I agree with this. The new definition of "open source" has been crafted out of malice. _Anyone_ new to programming runs into this confusion, and that's evidence in itself.

As a lay person, I still don't get what is AGPL missing that makes vendors "invent" so many new licenses and spawn so much debate? Why not just use AGPL, and if it's insufficient, invest in an AGPLv2 initiative?
MinIO made their source AGPL, but then cloud providers hosted the service "as is" and make money off it, with MinIO team getting zip. That still complies with AGPL but is not monetarily beneficial to the MinIO team.
At least that's my understanding. They closed source completely, but a source-available license wouldn't have run into this issue.
I would bet significant money that, within two years, it will become Generally Obvious that Apple has the best consumer AI story among any tech company.
I can explain more in-depth reasoning, but the most critical point: Apple builds the only platform where developers can construct a single distributable that works on mobile and desktop with standardized, easy access to a local LLM, and a quarter million people buy into this platform every year. The degree to which no one else on the planet is even close to this cannot be understated.

You can do that right now, on the stock market. Sometimes it's good to put your money where your mouth is, that forces you to correct your world view.
Forbidden? They should be mandatory.

Would love to see something for diff views (e.g. side-by-side/unified). I mostly program through CLI agents, and so seeing the changes it makes is probably the primary thing I use the editor for, these days.

So why exactly did they close source, what were they losing by having AGPL? I thought AGPL + selling private licenses to corps was a fantastic method of getting some income for an open source offering.

It is also useful to remember that MinIO has historically held to an absurd interpretation of the AGPL -- that it spreads (again, according to them) to software that communicates with MinIO via the REST API/CLI.
I assume forks, and software that uses them will be held to the same requirements.
I thought that literally was the point of AGPL. If not, what's the difference between it and GPL3?
This habit of making advertising repos on github confounds many.

The difference is that I don’t use standard XDG directories because I loathe dot-files, loathe hidden directories, and so I declare my own environment variables to put everything where I want.
Then Firefox (and ansible, and many others) comes barreling in dropping an unconfigurable dot-directory in my fucking home folder ignoring the perfectly good XDG variables I have set.
It is a constant struggle to stop my home folder from not feeling like my home. Developers ought to learn some fucking respect.
Perhaps you should've started to launch your shell in "~/home" instead of "~". Now your home is 1 level down, and the only downside is typing "/home" after the tilde.
The simple reality is that advanced medical care is expensive.
Access to advanced medical care can either by gated by one person's wealth or by the average wealth of many people.
At the end of the day though, someone is paying and the only way to actually cost reduce is too have worse treatment.
The actual reason is that you'll have people going to see the doctor because their cheek's itchy (they're lonely, or clueless).
