2019-12-19 06:08:40: BingoBoingo: payment delivered with the last block. good luck!
mike_c: been poking around ossasepia a bit due to more active log following recently. the last post on unfucking crystalspace graphics is interesting. seems like a deep pit of crap, which is about how I remember it when trying to build the client years ago.
diana_coman: mike_c: you are always welcome to join and talk in #ossasepia.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: lolz@keeping out commenters really.
mike_c: diana_coman: catching up on some of the back logs of it, I will!
verisimilitude: I'm glad you found my article interesting and I agree, asciilifeform. I've long ago read that article of yours and rereading it reminds me of RMS'
The Right to Read.
verisimilitude: My website lacks a comment mechanism primarily because I don't know nor do I particularly want to know how to configure my HTTP server to accept them. Requiring JavaScript is an unacceptable compromise. While email is equally usable for both those reading on the WWW or by Gopher, it would be nice to have more comments.
verisimilitude: If I could configure the HTTP server, Apache2, to merely log the form submissions wholesale for manual inclusion, that alone would be an improvement.
verisimilitude: Returning to copyright, I know it would be comforting to be one of those people who simply put everything in the public domain, and so not worry about, but I can't subscribe to that, and so I'm ofttimes hounded by the suspicion some corporation is trying to unjustly acquire a ``license'' to my work, and it's enough to drive one mad, in a way.

snsabot: (trilema) 2017-02-18 asciilifeform: (iirc we had a thread where i described how corporate ameritards, if given a problem like phuctor, would happily soak up a few $mil and megawatt of iron)
verisimilitude: I'm familiar with that ``licensing paradigm'', asciilifeform, but I still live in the US and it's still just barely reasonable to continue trying to play be the usual rules, so I do.
verisimilitude: I don't mean to imply it would be illegal, simply not much supported.
verisimilitude: What I mean is I'm still trying to go the usual route and cooperate with the usual licenses.
verisimilitude: Now, say, asciilifeform, which state are you in; perhaps we could meet in person at some point; I'd need to generate a PGP keypair I can trust, to exchange public keys in person, in that case.
verisimilitude: Oh, that's rather far away for me, but I'll certainly try to pay you a visit if I'm ever in the general area.
verisimilitude: I've given it plenty of thought, asciilifeform, which is why much of my work is under the AGPLv3, the strongest copyleft.
verisimilitude: I understand your perspective on this, but I still intend to follow this path, for now.
verisimilitude: I've some plans for how to demand money, under the AGPLv3, when I've certain important work, but that's still a ways away.
verisimilitude: As for taking public source code, there's plenty of precedent for ``unimportant'' permissively-licensed software being used by large corporations, purely to save however little money. This is mostly a reason to not use such licenses for anything not trivial.
verisimilitude: Let's segue to a related topic: What future work do you've planned, asciilifeform?
verisimilitude: I intend to continue with my machine code development tool and I'd like to, starting next year, begin genuine work towards a Common Lisp implementation, or at least implementations for other languages.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-12-06 15:31:55 asciilifeform: actually started work on this in 2015, shortly after published orig. vtron -- but shelved, as phf , much handier wwwtronicist, put one up 1st. but phf never gave src.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-11-15 15:53:11 asciilifeform: jfw: i'm baking a run of new high-bandwidth rng (early 2020 tentatively) but given mp's curse i expect plenty of folx will stick to the classic one , i expect you'll have a lively market
verisimilitude: I figured that ISP would be on your list, yes. I'll take a look at these.
