I would sooner use Windows before using Fedora

Why?

You would be vulnerable on Windows, if you were running CUPS, which you probably are not. But CUPS is not tied to Linux, and is used commonly on e.g. BSDs, and Apple has their own fork for MacOS (have not heard anything about it being vulnerable though).

Wait, which list of filtered IPs are you even talking about? The list in the article is a list of unique kernel versions, not IPs.

I'm not sure why you say it's "artificially" inflated. Non-linux systems are also affected.

this will affect almost nobody

Is that really true? From https://www.evilsocket.net/2024/09/26/Attacking-UNIX-systems-via-CUPS-Part-I/

Full disclosure, I’ve been scanning the entire public internet IPv4 ranges several times a day for weeks, sending the UDP packet and logging whatever connected back. And I’ve got back connections from hundreds of thousands of devices, with peaks of 200-300K concurrent devices.

The point is, it's not at all clear, because Github has it's own definition of what "fork" means. I'm honestly not sure why it's so hard to grasp.

Tying "fork" to "repositories" is nonsense, because software forks have existed longer thsn e.g. git.

How do you define "repository", such that it makes sense? Is it only Git repositories? Any version control system? How about a .zip-file placed on an FTP server?

Can you fix dictionary.com as well?

Computers. to copy the source code from (a piece of software) and develop a new version independently, resulting in two unique pieces of software

Thst's not at all how it works. The definitions made in the TOS do not "leak" out of said TOS (unless the TOS specifies that, which it does not).

So you also agree that copying is not forking as it is commonly understood?

Do you then claim that the license refers ro "fork" as defined in a specific service's TOS (without referencing said servixe at all)?

Otherwise I don't see how you can come to the conclusion that "forking" in the license does not also necessify modification (which is what the common meaning is).

An article exactly about how Github misuses the word "fork": https://drewdevault.com/2019/05/24/What-is-a-fork.html

Why on earth would the license use Github's very niche definition? "Forking" as a software concept has been around for decades longer than Github or it's "fork" button has existed.

Also, how about reading the full psragraph?

You may not create, maintain, or distribute a forked version of the software.

(emphasis mine). It only does what you think it does if forking = copying. Which it doesn't.

Question to you: Github provides a button labeled "Download ZIP" for downloading a .zip-file containing the source. If I press that button, am I in your opinion creating a fork?

 

Volt Suomi on paneurooppalainen liike: emme näe Euroopan unionin liittovaltiokehitystä uhkana, vaan suorastaan mahdollisuutena ratkaista meidän eurooppalaisten yhteisiä ongelmia. Voltissa on näkyvillä myös sen edistyksellisyys – emme jämähdä menneisyyteen, vaan pysymme ajassa mukana ja tähtäämme tulevaisuuteen. Haluamme olla mukana ylläpitämässä ja kehittämässä päätöksenteon demokraattisuutta, ihmisten tasa-arvoa ja sekä heidän vaikuttamismahdollisuuksiaan.

Jos on sitä mieltä että puoluekenttä tarvitsee vähän ravistelua, niin kannattaa allekirjoittaa riippumatta siitä mitä mieltä puolueesta on. Koska Volt on yleiseurooppalainen puolue, on todennäköistä että tänne suomeenkin voi virrata uusia ideoita ja tapoja tehdä politiikkaa.

Käykää samalla kannattamassa muitakin potentiaalisia puolueita.

edit: Jaahas, huomasin vasta nyt että kun postaa Lemmyyn niin voi antaa linkin TAI kuva, ei molempia. Eli tarkoittamani linkki jäikin puuttumaan. Onneksi pystyy muokkamaan jälkikäteen (mikä tosin on kyllä vähän epäilyttävä ominaisuus noin muuten)
