  • I saw a maker the other day that released his plans on his project with a non-commercial license. He later found it was being sold on Amazon. He contacted an attorney friend of his, the attorneys said that the maker licensees are only truly effective on art.

    If it’s a physical functional product, you have very little in the way of legal protection from a creative common license, which kind of sucks because the proper legal method would then be patent, but that puts us in the same scenario that you can’t copy it for a non-profit.

    Damnit, this is pretty damn accurate. My wife often complains, “We can’t do that on Wednesday, we’re already doing x on Wednesday.” I’m quick to point out that those two things are hours apart and minutes away from each other.

    I guess that’s more an internalization that she’s out of spoons

    I do too! Most of us do to some extent. If I can right click on a network icon in my taskbar and get an IP, that’s cake!

    But then, it doesn’t work on my friends box, and it’s no there after an update, and when I search for how to do it all I see is the way it used to work or i’m told it’s somewhere that doesn’t even seem to exist.

    Gui’s change, vendor to vendor, update to update, they’re poorly documented, and have the most chance of being wrong or missing features.

    Use your GUI’s as long as they give you what you need, but learn your CLI, because it almost never changes, is well documented and works for you and all your new friends that have abandoned windows no matter which linuxy way they went.
