I feel like most people base their decision on license purely on anecdotes of a handful of cases where the outcome was not how they would have wanted it. Yet, most people will never be in that spot, because they don't have anything that anyone would want to consume.

If I had produced something of value I want to protect, I wouldn't make it open in the first place. Every piece of your code will be used to feed LLMs, regardless of your license.

It is perfectly fine to slap MIT on your JavaScript widget and let some junior in some shop use it to get their project done. Makes people's life easier, and you don't want to sue anyone anyway in case of license violations.

If you're building a kernel module for a TCP reimplementation which dramatically outperforms the current implementation, yeah, probably a different story

To add to that for clarity: With the original Mono, you could run a regular Windows .net application on non-Windows without any additional work (with limitations, as native Windows API calls were unsupported). With the modern dotnet, you can compile new applications from source that will run anywhere

That is some next-level Minecraft you are playing over there

GitHub is a place you can use to easily put a copy of your code online. Many people just want to build a working solution and move on. Building a useful GitHub project, with fancy stuff like releases, is work that isn't really solving any issues. Many people don't like doing it. Many people especially don't want to invest time in proprietary solutions like GitHub. They might not even accept pull requests on GitHub.

Quality assessment though 😄

Messing with the computer is pretty important though

I'm not weighing crimes against each other, the meme is

Everyone who has ever heard of deno has read this irrelevant blog post. It was even stupid at the time he wrote it. People had long been containerizing their node payloads to solve most of his concerns and building ts-node into your js engine as a preprocessors was also beyond redundant. Everything is such a gimmick and people actually followed the marketing and went through years of unstable development for nothing. And now bun people are recycling the same hype approach to gain relevance

That's not a standard library for JS. Those are builtin modules. A standard library should be available for inclusion in various consumers.

It's the US government doing it. I don't care which party provides the current faces. As if that really matters. Killing people is the business that country is in, war is their economy. Sending weapons to anyone is a joke in comparison to past actions. They dropped nukes on people

Now that is ancient js style

I totally agree with you on the phishing aspect. Good thinking.

I would prefer it if people already knew the domain from prior association. I still download desktop software regularly on the developer website, even though I am also aware that this is not without safety concerns. I know this is an unrealistic expectation at this point, but I dislike that the Google/Apple Stores have more trust, even though they regularly publish fake apps or apps with security/privacy issues.

Ultimately, publish on multiple channels regularly and let your users be aware of alternatives. Then they are enabled to switch when they need to, and it might also be easier for new users to recognize which release channels are official

Okay, maybe I read you wrong. I agree that nobody will try to acquire details through mullvad to prosecute this.

I read the comment like downloading music is so irrelevant, you could skip the VPN, which I would disagree with.

I once downloaded an album I had already pre-ordered, but didn't want to wait, no VPN. Got a letter from a media lawyer within the month. Felt pretty stupid.
