Copy left is very much not communist. Get out of here with that tankie rhetoric

i don't actually think copyleft is communist per se, but i dig that you're somehow mad about my joke - the intended butt of which was people who (typically disparagingly) insist that it is 😂

yep, since it's under a "copyleft" (communist) software license that's how it has to be.

yep, the concept of a "personal carbon footprint" was literally invented by an advertising agency working for British Petroleum https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/aug/23/big-oil-coined-carbon-footprints-to-blame-us-for-their-greed-keep-them-on-the-hook

You can use this design, but if you want it to accommodate 3½-inch disks you'll need to scale it down to two thirds of its specified size before printing it.

Does your computer have a floppy drive? You might be able to find a copy of this at a secondhand store:

Picture of a floppy disk with an official-looking Microsoft product label with the text: The Internet / On a Disc / * Surf quickly and easily with no need for ISPs / * Millions and millions of websites on one 3½'' disc / * Take The Internet with you wherever you go - it fits in your pocket!

I wish we’d stop calling them “exploding batteries”. The battery isn’t the explosive, it’s the explosives that were hidden in the device.

Do you want to stop calling them exploding pagers too? How about other exploding things? And what should https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Lebanon_pager_explosions be renamed to? Maybe 2024 Lebanon explosions of explosives inside of pagers? 🙄

Their resignation is already being discussed in another post here from yesterday: One Of The Rust Linux Kernel Maintainers Steps Down - Cites "Nontechnical Nonsense"

...but I think this LWN reporting (from back in June) deserves its own post as it makes it easier for those of us who are not kernel hackers to follow what is going on.
