People forget that compilers used to be commonly proprietary and commercially licensed. Heck, I’m born on the 90s and knew that 😂

So so glad free and open source software took over though

And people thought 14 years of copyright was too short… you play capitalist games of granting virtually infinite monopolies (trademarks are incredibly effective at restricting the public domain), as property to sell and trade to the highest bidders, the public domain be damned, and you get capitalist prizes like massive layoffs and unemployment and a deteriorating, corporation-owned culture

AGPL? Google has a ban on all AGPL software. Sounds like if you write AGPL software, corporations won’t steal it.

Code licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL) MUST NOT be used at Google.

The license places restrictions on software used over a network which are extremely difficult for Google to comply with. Using AGPL software requires that anything it links to must also be licensed under the AGPL. Even if you think you aren’t linking to anything important, it still presents a huge risk to Google because of how integrated much of our code is. The risks heavily outweigh the benefits.

Any FLOSS license that makes a corporation shit its pants like this is good enough to start from IMO.

If it’s only internal then technically the internal users should have access to the source code. Only the people who receive the software get the rights and freedoms of the GPL, no one else.

You are beautiful

Oh Steam Machines are so back

Hopefully these new gamedev unions join them.

ACK

The one on the right should be labeled “full-stack dev” because that’s like 80% of them and they write in C# and Angular 😂

I wouldn’t say JavaScript is horrible, it’s a fine little language to do general things in if you know JS well. I would say, though, that it is not a great language. Give me F# and I’m happy forever. I do not like typescript that much more than JS.

The CEO of Baldur’s Gate 3 has spoken

underrated

GitLab isn’t open source, and certainly isn’t an open project first — they have a sales team, a marketing team, and a budget who does not account for getting new dev users

Yeah but it’d be nice to be able to have that kind of content available without it being tied to cops is all

No i mean literally all of the ncpd gigs 😂 i don’t mind helping out that guy, he’s not a cop anymore

Would love if it made it possible to do all the content without helping cops 😑

It’s quoting the source who used that specific term

Compile times say otherwise

F# definitely and maybe Haskell and OCaml as well? Elixir and Erlang use it as a binary concatenation operator.
