From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I know this isn't related but: Why do I see a completely different set of comments here when I'm logged in, as opposed to when I'm not?

Could be bc of how you set sorting comments in your account vs guest's default.

I’ve noticed much better post syncing on 0.18. 0.17.4 still relies websocket for syncing post comments and was constantly behind. I’m not mostly seeing that on instances that haven’t quite upgraded yet.

Though if I was running a larger instance i probably wouldn’t upgrade quite yet until ironing out any kinks in a non-prod.

Idk it makes sense to me. Companies using your source and work to directly compete against you is bad. Forcing competitors to use upstream is an ok solve.

It's free software, so you should be free to do with the code whatever you want as long as you don't restrict the freedom of others.
