I remember those pre-SSD days! If I spin up a minimum specs VM, it’s kinda like that (which I did at least five times over the weekend). Nowadays you can load Windows pretty fast. Updates might take 10 minutes though!

No more updates might be ok now, but as soon as someone finds a security vulnerability, it ain’t getting patched. Maybe if it’s dire enough. Someone should put together a script to modify the registry for an easy v11 update path.
I really appreciate this viewpoint. Most of the satisfaction I get is from bookmarking and organizing my bookmarks. That being said, I routinely go through my bookmarks and revisit things.

Thank you for adding important context.
Just installed Trisquel on my old laptop and Linux does not have drivers for my laptop. I had to plug it in directly. Sucks.
Remember when Canonical pioneered this?

Do you think that applies to you as well? That you deserve bad things to happen to you because of your consumer choices?

People don’t deserve to be mistreated but it is surprising that folks haven’t abandoned it if they’re so actively anti consumer.
It seems like it’s required course materials at a university.

No. They should change it to CIA.
This is why I never donated my most recent wheelchair.

I mean, I understand the licenses, I just have the same reservation you addressed at the end: I don’t see how the licensing scheme would affect bug reporting.

I appreciate the lengthy answer, I just don’t understand what this has to do with bugs.

Someone else said OpenSSL. I think that’s what it was.
Dang, that smokes a fatty.

I think that might have been it.

This reminds me of that time there was a critical vulnerability in some core open source library that basically everyone depends on, and there was no one around to fix it or something. I want to say it was 2015? I can’t remember the name of the software package.

I don’t understand what switching from a permissive license would do here.
Both work because the reversal is part of the point. I didn’t find it difficult to read, so it’s subjectively legible.
