Apparently, 12% of Technology Workers Believe that MacOS is based on Linux

I don’t think the ToS approach would be invalidated here via your Safe Harbor fork theory.
The ToS could state something like “you give us a worldwide perpetual right to use your content in any way we want including granting this right to whom we designate”
You still own your content but by having an account you agree to the ToS that lets them do what they want.
They just host it and are safe.
TOS can't change Law, can't strip away rights that you have.
Law always trumps TOS.
In fact, if a company tries to via their TOS they are opening themselves up for big risks/lawsuits, as they are trying to gain ownership of your content, voiding their Safe Harbor law protections.
They can't have it both ways, thats not how the Law works. Either they have the protection, or they own the content.

They share some inspiration. Same with Linux/Unix confusion.
About 15 minutes in a terminal trying to do Linux'y things are you get completely disillusioned.

Well, scrapers probably would ignore it.
Well, scrapers probably would ignore it.
Maybe, I wouldn't doubt it, if true. We live in the age of "ask for forgiveness and not permission". But the law is the law, and forgiveness may cost them some $$$ down the road. At the very least it leaves them exposed vis-a-vis 'Safe Harbor' laws-wise, when some other powerful entity wants to go to war with them.
In either case, I'm not going to give up my rights just because currently laws are not enforced. Like most things with humans, things move back-and-forth throughout time, and what may be overlooked today may be scrutinized thoroughly tomorrow.
(And for the record, you're the bazillionish person to tell me that. The repetition is real.)

Lmfao. My fucking lead was arguing with me the other day how Linux is Unix. I just said ok after I saw that it was going nowhere.
One or two Linux distros were (are?) UNIX certified, though.

Just remember that they didn't certify macOS for any practical reason, Apple was just weaseling out of a lawsuit and figured that paying the certification was cheaper than damages. I think they lost the certification some time later. Newer macOS is not Unix certified.
Newer macOS is not Unix certified.
It's UNIX 03 compliant https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_UNIX_Specification

isn't Linux Unix-like?
Linux Is Not Unix, Xavier!
-
Whatever else it may be, macos most certainly Is Unix unfortunately
Anything can be Unix if you're willing to pay for the certification.

That license does nothing.
Your comments aren’t licensed because you put something in them. It’s stopping nothing. Licensing is an agreement, and requires parties to consent. You don’t just magically force licenses onto people.
If this was real I could license my comments where if you read them, you owe me 10k.
This is the digital equivalent of sovereign citizens.
That license does nothing.
Especially since the comment itself in question is so short that it would be public domain in practically every jurisdiction.

But not the Linux kernel itself.

What would you say determines whether a kernel is a Unix kernel? I believe Linux is as much a Unix kernel as the BSD kernel is, the FreeBSD kernel, the AIX kernel, the System V kernel, etc.

He also says, Palestine supporters and Hamas supporters are, and I quote, one and the same.
I mean the dude is literally Jewish and pro Israeli, it isn't even surprising he would have an L take like that

Not what, who. And the answer is The Open Group,

Mostly because Microsoft tries to maintain backwards compatibility to ridiculous extents, and their customers grew accustomed to it so they kinda rely on it, no ?
I mean, they do until they don't. They eventually retired 16 bit subsystem, and they are gungho on TPM now. They have always had EOL dates for old OS's too. I'm not entirely sure why they do what they do, I suspect they are too large and unwieldy to operate as an entity with a unified vision.

Thank you arse assassin
Holy crap, that's the exact post I was talking about! Nice!

Huh. That’s interesting. Are the MacOS coreutils incapable or not user-friendly in some way? Or is it more that they’re too different for people who know GNU and BSD coreutils?
I also wonder if their coreutils are open source. I quickly tried searching here but couldn’t find an answer https://opensource.apple.com/releases/
There's command line options that work with BSD or GNU but don't work with MacOS. Here's one example I had to fix a while back: https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/issues/1984

You're probably the only one, but thank you for saying that.
Nah, I think it's neat as well. Lemmy would be more boring if no user had idiosyncrasies.
Hell, I've even tagged you with "CC BY-NC-SA 4.0" in my Lemmy client - which means I will confront you if you ever stop doing it.

Are humans based on apes or great apes?
Humans are great apes. All great apes and lesser apes are apes. Not that it matters in the chain if you read it.

He's an anti-woke crusader and bigot. A large chunk (probably most) of his "content" is actually about that.
::: spoiler CW all sorts of bigotry
"Best Alternatives to Woke Software", "Devuan: The Non-Woke Debian Linux Fork", lots of shit like that.He loves talking about so-called "reverse racism", he thinks white people are oppressed in US tech.
Here's a recent one:
https://lunduke.substack.com/p/meta-ending-del-ending-fact-checking
They [Meta] are allowing criticism of LGTBQ+blublublub issues, including *snicker* the statement that gay people are mentally ill [...] and they're allowing vaccine skepticism on the platform [...] and it is, I'm not gonna lie, mildly hilarious.
:::doesnt a free and open source operating system fit "actively attentive to important societal facts and issues" aka not having control of your machine
