Networking is the best way to get a job. If you aren’t going to meetups or making connections, it’s going to be much harder for you to find a job.

I say this as a very extreme introvert so I know the pain.

Excellent gaslighting.

No notes.

🤌

Reading your comments man is a fucking rollercoaster. Blaming the victim and then turning around and moving the goal posts.

I mean, God damn. Just add a bit of gaslighting and you could legit become famous. Probably not for good reasons but famous nonetheless.

I’m calling this right now: Trump and the GOP are going to pass a law guaranteeing the government will underwrite insurance policies for all Teslas, just like they do with national flood insurance.

This is essentially what Mozilla is doing but providing a legal framework for all open source projects.

As an open source developer, my initial reaction is that this isn’t good. You’re just shifting the problem. Your code remains open source so if you have a python or JavaScript library that doesn’t require compiling, you can’t use this.

Not only that, but FOSS requires you to provide build instructions for your binaries. Someone can clone your repository and run it through CI/CD and have a binary.

I’m willing to be proven wrong here.

I’ve seen only one method work well: strong copyleft FOSS licenses like AGPL that essentially make it impossible for a company like Amazon from profiting off your code without a separate agreement.

You could add a non-commercial clause to your open source license. I can’t find the one that I used to use back in the day but essentially the goal is to augment whatever license you use by attaching a preamble that dictates how the software can be used.

Attaching that clause does push the software out of FOSS and into source available since you are restricting who can use the software, which is why I stopped using it.

Edit: found the clause I used to use back in the day. I don’t personally recommend it over more copy left licenses.

Mozilla’s new TOU only covers pre built Firefox executables, not the source code.

Librewolf and Waterfox are good forks that would not be bound to the TOU.

Doing the Lord’s work right here. I absolutely cannot stand screenshots of desktop apps.

Mobile screenshots will be readable on both mobile and desktop.

But desktop screenshots are only readable on desktop.
