Yeah, they’re mostly bits of hardware that turn ttl/serial into a USB device. Then you can use minicom or dterm to connect to the host. Mostly used for embedded development, but also useful for debugging servers that are not connecting to the network without having to lug a keyboard and screen.
After they’re connected, if they speak vt110, your terminal emulator can display everything properly
Red Bull, Aston Martin, Kick Sauber?
The US customary units are officially defined on top of metric, and 1 fl oz is 29.5735295625 mL, but an oz is 28.349523125 g. I imagine this decision was just to fuck with people (since 1ml of water weighs 1g at sea level, at 4°)
I use edge for the edge case when websites don’t work after changing the user agent
I actually don’t know how many programs do this, but several check that file permissions are correct or refuse to work. Sudo and ash are 2 of them. I could see /etc/shadow being readable and writable by everyone being a problem too, but I don’t know.
Firefox did it like 10 years ago. I think it’s still going around under a different name in very low tier smart phones.
Find me where it says you can’t charge or that you have to distribute source code to anyone
As not a lawyer, I’m actually not sure that cancelling the subscription is allowed by the gpl, given that it established that there can be no additional (outside of the license) conditions to share the code. I’d like to see it discussed in court, but I’m not sure interested parties have enough lawyer money for it.
I don’t think it’s necessarily a good move but you’re wrong hon several places, like:
they are BOUND BY THE GPL to freely share and distribute that code.
No they aren’t. The GPL doesn’t mention anything about price, and they’re only forced to share source code with the people they distribute software to.
They got it for free, they have to pass it on for free
They have paid for plenty of oss code
How is nuclear fossil?
I don’t understand this comment. Are you saying it’s only fine to dodge the draft when rock people do it?
I don’t get this comment. Gnome is not trying to make a walled garden, and Microsoft has taken every chance they get at making walled gardens (Windows phone, windows 8 arm, various proprietary file formats and protocols), they just haven’t been very successful at it.
