I'm still curious whether the Free Software Definition's choice to require the ability to use free software for any purpose is entirely deliberate - is there any writing on why free software must permit being used to restrict people's ability to exercise the four freedoms?
(I agree with the argument that it would be extremely difficult to write a license that enshrined this without restricting legitimate use cases, but if someone were able to do so, /should/ it be free software?)
@mjg59 I am distinctly tempted to release software under a You May Not Use This Software For Any Purpose licence just to see if anyone even bothers to read it.
@mjg59 Wonderful doc isn't it - none of the forgery here is even slightly careful; it wouldn't have been that hard to find a ~2007 era PC and the version of OpenOffice used to produce the actual white paper.
Heading home from the cabin and the contrast between the industrial wasteland between the rail line and the water and the beauty of everything behind it never ceases to amaze me
User freedom is obviously the most important aspect of free software but the economic cost of staring at wire dumps to figure out a transaction flow instead of just being able to read the implementation should not be understated
In universe, did Indiana Jones's students know that the reason he kept flaking out of classes was because he was fighting nazis? Obviously the state department covered up the whole "Ark of the Covenant" thing, but did all his deeds go unrecognised?
The reason I ask is to determine whether student response to Indiana Jones is proto-"Hot Professor" stereotype or whether the students had a greater source of attraction than him just being Harrison Ford
Given a webauthn.create response, what is the absolute easiest way for me to verify that it has a valid signature (in an ideal world something like https://debugger.simplewebauthn.dev/ but validates the signature rather than just verifying the format is good)
@mjg59 since there's no PKI if you don't care about attestation, the main task is just serializing the signed data right and verifying the sig against the pubkey. Are you looking for a tool that does it automatically for you? Are you doing it in a browser or not?
@mjg59 is this about the user equipment or do you want to work with the spectrum? My experiences with 4G / 5G in unlicensed bands are purely based on playing around with srsLTE / srsRAN, but that works well. But it's not hardware per se, you need to bring your own radio frontend
Hmm got a response from CPUC saying that they're not responsible for enforcement of AT&T's Carrier of Last Resort obligations, and referring me back to AT&T. How is this actually meant to work? (Yes, I know all they're nominally obliged to provide is a basic copper landline service, that's all I'm looking for here)
