Though seriously, what brand was this? If they are flagged as having that, you might be doing others a service by calling them out.

Time to combine the two for a force multiplier: posting memes with zero effort of you calling yourself an engineer! 🙂 (Though bet you get more hits if you do this with the responses you have gotten instead 😉) Sadly I won’t see these as I stopped using Twitter long ago. So “X” is appropriate name.

Companies that exploit FLOSS for financial gain without giving back properly (in dev time, bug reports, funding) are just leeches. So yeah, not a fan of those. Besides, we all want our favorite projects to have solid sustainability models so they continue being developed/supported. It's win-win.
000
Frank Seesink @frank.seesink.com · 14/09/2025
As a FLOSS supporter for decades, I am not keen per se on licenses like the SSPL/etc. that aren't truly "open" from a freedom perspective. But I also strongly believe in truth and fairness, so I understand why they exist. Folks need to eat, and everyone deserves fair compensation for their work.

Frank Seesink @frank.seesink.com · 14/09/2025
Mind you, I was focused on reading them as a user of OMP, but still. For users like me--where it's a "nice to have" but not essential--should be fine, while giving you the legal coverage you are looking for so folks don't simply take OMP and embed it into commercial products, where you get nothing.

Frank Seesink @frank.seesink.com · 14/09/2025
When I first read your original post, my thoughts went to things like the SSPL (but that's aimed at cloud scales mostly). But after @jamesgoldie.dev's post, looked over the CC licenses--notably CC BY-NC 4.0, CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, and CC BY-NC-ND 4.0--and one of those might serve well vs. the MIT.

Thanks for this. First, didn't know this specific license. Second, got me to land on this page where folks can navigate to the CC license that best meets their needs: creativecommons.org/chooser/ Pretty cool.

For example, I only found OMP after Powerlevel10K went into maintenance mode. But if the licensing had been onerous, I may well have just gone to Starship. As it is, based purely on the tech aspects, I prefer OMP. But this is the challenge of any such project: figuring out a sustainability model.

Frank Seesink @frank.seesink.com · 14/09/2025
I think @energy164.online said it well. While OMP is a "nice to have", and you absolutely deserve to be compensated for your work, you do risk alienating your users. If licensing becomes onerous, folks may simply stop using it or shift to something like Starship.rs instead.

Not sure what to make of the "Meth Unabomber" (a.k.a., Jack Dorsey) leaving Bluesky board, encouraging folks to remain on X, and endorsing Nostr. Is every rich a*hole just losing their sh*t in different ways? www.businessinsider.com/jack-dorsey-... www.theguardian.com/technology/a... nostr.com

What is up with Bluesky? Opened it today to find random crap on my home page, mostly in German, with none of the posts from the few people I follow. That is not useful to me.

Currently reading "The Idea Factory: Bell Labs and the Great Age of American Innovation": www.amazon.com/Idea-Factory... It is helping remind me why I am in this profession. I get immense joy reading these kinds of books, as it brings back the excitement/energy around tech. Highly recommended.

With "old Twitter", you could simply send a friend a URL to the specific tweet of interest. They did not need an account. They simply clicked & were taken to a web page of the tweet. This is no longer true for either Twitter/X or Bluesky. So it's not nearly as much a broadcast medium as it once was.
000
Frank Seesink @frank.seesink.com · 04/12/2023
Final Day 1 thought: Unless I am mistaken, Bluesky is much like Twitter/X is now: you can no longer access content unless you have an account and are logged in. So these are really no longer an open microblogging platform at all but simply another chat/collab type app. Not sure how I feel abt that.

First day's testing results of Bluesky: It is clearly early days. I am curious to see how things develop, however, especially around the AT Protocol and how federation works in the future. I do believe the future lies not in centralized "Big Tech" services but rather more distributed offerings.

Now what about links? frank.seesink.com Oh now that's interesting. It pops up a rounded box saying "Add link card: ..." with the URL there. If I click it, it shows a preview of sorts.
