1283 = continue 1432 = license 1766 = gnu

So for every loop continue statement there is a GPL license text :D

Apple's walled garden system matches nicely with Chinese Communism.

Re:It's time to talk about post-RMS Free Software on Sunday September 15, 2019 @04:27PM (#20979308)
The main problem of Free Software (read GPL) is that it is not free, compared to say BSD. It doesn't promote competition and doesn't help small player, as you have to release all changes back under GPL. On the other hand, GPL increases barrier to entry, so big monopolistic players, like Microsoft and governments, win from it, while small indie devs lose.
Why do people make such a hypocritically huge fuzz out of some pimp, like Epstein? Look at poor neighborhoods - there are literally millions pimps prostituting millions of women in the world. I doubt any of you want to pay for their education, so they could stop prostituting and do useful jobs, and I doubt any of these prostitutes want to work at a sweatshop or a factory, or even in office, doing heavy and unhealthy work in disciplined environment.
Re:Github restricts public Faceswap repo to logged-in users on Sunday February 17, 2019 @02:27PM (#19186308)
Happened to me too, after I published my book criticizing Russia: https://github.com/saniv/text/blob/master/one-life-in-russia... Hi Nikita, Thanks for writing in. Your repositories were set to require a login to view following multiple reports from users concerned about their contents. This was done as an alternative to hiding or disabling the content entirely. Thanks, GitHub Support Russians support freedom of speech that much.
Godspeed, Terry! You was crazily talented and I will miss you :'(
