I think people here might be more conscious of what they post, due to the relatively low quantity of things being posted here. On larger platforms, what you write is more likely to be overlooked, so people care less.

Bocchi the Rock!
I feel like I could ask ChatGPT to "write a fairy tale about Nix" to get the exact same article.
Congrats! Good luck not pooping.
Like $XDG_CONFIG_HOME and $XDG_DATA_HOME?
Is it just me or do large portions of this article feel AI-generated?
But anyone with access to source code licensed under GPL can legally redistribute said source code. One of the fundamental freedoms is that if you are given GPL-licensed source code, you can modify and redistribute it as much as you like.
I think the real problem might be that some of the work from Red Hat doesn't fall under the GPL, hence this wouldn't apply, but I'm not sure.
Or what if they only distribute it to companies that sign an agreement not to redistribute? Then they have the right to redistribute according to the GPL, but if they do, Red Hat will kick them out. This would seem like a way to circumvent the fundamental ideas behind the GPL and free software. If they do this, I can no longer be supportive of Red Hat in any way, and will likely have to distro-hop away from Fedora due to this misalignment of ideology.
Some additional information from Rocky Linux and Alma Linux, since many people (including me) are confused about the implications of this:
https://rockylinux.org/news/2023-06-22-press-release/ https://almalinux.org/blog/impact-of-rhel-changes/
Interestingly, Rocky Linux claims to be largely unaffected by this, while Alma Linux is desperately looking for alternative solutions.
It seems like no one really knows what the implications are, and we will just have to wait and see.
It's good when looking for something obscure that you can't find on reputable websites. Just be aware that anything can be found on these websites, including bad things. The websites are legit, but they collect any torrent they can find without doing any kind of screening. This is both good and bad.
This is very annoying, because it makes it hard for other peers to connect with my server and it will make it harder to seed. This is bad, I will likely switch next year.
The fact that W3C defines the protocol doesn't stop large companies from doing whatever they want. Have a look at Google: their web browser has become so widely adopted that Google effectively controls what is considered part of the spec, not W3C.
If Meta's platform grows to become the biggest fediverse project, they will control the spec and others will either have to follow, or risk dropping out. This is just like how Firefox is forced to follow Google to ensure all websites work properly on Firefox, even if these sites don't comply with the spec.
It is possible to decrypt L3 by dumping keys from an android device. Several guides and tools can be found here: https://cdm-project.com/How-To.
I have done this successfully in the past, but it is far from easy.
As an alternative for using an Android device with some hacking tools, you can use https://getwvkeys.cc/, but you need to sign up and get accepted.
