted a blog about the changes. Much of the discussion centered on what the licensing changes mean for users of Docker Desktop, which remains free for small businesses and several other user types, but now requires a paid subscription — starting […]

Why I Use the GPL and Not Cuck Licenses
Every piece of software I write I license under the GNU Public License Version 3 (GPLv3) unless I have forked it from something else.
The GPLv3 is the premiere copyleft license, meaning that it not only allows users to run, modify and distribute their own versions of what I write, but it also requires that no one in that chain of development restrict and close-source that software: it and sof … ⌘ Read more

Impact Is Now Free & Open Source
My HTML5 Game Engine Impact launched almost 8 years ago. The last update was published in 2014. While Impact still works nicely in modern browsers, it lacks support for better graphic and sound APIs that are now available. I felt increasingly bad for selling a product that is hardly maintained or improved.
So as of today Impact will be available completely for free, published under the permissive MIT License.
Impact’s source is available on [gith … ⌘ Read more
Searching for the car
A year ago, Kent got his learner’s permit. With the help of John, and a little from me, he practiced driving for over 250 hours. A year later — more or less — on 9 March, he got his driver’s license, passing the practical test with a 96, out of 100 points, score. And so the asking for a car began.

Using Atom
I have used many editors in the past, either under Windows or OS X. Too many, I have really lost the count. The last one I used was Sublime Text. Great editor, cross platform too, but pricey. Each time I would get the nag, I would feel guilty for not buying me a licensed copy.
I tried Atom when it first came out. It was buggy and slow, really, really slow. Not anymore. I am using version 1.0.9 now, and it is a joy. So fast, so customizable, so complete, … ⌘ Read more
Four-way stop
Drivers in Orlando do not seem to know what to do when they reach a four way stop. It really makes me wonder how were they able to obtain a drivers license without that knowledge, as it is part of Drivers Handbook (search for “Stop Signs” on that page), the test, and occasionally encountered while driving.
For the record, and in case you live in Orlando, and do not know what to do on a four-way stop (also known as all-way stop) … ⌘ Read more
