Maybe I'm lucky. My employer encourages the use of AI, but no one expects me to ship 10x faster, just because AI types faster – coding never was a bottleneck.

Re 1: No, I don’t run paid internet services, only free ones. I just think it’s silly when people distribute software and pretend it’s free software but slap an anti-commercial-use EULA on it.

Not lying: The AGPL plainly violates freedom 0.

Your initial question had your ungrounded assumption/opinion embedded in it. I did the same to you. Not the thing I usually do.

Your reasoning has plenty of strawman arguments and opinions. Starting from SaaS is not software, to how AGPL is impossible to comply with, because when you commit, the source goes out of sync with the running code.

IMO you still miss the point of GPL: it's to protect users.

As soon as you start offering your software (as a service or otherwise), you become a vendor. AGPL then is not for you, it's for users you're serving.

Finally, to enforceability. The only enforceable laws in our world have always been laws of physics. Everything else is a social construct, which, depending on your social status and immediate surrounding, applies to you at various degrees (sometimes not at all). All the laws produced by society only align our common expectations, but none is absolutely enforceable.

IMO, AGPL is the best idealistic scenario for end users. And society would only win if the expectations set by AGPL became the norm.

Why the nonfree AGPL? Are you seriously worried that someone is going to fork this and make money with it, given that anyone else could vibe code another one in a few hours?

1. Why do you ask? Do you intend forking and making money out of it?

2. Why are you lying about AGPL being nonfree? As far as I'm concerned, it is free as in free speech for me as a user. This was the initial goal of the GPL. The freedom of the end user is the main value of the GPL family of licenses. So serious question: why are you lying? Is it intentional, or due to your lack of understanding?

I'll say one good thing in hindsight about Elop. He's not all over the Epstein files like another MS executive of the era.

Edit: Wow, I tried to be discrete and not mention him by name but I notice every time I mention Steven Sinofsky was close to Epstein I get downvoted a lot here. Look at this one I found searching for "elop" for example: https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA006576...

I'm not really sure how Epstein files are related to Elop making a malicious (some say, stupid, but I don't believe it) decision. But I'm gonna use this argument from now on, relevant or not.

– they dropped production – at least they are not in Epstein files, like some other people

– they drove over speed limit! - at least they are not in Epstein files

"Burning the boats," in the form of getting rid of Jolla (and whatever happened to Meego) is one of those management aphorisms that needs to die. As it turns out, having an alternative to Windows phone would've been a better decision. No guarantee of success, but less of an irrecoverable failure at least. Where is that Elop guy now?

from the article : > This might seem silly. The user interface of URLs? Who types in or edits URLs by hand? But keyboards are still the most efficient entry device.

Can someone let Apple know this ? Safari URL bar is a disaster. If I edit a URL say to remove a part and hit enter 9/10 times it searches the internet.

It seems to forget that it's a url it's displaying despite it cutting the front off, even after telling it to use long urls in address bar. It's so annyoing I actually use another browser since I often need to paste in or modify urls for the work I do. Safari sucks hard. Any solutions to disabling 'search' in the address bar ? I want it to be a URL bar only, and anythign typed in it should be resolved and not searched.

You can let Apple know by not buying their products

When my company first started pushing for devs to use AI, the most senior guy on my team was pretty vocal about coding not being the bottleneck that slowed down work. It was an I/O issue, and maybe a caching issue as well from too many projects going at the same time with no focus… which also makes the I/O issues worse.

This reads a lot like bargaining stage. If agentic AI makes me a 10 times more productive developer, surely a 4% improvement is barely worth the token cost.

I'm not sure what you are suggesting exactly, but wanted to highlight this humongous "if".

Or, the comments are also AIs.

Even on the original PR some (not the sharpest) people argued in favor of the agent.

Then commit your prompt to a git repository.

Gosh, LLMs been a thing only for a few years, but people became stupid already.
