I'd opine that the MIT license has no requirements about avoiding ambiguity. That's kind of its thing, it's as unobtrusive as possible and minimizes the amount of having to think about license compliance minefields.

And incidentally they have done quite a bit to avoid ambiguity, in readme.md:

License

Forgejo is distributed under the terms of the GPL version 3.0 or any later version.

The agreement for this license was documented in June 2023 and implemented during the development of Forgejo v9.0. All Forgejo versions before v9.0 are distributed under the MIT license.

though they also distribute binary-only copies.. the main website even recommends downloading the binary. not even a tarball, just the plain binary. which even in old versions don't contain an MIT license at all. Even a hexdump of the binary does not contain any representation of the MIT text. I think that's actually an MIT license violation?

the MIT copyright notice is still present with all copies of MIT licensed code, I don't see the problem?

with another OS nix is not going to be "in control" so it's probably more limited. I'm not sure how common using nix is outside of nixos.

also I'll point out that many other linux distros I think recommend doing a full system backup even immediately after installation, the "grep history" thing is not very stable as eg. apt installing a package today will default to the newest version, which didn't exist 1 year ago when you last executed that same command.

with nixos, the states of all the config files are collected into the nix configuration which you can modify manually. And if there's something that can't be handled through that, I think the common solution is to isolate the "dirty" environment into a vm or some other sort of container that I think comes with nixos

(and there's always going to be "data" which isn't part of the "configuration" .. which can just be used as a configuration for individual applications)

assuming you have never used anything except apt commands to change the state of your system. (and are fine with doings superfluous changes eg. apt install foo && apt remove foo)

it's replicable and "atomic", which for a well-designed modern package manager shouldn't be that noticable of a difference, but when it's applied to an operating system a la nixos, you can (at least in theory) copy your centralized exact configuration to another computer and get an OS that behaves exactly the same and has all the same packages. And backup the system state with only a few dozen kilobytes of config files instead of having to backup the entire hard drive (well, assuming the online infrastructure needed to build it in the first place continues to work as expected), and probably rollback a bad change much easier

many words should run into the same issue, since LLMs generally use less tokens per word than there are letters in the word. So they don't have direct access to the letters composing the word, and have to go off indirect associations between "strawberry" and the letter "R"

duckassist seems to get most right but it claimed "ouroboros" contains 3 o's and "phrasebook" contains one c.

are you sure there isn't small print somewhere saying you forfeit your eternal soul to larry ellison?

Most microplastics come from car tires and washing of clothing with plastic in them. (both abrade the plastic causing uncountable tiny pieces of microplastics to enter the water or the air)

Then there are a lot of places that dump plastic into rivers or the ocean instead of into landfills.

The same comment touches on several topics, replying to 2 different people. These two statements being in the same comment is not evidence of them being about the same thing, and if the author expected readers to get that from it, it is absolutely the author's fault if their words got misinterpreted.

And in the next paragraph:

We importantly chose not to call anyone out by name in the there because our expectations aren’t about one person. All of us need to be aware of what is and isn’t okay and a lot of people were involved in the problematic threads, even if Tim, as self-identified here, was one big part

Again referring to multiple people.
