FOSS programmers, what do you think of horrible people using your software? (lemmy.world)

I just learned that Nmap is almost GPL except that they revoked the license specifically for SCO group for their SCO–Linux disputes.

This got me thinking, what do open source programmers think of evil companies or horrible people using their software?

Don't get me wrong, FOSS software by its nature can't be controlled or strictly prevented of being used. But in case of companies like SCO, that is a thing that at least can cause them headache and they risk getting into legal trouble. A programmer for example can modify GPL to make so that his software can't be used by Microsoft or Facebook, but it is GPL for everybody else.

I found out that this tool http://www.convertlit.com/ provides a program with a funny name. I wonder if there are similar programs with offensive names or puns like this one. For example, I remember reading a fortune output saying something along the lines of

man Why did you get divorced? 
man: Too many arguments.

And of course, there is the cliche touch grass.

It'd be interesting to find similar one for the Fediverse.

What is the most destroying command you can type in the Linux terminal? by zephyr in c/[email protected]
[-] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Everyone is talking about rm -rf / and damage to storage drives, but I read somewhere about EFI variables having something to do with bricking the computer. If this is possible, then it's a lot more damage than just disk drives.

Edit: this is interesting SE post https://superuser.com/questions/313850

Vim keybindings aren't memorization as much as they are muscle memory.

Accent colors are now a standard preference for Linux by zephyr in c/[email protected]

Nice. This feature is similar to Android wallpaper color theming.

And I thought Xorg already had this feature in Xresources, but apps do not respect it.

Trust no one. Not because you're paranoid, but because you don't need to.

Trust no one and just use KeePassXC.

YSK - X percent of Y is equal to Y percent of X. So, if you want to find out what 7% of 50 is, you could instead find out what 50% of 7 is, which is 3.5. This means that 7% of 50 is also equal to 3.5. by zephyr in c/[email protected]
[-] [email protected] 24 points 2 years ago

Percentage is just a fancy form of decimal point. I just multiply them together then move decimal digit to the left twice.
