It makes sense - I think the “terrorism” compinents were always a longshot.

The intent of the BSD licences is to allow you to do what you want without reciprocating though. It’s not an accident, it’s explicitly stated. It is, in fact, your right. You profiting from the work of others is an intended result.

I prefer GPL myself for this reason. But you can’t blame companies for obeying the terms of the licence.

You can’t but a mega-yacht with “credibility”.

They chose to base them on BSD so they could steal work and not give back to the public.

Emphasis mine.

Honestly, I don’t know how pointing out that this was said about specific black women makes any difference to the quote. You seem to think it’s important.

Because quotes mean that it’s exactly what a person said. That’s the point. If you alter the quote you use [] to indicate the bits that have been paraphrased. It’s the intellectually honest way to quote.

I dunno man - maybe if you just called me an asshole a few more times I’d be nicer to you. 🤷

But it’s not stealing then is it?

They chose to base them on BSD so they could steal work and not give back to the public.

“Here you can use this as you like, no questions asked”

“Hey! Why did you use that in a way that I told you you could!?!?”

Why do you think otherwise?

Welcome to the internet! I hope you have fun here.

You think people both followed a link and read the contents of the page it led to?

I mean - I’m not frustrated - more amused than anything else. My hypothesis is that nobody actually read the snopes link and just assumed it said something otherwise. 🤷

Oh yeah. If I just posted that the quote was bad I surely wouldn’t be currently defending myself against accusations of “supporting Nazis”.

And the way you defended yourself preemptively makes you sound like you knew very well you were being pedantic and what the result would be.

Yeah - I’ve been around the internet before. You say “A” and you get 30 responses immediately for not saying “B”.

You don’t think I would have been accused of defending Kirk? Have you just created an account on social media for the first time?

Those canals are… Disgusting. Hopefully the dysentery they contract was worth it.

Lemmy is friggin’ hilarious. I get modded down for stating a fact. You post a snopes link which supports exactly what I said and you get modded UP.

That quote is inaccurate though… He said “you” referencing specific women.

Standard disclaimer: Yes they were all women of color. Yes the subtext is that it applies generally. No I’m not saying anything else that you’re assuming I’m saying. I’m not saying this is the biggest issue or that there aren’t other more important problems. I’m just saying the quote is wrong.

I know you probably don’t care, but quotes do mean something, especially in journalism.

That is how you end up with en, EN, English, etc.

So how can I as a new user make sure to have the most secure machine as possible?

That’s not what you want. You want a reasonable level of confidence that your system is secure.

The process is similar to Windows - keep it up-to-date, use good passwords, don’t run things as root (admin), and don’t install things that are questionable.

The package manager under linux is where you should start, and that varys by distro some. But generally speaking things installed from there are “safe” and will be updated by the package manager when you do updates.
