   If you're have to make people pay even more to disable a "feature", maybe you shouldn't have developed the it in the first place.

   sure. consider code in a web shop that does the shop's own finances. there's no freedom reason for customers to be entitled to get a copy of that code, but if there's AGPL code in there, the user (the web shop) loses its freedom to distribute (or not) that code. same goes for, say, a PDF generator that the shop uses to format documents it must provide to customers. if that's AGPL, the web shop's freedom is again violated.
   
   contrast with the web shop's server doing customer's own computing, say managing shopping lists. the user that the computing pertains to is the customer, and so the imperative is for the customer to have the four freedoms, and this web service should thus be provided in a way that respects the customer's freedom. for the web shop, not being the user of that service, the freedoms are not an imperative: it's not entitled to control someone else's computing, even if it performs it itself

     unfortunately, no, the AGPL does not avoid the problem I meant. it looks like I was unclear in my depiction: the local operator is the user, but that wasn't supposed to mean that there wouldn't be remote customers interacting with it. the AGPL doesn't distinguish whose computing the program does and, as such, it can be (and is) misused to impose unjust subjugation on operators, when the computing the component does is the operators'. it also forces inefficient integrations to keep components in separate programs.
     
     but that doesn't mean AGPL is bad. it's a great tool to defend remote users' freedoms, but like most tools, it can be put to harmful uses.

    I went to a couple stores today. One of them was still advertising Black Friday prices (over a week after Black Friday). The other was already into their Boxing Day sale. It is very confusing.

    I've been seeing articles on the resurgence of "dumbphones". This will never be attractive to me, since the dumb phone only does voice calls and SMS, two things I hate using and try as much as possible to avoid. The things I find most useful about my "smartphone" are the things that are the least phone-like. Phones are the worst.

    pra quem ainda ouve a simone tebet (e o haddad?) comparando orçamento federal com orçamento familiar e acha que faz sentido, recomendo dar uma lida em https://pluralistic.net/2024/10/21/we-can-have-nice-things/ e assistir ao vídeo de stephanie kelton e ver o pôste vinculado lá sobre o livro dela.
    
    uma vez entendido que a comparação é falaciosa, e que a austeridade fiscal acaba sendo um tiro no pé, a pergunta que fica é por que raios o mercado pressiona com tanta força para que o governo limite os investimentos que fariam a economia rodar. considerando que o próprio mercado paga parte do preço dessa austeridade (não tanto quanto os mais vulneráveis, mas enfim), a única explicação que me ocorre é que estejam sabotando o governo mais popular, ainda que não seja um governo de esquerda, pra das duas uma: ou o governo cumpre o que estão exigindo e a economia azeda, com efeitos conhecidos sobre a próxima eleição, ou o governo se rebela pra atender aos anseios da população e aí corremos o risco de levar mais um golpe.
    
    isso tudo me parece meio óbvio. o que não consigo entender é por que as pessoas encarregadas de dirigir e planejar a economia, que presumivelmente sabem que a falácia é descabida, repetem-na como se fosse fato? são tão reféns do mercado que se sentem obrigados a isso?

    heh. in my first time in France, I and some colleagues at a buffet had a large variety of cheeses to choose from at the end of a meal. I was determined to try every one of them. I put small pieces on a plate, went back ot our table and started working on them. eventually I got to a very very soft one. a colleague who was enjoying watching me delight with the cheeses tried to warn me, but it was too late: it was butter. not bad, but a little weird without bread underneath.

    Licenses are just contracts
    
    

    that seems like a common misconception. licenses are one-way permission grants. they can be contracts in some jurisdictions, but usually contracts are agreements involving meeting of minds. licenses aren't like that, they don't impose obligations, they can at most delimit the permissions that are granted for the licensee to do things that, by law, require permission from the licensor. if it goes beyond granting permissions, say requiring the other party to refrain from doing things that the party could do before, then it's an agreement. the agreement (thus contract) may contain some licensing, which makes it a licensing agreement, but the licensing by itself doesn't require agreement

    @sol2070 @Bruiserzinha @malcontato @lorimeyers @cadusilva @xPandeMoniax @skadi @gmgall lutamos pelo orgulho nerd, como lutamos contra a demonização dos hackers, como lutamos pela liberdade de software, pela resistência ao controle através da tecnologia, pela democracia, enfim... não é porque um ignorante decidiu despejar seus preconceitos numa palavra que a gente precisa se jogar junto

      o que a gente ganha lutando por legados culturais em geral? uma população indígena poderia decidir não lutar por sua cultura ante a invasão. perderíamos todos em riqueza e diversidade cultural. a cultura nerd não tem o mesmo apelo humanitário, mas há questões semelhantes de colonização e imperialismo interessadas em suprimir nossa atitude. isso já me motiva a resistir.

      uhh, eu me perdi um pouco na resposta, pensando em cultura hacker em vez de cultura nerd. não que não dê valor à cultura nerd. o dia da toalha, o culto ao 42, ... mas minha derrapada deixou de fora uma questão bem importante pra mim: o perfil nerd é bem fortemente associado à neurodivergência, e aí a discriminação e o bullying viram questão de intolerância

    acho fantástico tom ter significado. eu tenho ouvido absolutamente relativo pra tom musical, me percebo insensível a tom de fala/escrita (não entendo do que estão falando quando falam desse tom), então, por coincidência da palavra "tom", já fico apavorado só de pensar em tentar encarar aprender alguma língua tonal, mas nada a ver, né?

      eu frequentemente não sou capaz de perceber agressividade, jovialidade, ironia, enfim... acontece tanto de um tom estar presente numa mensagem de outra pessoa e eu não perceber, quanto de eu escrever alguma coisa e outra pessoa detectar um tom que não reflete em nada o que eu sentia ou pretendia comunicar quando escrevi. é um mistério pra mim e já me deixou em apuros diversas vezes
