With my pocket calculator.
So I've finally managed to write a functioning program by just writing bytes to a file. Something I've long thought about but didn't know where to start. Turns out it's not that hard! (just tedious)
Yo yo yo! Remember I promised to write about scaling mastodon.social to 43k users? I did it! https://medium.com/@Gargron/scaling-mastodon-1becde463090
@ebel I'm assuming most end users don't even know what source code is or how they would/could/should publish it.
@ebel But if an end user forks a GPL project and makes it into some kind of service, then I'd encourage changing the fork to AGPL.
@ebel It can put end users in a position where they have to worry about whether their slightly unconventional use of the software will suddenly break license terms.
@ebel I favor vanilla GPL for end-user applications, AGPL for services hosted on behalf of end users, and BSD/MIT for libraries where the "end user" is another developer and wide adoption has benefits of its own.
The point of GPL is ensure users have the source! So why not ensure that? Why not use AGPL??
