always a pleasure to see big projects going full copyleft amidst the recent influx of projects sadly going source-available

this is the main reason not to sign a CLA (edit: both the aforementioned projects seem to adopt CLAs, though it seems that they aren't hostile and are especially pro-copyleft. see this amazing correction by @princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone for context). you should not let a third-party use your copyright to restrict user freedom in the future because they swear "they ❤️ open source" now, and would never use your code to only their own benefit.

I'm glad that they chose the AGPL when open-sourcing their server. I don't see that many companies, especially ones offering a "product", open-sourcing their work with a copyleft license.

An excellent standard library and packaging system, first-class concurrency support and a focus on readability are among the traits that keep Golang devs happy.

Though this was from some time ago, I'd like to share it here and have a light discussion. Rob did an awesome talk, and I agree with him at almost every point.

I do hardly disagree with him on the gopher license attribution. I do heavily attribute gopher's image to Renee French, but I'm not the creator, so whatever.

Firefox with ublock origin is even better than the DuckDuckGo browser alone. Yes, you can use DuckDuckGo as a default search engine, and even install the extension, if you need to.

OSM is such a badass project

i'm so fucking sad that a shitty¹ company was able to bully a 100% legal piece of FOSS to shut down.

It is THE best app for reading manga, and it single-handedly started my love and (healthy) addiction to reading manga lol. It's also one of the best examples on how a FOSS model is superior to any competitive proprietary one.

I hope so much luck to the devs and every contributor. Their work through all these years is immeasurable. Makes me regret a little for not trying to contribute to the community with some code at a time I was wanting to. Thanks for all the hours of fun reading manga. I'm sure at this very moment people are already organizing a fork to live on Tachiyomi's legacy, as is the spirit of FOSS.

I too just turned into a Marxist after finding out about Linux and software freedom in 2020 lol

I think there might be more than a handful of us. Welcome, comrade.

Go 1.21 adds a new port targeting the WASI preview 1 syscall API through the new GOOS value wasip1. This port builds on the existing WebAssembly port introduced in Go 1.11.

I strongly disagree. When everybody has a space and opportunity to draw is when it's the most fun :)

Otherwise, it just turns into a toxic and unpleasant experience

This is awesome. My favorite Reddit client was Infinity. Pretty happy to see it being usable for Lemmy!

I really like seeing people's interesting projects. Even if they are generic or were started just to learn something.

And on top of that, I consider Go to be one of those languages that you can find projects on a pretty diverse range of topics.

So, is there any interesting (or not too) personal Go projects that is in the making, or is already finished?
