And I was just asking yesterday what would you feel if someone evil used your FOSS software: https://lemmy.world/post/16898871

FOSS programmers, what do you think of horrible people using your software? (self.asklemmy)

I just learned that Nmap is almost GPL except that they revoked the license specifically for SCO group for their SCO–Linux disputes.

This got me thinking, what do open source programmers think of evil companies or horrible people using their software?

Don't get me wrong, FOSS software by its nature can't be controlled or strictly prevented of being used. But in case of companies like SCO, that is a thing that at least can cause them headache and they risk getting into legal trouble. A programmer for example can modify GPL to make so that his software can't be used by Microsoft or Facebook, but it is GPL for everybody else.

I found out that this tool http://www.convertlit.com/ provides a program with a funny name. I wonder if there are similar programs with offensive names or puns like this one. For example, I remember reading a fortune output saying something along the lines of

man Why did you get divorced? 
man: Too many arguments.

And of course, there is the cliche touch grass.

It'd be interesting to find similar one for the Fediverse.

Everyone is talking about rm -rf / and damage to storage drives, but I read somewhere about EFI variables having something to do with bricking the computer. If this is possible, then it's a lot more damage than just disk drives.

Woah. Interesting setup. Looks like a PinePhone with 3D-printed case. But what about the keyboard? and the original Android status bar?

I'm not sure I'd call it a problem. In the end it's the developers' choice.

Btw, I think this applies in general to opinionated software. Suckless is just a subset of that.

Vim keybindings aren't memorization as much as they are muscle memory.
