  • i will never understand what people hope to accomplish with these licenses, when even the fucking GPL isn’t particularly reliable.

    a license is only useful if it can actually be enforced and people are willing to interact with it, if a license isn’t robustly worded and thought out or it’s simply not backed by a trusted group, it’s basically entirely pointless.

    I maintain that the GPL is the best license purely because it has the FSF behind it and it has been used since time immemorial, it’s one of few open source licenses that has seen repeated stress testing in courts and stood up to it.










  • last i checked elves were very explicitly doomed to fade away as magic left middle earth, and what with it canonially being our reality in the past and us now having 8+ billion humans alive, how many elves were there at the last point in time depicted in the books? It feels pretty safe to say we outnumber them now, at least.

    Also makes me wonder what’s supposed to have happened to dwarves, i think hobbits just interbred with humans until everything kinda evened out but did dwarves do that too? must have been a bloody slow process considering… everything about them…
