Huh? The goal of the chromium project was to facilitate a corporate browser in the first place. It's why they don't have a more permissive license. They want to be able to use everyone else's work if anyone forks it.

Permissive license doesn't mean that corporations suddenly get the ability to completely change existing work for the worse, or change its' license. They can bloody well do that with GPL too if they own the project including contributions, so it doesn't matter if it's BSD or GPL, the only protection that the open source users have, in any case, is that licenses can't be changed retroactively, so if Firefox, Chromium or Ladybird went completely closed source and proprietary today, we'd still have the right to use the code as it was yesterday. Permissive licenses just mean that someone somewhere can create a closed source build without the permission of the person or company who owns the project and that doesn't particularly matter for anyone using Ladybird or any future open source derivatives. Permissive licenses are useful for libraries, but also for software that could be bundled as part of a bigger solution. Maybe you want to embed a web browser in your proprietary application and don't want to use webview because its' usability differs platform to platform.

Also why AGPLv3 and not GPLv3? I don't think the "A" part is even necessary here, that's needed more for server side applications, I.e if the end user is using online without the code running on their own computer, AGPL is the one to use.

Anyway, in the modern age, (A)GPL is used by a shit ton of corporate software. Oftentimes with an (A)GPL open core and a bunch of proprietary functionality not included in the core. I should know, I work with one example on a near daily basis. This way, nobody can just take their core functionality and develop a closed source alternative, while they can sell you an enterprise license for full functionality on their "open source" software.

How do you prove any of those points for a return? Presumably they don't show anything while in motion and it does drive so how does it not fulfill its purpose?

Instead, you can return it in 6 months when the engine is blown because it's a piece of Stellantis garbage.

Epic's EMR is so widespread in the US that I'm not even American and I know it.

Here in Estonia we have a meat comp named after them. Wonder what they make their sausage out of...

There's no true alternative to cloudflare because cloudflare provides you with a ridiculous amount of nice things, many with generous free tiers.

Deflect has a 10 dollar minimum which is basically nothing, but at the same time, way more than cloudflare where basic protection is free.

Yes, I'm also a CF user for my personal and business domains. Not sure if I'm happy about it but then again I haven't paid them a cent yet.

You are doing something right. I see people say Lemmy is slow, or there are large amounts of downtime. That has not happened on this instance.

The guy running the instance is a software engineer with devops experience, whereas a lot of others are amateurs. Which isn't a bad thing - it's great that a lot of people are self-hosting things - but something like Lemmy requires a bit of consideration on the infrastructure and security side of things.

I think there are ideological factors too. Ping lemm.ee or lemmy.world to get the IP address - you get a Cloudflare IP according to the WHOIS. Ping lemmy.ml and you get OVH SAS as the owner. Same for Hexbear actually. Both instances are run by tankies and if there's one thing that they get right, it's that the entire Internet shouldn't go through one single corporation. Unfortunately, that one single corporation, Cloudflare, also provides excellent DDoS protection.

Why's that? I've never owned any of the 3, all pans have been some form of nonstick.

Honestly, with ADHD, that can be pretty normal. One day you forget to make your bed and suddenly boom, it's been 14 years since the last time you did it. Good habits die so easily because they give no pleasant hormones and bad habits come so easily because they give you reward hormones.

I honestly make my bed a couple of times a year. Also there's a theory that not making your bed is actually healthier because it doesn't create a warm, moist environment under the blanket for shit to grow in, so I use that as an excuse. But really, I just forget it all the time and don't care too much.
