I just check something because my memory as faults... Firebird was the name of Firefox and the mail client was called something like Mozilla mail or something else.

I use Thunderbird from the beginning when it was still named Firebird (I switched from Outlook Express). I think that it's a good product because it continues to do the job since more than 20 years. Me too I don't understand the negative comments. It's free (MPL license), it's packaged by Debian. All good. I don't care about Mozilla.

Oh, thank you... I'm not alone... I'm so tired of seeing crappy containers with pseudo service management handled by Dockerfiles, used instead of proper and serious packaging like that of many venerable Linux distributions.

Hello, thank you, but that doesn't answer my question. I'm not asking for a definition, but for information about licensing decisions for the future of Bun.

Hi Jarred,

I contributed to Bun one time for SQLite. I've a question about the licensing. Will each contributor continue to retain their copyright, or will a CLA be introduced?

Thanks

trump-lang is a totally stable genius programming language made for developers who don’t like to wait, think twice, or read error messages.

Designed with rapid decision-making, alternative logic, and absolutely no regard for international standards — it’s the only language endorsed by billionaires who don’t code.

It is unfortunate. GCC has enabled the compilation of countless lines of source code for nearly 40 years and has served millions of users. Regardless of whether its design is considered good or bad today, GCC has played an essential role and has enabled the emergence of many projects and new compilers. GCC deserves deep respect.

The cloud is optional and you have a root SSH access to the tablet. It's possible to impl. your own service for syncing or just sync via SSH with scripts.

> How do you deal with Microsoft's crap on a daily basis?

I'm still using Windows 7 for specific Visual Studio 2019 developments where I must code. Most of times I'm under Debian.

For Windows specific build-only machine I use the free Hyper-V Server installation with OpenSSH installed via powershell and Add-WindowsCapability. I'ts one of the best Windows IMHO because there is nothing installed.

I've a certificate whish is valid until 2022 (valid for 5 years) (generated in 2017 after paied 100$). I distribute only free games (GPLv3) that I sign with this certificate. For Catalina, I can't notarize because I don't pay each year (my certificate is valid then it's useless to pay and I distribute only free softwares)... But I'm fucked by Apple for the notarization.

It's too expansive to pay just to distribute games that will be even refused probably on the app store because it's GPL.

Apple is just killing freedom and continue to take advantage of free softwares (free developers) on BSD, mach kernel, a lot of unix tools... even on projects started by Apple like LLVM Apple takes all advantages of all third contributions.
