Zulip still has cuck licensing (permissive license). Same thing that happened to mattermost will happen to all permissively licensed projects.


Damn that’s cool. But I’m imagining putting this mental model on top of vim and window manager and tmux will really fry my brain! More power to you


This looks super cool but what is the usecase? Isn’t it too limited?



I dont know what keyboard lineageOS uses by default but that and “unexpected keyboard” work great for me.



The reflections in the mirror are off, reinforcing the sense of surrealism.


The compatibility stuff really do need understanding.

You can’t use all other projects in your GPL project and your GPL project cant be used within every project.

permissive licenses really do have no compatibility since they forbid nothing and allow everything (which isnt good most of the time) so tgey are simpler to use.


This is the most american thing I’ve seen in a while 😂


I’m not sure but theres something in my mind bout MIT being the first suggested license for github.

and also, to be real, you need to do some reasearch and actually understand the GPL license if you want to use it for your project. But with MIT you can just slap it on there and forget. It’s convenient, but like a lot of conveniences, can be very bad.


I think a part of it may be that they are from the younger generation like myself, and most of them don’t really know the history of software and FOSS, and MIT is just a safe option for them. I think they haven’t really put in the time to read and undertstand the philosophy and logic behind FOSS and read the licenses and writings.


People suggest matrix but matrix really doesnt replace mattermost for an org.

mattermost is oriented towards org needs. It has boards, playbooks, better levels of access control. Admin panels etc.

We really need a sane Slack alternative that is at least fully free for self hosting.




It’s just so powerful and versatile. I’ve been only using it for less than a year, but you can do most things with clojure, and do them good.

GUI, Web backend, frontend, logic programminc, scripting, CLI tools, and so on.

After you get the hang of it and REPL driven development, your productivity keeps getting more.

One thing that makes me really believe in it is how people that are good with it are so productive with it, I would say more that other languages. There are so many great projects built by a small team or solo devs in clojure.



Mattermost is indeed, a dick. They try to leech off of contributors like many of corporate focused open source products do.


I think for most people and normal users, its the most important part of a system.

I’m a software engineer and I’ve been using only i3wm and sway for the past 3 years. I don’t really need a DE. But when I do (very,very rarely) I always prefer Xfce, and after that, Plasma.


I would also suggest Clojure as his next language. not as popular as go or kotlin but its hinestly magical.
