I never heard about Everett True before Lemmy, and I love it.

I don’t recognise one of them.

What was fmovies? Some streaming sites?

These things are come and go, but old ways of the warez are still working. I remember one of my classmates taught me how to torrent more than 20 years ago. I had to change trackers and cliens during the years, but I never had to think about things like this because the workflow will always be the same.

Soulseek is still up there since 2003.

Who is pat? I guess it’s Patrick Volkerding, bdfl of slackware.

The diagram is the search interest for the “new” name? There is a new movie titled similarly. (I don’t follow superhero movies since Superman 3. That was perfect, I’m not interested in new developments.)

What is an EA?

So it means something like “Please do not use this for paid warez, I don’t want DMCA this repo”. Makes more sense.

But sooner or later someone will do it, I don’t see that single sentence will stop a get quick buck script kiddie from an undisclosed eastern european country…

How is it MIT licensed and “NON-COMMERCIAL USE ONLY”. You can’t have both.

This is misleading, because if you search for MIT licensed software this will show up, but it’s not that. Limiting commercial use means it’s not even considered open source but just source available

If you tell this joke in a linux community, its funny. If you tell it to someone who doesnt know what linux is, its not

download movie -> watch movie -> seed it for a while, at least some days -> delete

I have like 10 movies saved for archival, because it was hard to find them

Gratis and libre used usually to differenciate the terms: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gratis_versus_libre

Both of them are latin words so I expect they show up in similar forms in most European languages. Free is a Germanic origin word.

In Hungarian we use the word Gratis as well with Hungarian spelling: “Grátisz” even though Hungarian is not an Indo-European language. Libre is not used in common speech here.

I don’t get what @Freeman@lemmings.world wanted to say

Ich kann nicht sprachen deutch sehr gut. wdym, what is the original german meaning?

He speaks about free in “free software”. not a general meaning.

But the meme says “free software” and implies that the real “free software” alternatives (linux, gimp, blender and friends) are shitty, and they are used only because of their price. These are not “free software” alternatives, but gratis software alternatives, or freeware alternatives. that is my problem.

No, they are not free, they are gratis alternatives.

“Free software” is one term, and it’s meaning was defined in 1986 by RMS. Non of these software existed that time.

The word “free” in our name does not refer to price; it refers to freedom. First, the freedom to copy a program and redistribute it to your neighbors, so that they can use it as well as you. Second,** the freedom to change a program, so that you can control it instead of it controlling you; for this, the source code must be made available to you.**

Manjaro should have its own even lower tier

They wear out if you write data on them, reading doesnt matter. if you just need them for install, you just write once and you can install the same arch on millions of computers

I’m a big fan of most of the teachings of RMS, but his views on sexuality are a bit questionable. Parrots are ok though

The parrot story from 2010:

A parrot once had sex with me. I did not recognize the act as sex until it was explained to me afterward, but being stroked on the hand by his soft belly feathers was so pleasurable that I yearn for another chance. I have a photo of that act; should I go to prison for it?
