Yup. I’ve worked in big multinational companies where a local department would roll their own solution (a database and a web page, usually), and then the people that built it moved on or retired and now no one will maintain the thing. A small business has much less resources to deal with this kind of thing.

The closer the stuff is to off the shelf, the better. Reliability and maintainability are paramount and should trump feature set when deciding.

Infrastructure is also easier to change. A TrueNAS local server with external backup using Borg should be a no brainer for users. You could also setup Syncthing to get users something close to OneDrive.

If the business grows tenfold, it’s still only 120 people. They can’t handle that in a gaming rig?

Okay, but how about you address my question now? If the effects are the same as GPL but it has a lot of downsides, why would you use it? What is its selling point?

Wait, so you’re saying the effect of this license is essentially the same as GPL, but you still think it’s a good idea to use it? Even though this license is AFAIK incompatible with most copyleft licenses, thus hindering your ability to use software licensed under these terms and restricting the use of your software by open source projects that operate under a different license?

What is the benefit that makes it worth that high a cost?

Is CW in the room with us now?

…or so I’ve been told 👀

But get this: Shakespeare was an ape that did in fact produce all of Shakespeare’s works. 🤯

Fuuuuck.

Didn’t he buy Tesla? And isn’t there a team on Space X just to prevent him from doing changes to projects? And didn’t he say the government didn’t use SQL?

Wait what‽

Well spotted. https://securityonline.info/malicious-vscode-extensions-caught-mining-crypto-with-xmrig/ This news article has a link to this listing: https://app.extensiontotal.com/report/prettierteam.prettier

Notably, the developer name is different.

In case someone stumbles upon this now, Prettier got caught running a crypto miner on users’ computers: https://programming.dev/post/28214590

Ba-dum-ts!

It’s to clear possible confusion with X11.
