So what? That does not mean they have any control over any software merely because they are also GPL. In fact, the FSF has strict rules about what they let IN to be placed under the FSF umbrella.
so they are the best example of a a GPL copyright holder with multiple copyrights
Again, so what? You are talking about the FSF. I am talking about the GPL itself. Stop treating them as if they're the same.
The licence itself does not allow the FSF to withdraw copyrights from any entity for all other GPLd projects, not even the ones they own.
GPL is not the FSF. Most GPL software is not owned by the FSF and so whatever the FSF decides to do does not apply to GPL in general. Furthermore, the FSF cannot do what is out of the licence's scope. The GPL is its own thing that the FSF itself must obey.
There's a common sense basis for that. The GPL isn't an organization or a collective. It's just a licence. A licence, regardless of which country's laws, or international law, cannot forbid the use of other things having the same licence. That would be a ridiculous ability for a licence to have.
Such a thing would also work against the GPL more than help it. What if someone was infringing on one GPL project, but then was a very good contributor to another unrelated project? That other GPL project would suffer for no fault of their own. No one would adopt the GPL in that case, and no one is protected.
That's exactly the reason why I prefer C++ over Lisp. I've tried learning Lisp many times. The thing that got me every time was when macros were run. Templates and constexpr doesn't have that problem, and they're also hygienic, by definition. You know precisely when they run, and you get a compile error when they can't. The only way I could get my head around List Processing patterns was through metaprogramming with variadic templates, and that was because, despite the scary error messages, you can actually figure out exactly where you went wrong.
You can easily get a sense of what you know at compile time, and what you don't.
it implies that difficulties to conform to the lunacy of this new authorian left is some sort of mental illness.
Who is calling high functioning autism a mental illness? It's a mental condition, but not an illness.
(If they would, they would ask them for an opinion and figure out quite quickly that they don't want to be the battle ground of the next proxy culture war. On the contrary, they want to be left alone.)
You're just putting words into trans-people's mouth as you are accusing "the modern intelligentzia" of doing. Some trans-people do want to be left alone. But quite a lot more want to have equal rights. Kind of telling to call fighting for equal rights a "culture war".
Other countries have no problem with the government heavily backing universities. So instead of the knee-jerk "government appears here, bad things happened, therefore government is bad", try to actually figure out what you're doing wrong that others get right.
Ah, so "progressive" is "anything I don't like". If conservative policies lead to outcomes you don't like, then "they were progressives all along, and I don't have to face the fact that I was wrong".
The point, as I understood it, is that we have footage that shows what really happened, as opposed to when cops lie about the mortal danger of a black person running away from them,
I'm continually surprised at all the things we learned about engineering software systems that don't get applied back into management.
We know throwing threads at a problem doesn't work if all you do is end up locking everything. We know that high coupling and low cohesion leads to irreducible complexity. Sharing mutable state instead of doing a little bit of analysis to see what the dependencies are and break down tasks to minimize the reach of these dependencies.
Yet somehow, all these lessons from concrete experience (rather than abstract theory) gets thrown out the door in project management, even from managers who were once software engineers. Project management should be there to facilitate message passing and work stealing queues without trying to force when these things happen.
This is why you're seeing the resurgence of neo-nazis and white supremacists.
They're the ones voting in line with the party who wants to reduce government to zero, providing no government jobs. They don't want to pay taxes on their inevitable massive lottery win. They're own bloody fault.
They're both not wrong. Microsoft's use of WSL won't further the cause of free software. But it will still benefit open source (just not Free software). Right now, the WSL arrangement makes Ubuntu the mitochondria, but one could argue it could happen the other way around. Even though it is technologically subsumed into Windows via WSL, it could be argued that it is Windows that is being co-opted by Ubuntu from a strategic standpoint.
The language is large, but I wouldn't call it a bloated mess. It's not bloated because it doesn't cost anything to not use a feature. In Java, you pay for things because you have no alternative. eg, you have to pay for virtual dispatch whether or not you need it. In C++, if you want polymorphism, you can achieve it without virtual dispatch. Most of the advanced language features are there for authors of generic libraries. It allows the complexity of the implementation to be truly hidden from the client code, unlike in Java where enforced inheritance hierarchies as a design pattern is leaked across API boundaries.
And what's wrong with external dependencies? You don't want external dependencies, yet you don't like C++ because it is a "bloated mess". What criticism do you want? C++ is too big or C++ is too small? You can only choose one. You can't talk out of both sides of your mouth.
We are also told by physicists that our universe started with a "big bang", a state and point in time at which the state of our universe was so energised that the sub-atomic particles we take for granted today [never mind atoms and molecules] did not exist - because the universe had not cooled sufficiently.
So if you extrapolate this facts, don't they suggest that it stands to reason that, the further away in distance [and thus the further back in time] that we look, the higher the energies we would expect to observe. Everything else is [just / subject to] entropy.
No, because the high energies from that time has cooled down to what we predicted and observed as the Cosmic Microwave Background.
Funnily enough, that's only a concern back when superstitions were widely held beliefs. "The Devil made me do it". The most newsworthy of recent incidents was former South African cricket captain Hanse Cronje.
With naturalistic explanations, at least there is a chance in hell to actually test it instead of people getting away by blaming being possessed.
You're the smartass kid in class who takes everything literally as though its funny and clever and reads only enough of a sentence to feel like you're so smart to find a contradiction. But that contradiction falls apart when actually comprehending the whole sentence, had you cared to read it whole.
What do you mean "wouldn't dare"? Are you living under a fucking rock? Women have been told since prehistory to have children young. The birth defects from older women are well known. Only now we're seeing a slight correction the other way warning that it actually does effect men too. For a while, the folk wisdom was that only the woman's age mattered and not the men. Nice try in attempting to play the injured party here.

Kind of easy to prove that they don't have any AI...
The Free Software Foundation _wrote_ the GPL

If you ask Linus, he'd tell you he still does it for fun.
Grownups don't need a code of conduct.
Unfortunately don't see too many grownups in programming these days.
Please quote the exact part of the Rust Code of Conduct which says you can be excluded simply for disagreeing.

We have lots of space.
Until you mention the word "immigrant".

At least you're not denying that it's happening.
If you could understand even just the summary, you'd know parasites play a big role in the food chain. So it's not an unequivocal good thing.
Maybe it's time you stop getting your news from headlines.

I was responding to an obvious "indentity politics" nonsense. But apparently that's okay for you. That's very telling.

Telling people what to eat and not eat (as one example among many) is hardly being concerned with the eternal.
