I think it’s important to consider that the GNU General Public License is really only a part of the Free Software Movement, which is “An effort by a group of people to achieve a social or political goal”. That movement is defined by a group of people and a goal and has “infrastructure”, such as “The Free Software Foundation” (“a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization”). “The idea of the Free Software Movement is that computer users deserve the freedom to form a community”, but if you want to accomplish a different goal, it might be useful to clearly communicate that goal to other people to create a different movement (and create new “infrastructure” to support your effort).

Changing only a part of the GNU General Public License might make it incoherent or otherwise a hindrance to your goal in a way that you might not expect. It might be better to focus on talking with other people about a goal of yours, and you might discover that you can be most effective without investing any energy in creating a new license for software, but if you determine that creating a new license is important you can create a comprehensive design for one to match your efforts more closely.

It seems that your goal might be summarized with “I want people to be able to help themselves (using software) without contributing to spreading hate” (“putting a motion in the positive is a rule in parliamentary procedures”).

See also “Chesterton’s Lamp-Post” (a suggestion to only start to act when you actually know what you want the final result to be) and “Chesterton’s fence” (a suggestion to not change things when you don’t know what the final result will be) for some context about what an undesirable design/plan is.

What is an example of “plain-text code”, or of someone fainting at the sight of it?

The Java® Language Specification explains that “Programs are written in Unicode”, which can reasonably be described as “Plain Text”, but I would be surprised to see someone fainting at the sight of one.

Doesn’t git status tell you what to do?

use “git add <file>…” to mark resolution

use “git commit” to conclude merge

I always use git status to check what is appropriate before doing anything else, since the right thing to do can sometimes be different, like after using git rebase when a break command was used vs when a squash command resulted in a conflict.

I found https://daily.jstor.org/the-invention-of-incarceration/ by using https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ftsa&q=punishment+before+prison&ia=web

My assumption before even reading that was: I expect it’s because people wanted a punishment that wasn’t a monetary fine, corporal punishment, enslavement, death, or “death but we’ll pretend to not see you running away, and we might pardon you in 10 years, but if we see you before then we’ll kill you” (exile). I knew those were the only punishments in ancient Rome (and people weren’t held for long before facing a trial), and it seems that not much had changed until the idea of long term incarceration was conceived: https://romanempiretimes.com/crime-and-punishment-in-ancient-rome-justice-and-inequality/ https://factsanddetails.com/world/cat56/sub408/entry-6360.html

If you’re coming here and asserting they don’t exist

I don’t think “his “dark team”” doesn’t exist, because people that you are probably referring to are named the news article this discussion is based on.

Were you referring to “The Young, Inexperienced Engineers Aiding Elon Musk’s Government Takeover” using the words “unidentified people”?

I also haven’t found anywhere Elon Musk expressed having a “dark team” (though they might have expressed something similar using different words): https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ftsa&q=“dark+team”+musk&ia=web

Your comments are confusing. Who are you referring to using the words “unidentified people”?

When I use https://archive.is/YAmss#selection-729.0-729.118 I see a list of names of engineers, which is surely a list of “The Young, Inexperienced Engineers Aiding Elon Musk’s Government Takeover”.

I think this is relevant: https://news.cs.washington.edu/2013/08/14/chicken-chicken-chicken-chicken-chicken/

I wouldn’t recommend that, since it’s likely that anyone who could register with Signal using the same phone number could harm your ability to communicate with other people reliably, and I don’t have many reasons to maintain a VoIP telephone number: https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2022/11/10/signal-number-registration-update/

If someone gets a new phone number from their carrier, they should not be prevented from registering with Signal indefinitely because the previous owner has reglock.

The intention of reglock is to prevent hijacking of numbers you actually own, not to guarantee the number for yourself for life.

While this change makes sense from the perspective of making it so you cannot “hold a number hostage” as long as you keep checking in, it is particularly important for people who’ve used disposable phone numbers to know this.

I found that URL from https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2022/07/07/signal-configuration-and-hardening/ which I found from https://www.privacyguides.org/en/real-time-communication/

There is some documentation that supports this idea, like https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360007059792-Signal-PIN

Enabling a registration lock triggers a 7-day inactivity timer if your number is registered on another device.

Registration Lock expires after 7 days of inactivity.

After 7 days of inactivity, a new PIN can be created. The old PIN and information associated with it are no longer available.

I also recall that Mental Outlaw discussed this in the past, but I have failed to find where.

I don’t feel weird if I’m just walking around in front of my home. I occasionally forget to bring a phone with me when I go outside, but if I remember I’ll go back and get one.

If I managed to get to a grocery store or bus stop without a phone, I would probably feel stupid and still do whatever I wanted to do outside, but then go directly home rather than doing another errand.

I have no problem with staring into space or looking around rather than looking at a phone. I have mobile data, but I rarely use it nowadays, and I only have one somewhat boring game application installed on my phone.

I don’t go to many places, and it’s even rarer for me to travel through multiple municipalities, so I just remember how to get to the places I often want to go, and if I was going to a distant location I’d be even more likely to notice if I forgot my phone since I’d probably want to set up navigation before leaving. I use OsmAnd for navigation so it’s not a problem if I don’t have access to the internet, and I’m used to navigating without using the internet so navigating entirely without a phone is probably easier for me than for some people.

It seems there aren’t any exact replacements, but this probably lists service providers to consider: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/email/

Are you sure there is no shelter available? It seems there will be at least one that is less than 30 minutes away by car: https://www.msb.se/en/advice-for-individuals/civil-defence-shelters-evacuation-and-warning-systems/good-to-know-about-civil-defence-shelters/ https://msbgis.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/nearby/index.html?appid=8bfc89e7c6064bc181c6a1a6bbac2fa3&sliderDistance=1

There is “space for around seven million people” and Sweden’s population is about 10.6 million, and the availability of shelters seems to match the population distribution pretty closely. You could at least let your neighbors know that they can have your space in a shelter (since there might be about 3.6 million people who won’t fit in shelters), or show up anyway in order to help carry away any materials that were being stored in a shelter in peacetime, or to help get food or water into a shelter.

That is not obvious from only looking at https://sh.itjust.works/post/29452661

I already expressed that quickly getting an exit status that isn’t 0 after an issue is encountered is probably useful.

I can imagine that someone would find a program like this to be useful, and depends on the presently common behavior of zcat, so I expect this is an important part of a system used by a corporation I interact with (and probably many more than I’d expect):

if
    zcat ./file.txt.gz >/dev/null
then
    process_file ./file.txt.gz
else
    printf '%s\n' "There was a decimal exit status of ${?}"
fi

A failure to understand whether something is useful is not a good reason to change it.

An interesting perspective I heard about is “affordability”. To describe that with my own words: if your income is stable or will grow compared to your housing costs, and housing costs are not burdensome to you, housing is affordable to you. Owning a house rather than having a lease should make your housing costs vary less, so if housing costs will go up in the future it might be useful to buy a house (but if housing costs will go down in the future it might not be useful to buy a house). I found some graphs for “Affordability”: https://dqydj.com/historical-home-affordability/ https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FIXHAI

I have also heard that it’s hard to find people to do repair work in some places, and that people there charge a lot of money for their services. If you have trouble finding someone who you can pay just to produce a quote for a roof repair, the actual cost of housing will probably be higher than in other places.

I had a thought after looking at this post: I expect that it’s better to own land in places that are more likely for people to want to move to or work near.
