Delete Chrome.

I would use Organic Maps if OSM supported entering UK postcodes in the search box. Can’t wait to stop using Google Maps.

> Charles looks healthy, he has the muscle mass most women prefer (…)

> In most people's opinion, the first woman is thin (look at the frailness of her arms) and the second woman is fit.

This normativity is gross.

I'm not saying it's right or wrong, I'm just saying that's what led to where we are today.

That’s fair, sorry, I read too much into what you were saying!

Had another country had a primary role in inventing the internet, they would probably have it (or more likely, the US would be .gov.us and everyone else would be whatever they are today).

I don’t understand this argument. Are you saying the internet should be organised in a way that benefits the US, even if it is confusing for people in other countries? By your reasoning, it would make sense for .com to be US-exclusive because the US had a primary role in inventing the internet. Let’s pause to ask ourselves “what is an actually good system?” instead of “how can we justify US privilege?”.

Always found it arbitrary that .gov is only for use by the US.

This is very cute, not sure how I missed this. I never liked the aesthetics of the XML that shows up when you click an RSS feed. Will make some time to style my websites' feeds soon. :)

Honestly, I have a desktop app that I have grand designs to release, but even though it's a desktop app, I'm thinking of using AGPL for it.

Simply, there are services and facilities that are wrapped in a GUI that could readily be lifted and plopped into a "service", so just seems that AGPL would be better.

Not sure if that's a good idea or not.

vladharbuz · 2 years ago
I’m going through the exact same thought process, also working on a desktop app, also using AGPL.
