They’re asking for TV manufacturers to block a VPN app in the TV. Not to block VPN in general.

Dude, if you’re being obtuse on purpose because you have an ax to grind against Rust, try a different approach. You’re not getting anywhere, clearly by the fact that no one agrees with you.

If you don’t like that Rust has a restricted trademark, then call that out instead of trying to label the software and it’s license as non-free. It’s literally called out in my source that name restrictions ipso facto does not violate freedom 3.

But if you genuinely believe that the implementation of the Rust language and it’s trademark is burdensome to create a fork, and you want people to believe you, then you gotta bring receipts. Remember, the benchmark that we both quoted is that it “effectively hampers you from releasing your changes”. It being “not a piece of cake” doesn’t cut it.

Hint: Google Rust forks since their existence also undermines your claim.

Good luck.

Rules about how to package a modified version are acceptable, if they don’t substantively limit your freedom to release modified versions, or your freedom to make and use modified versions privately. Thus, it is acceptable for the license to require that you change the name of the modified version, remove a logo, or identify your modifications as yours. As long as these requirements are not so burdensome that they effectively hamper you from releasing your changes, they are acceptable; you’re already making other changes to the program, so you won’t have trouble making a few more.

If you are being intentional about its use, then you can get a lot out of it. But for some, maybe even most, YouTube is a distraction.

Yes it can be an issue because the GPS doesn’t know where you are and thinks you are on an aboveground street. Freeway tunnels can have multiple exits too.

I disagree. I think the default option should be what users expect, and users expect “copy” to do exactly that: copy without modifying the text.

I think Tumblr’s brand just got ruined. They were known for their nsfw material and now they don’t know what else to do with their lack of users.

Yes but karma makes it worse. It incentivizes getting getting upvotes because you don’t want to “ruin” your karma. Expressing controversial opinions, even if they don’t generate downvotes, are discouraged with karma. Even OP says he gets a dopamine hit by seeing the karma number go up.

I don’t like karma. It incentivizes short, meme-y posts since those are things that get gets a lot of karma.

It’s not about what it is today but what it can be. I agree that there are a bunch of problems, but the future does look bright.
