Adam Neely essentially suggests a Creative Commons Attribution licence on all music - he calls it a 'citational system' - as a solution to the dead end that copyright - The Grotesque Legacy of Music as Property - came to.

Are you someone who has a simple fix for something in the Linux kernel, but haven't bothered submitting a patch because you find the email workflow daunting? Can be a bugfix, spelling correction, anything at all.

If so, I want to talk to you! I have tools that simplify this process quite a bit, but I need more feedback from people who aren't long-term Linux maintainers.

Please reach out, either via here or by emailing mricon@kernel.org.

@monsieuricon I have a few patches (just minor fixes) that I never bothered submitting.

Not that the email workflow is really daunting, more so that it probably would take a lot of time to setup just to send some very minor one-line changes.

Are the new tools something that takes less time to setup?

Twitter just sneaked in a new rule disallowing links to competing platforms, right during the world cup finals

Gods, screaming at all my mutuals to leave had zero effect in getting them to leave, and now this.

At least I’m easy to find online, but they aren’t.

@tenacity @kamikazow there is nothing to see though. WxWidgets and Qt is an experimental project by some who's not working on it anymore.

Upstream audacity is already changing away from WxWidgets, but that will take a significant amount of time still.

I was and still am on the opinion that the best would be a closely-follow-upstream but without telemetry and musehub and co., which would take significant less effort. There is already a full team of developers refreshing the UI..

Amazon workers in Coventry vote to go on strike in the new year. They were classed as key workers during the pandemic… but are treated like robots for low pay. Amazon has plenty money to go around.

> This time the turnout was 63%, with 98% of those backing strike action, marking the first time Amazon workers in the UK have voted to do so.
