There is at least 1 LGPL dependency in there which renders the license void. If you include LGPL, your software is LGPL.
omeid2··on How we centralized and structured error handling in Golang
This is a cry for sum types.

omeid2··on Voyager 1 breaks its silence with NASA via radio transmitter not used since 1981
"Be defence forces of (checks profile) one-of-the-five nation states" is not a standard of negotiation requirement I deem attainable for just about anyone that isn't one of the five or EU the union.
omeid2··on DeepComputing: Early Access Program for RISC-V Mainboard for Framework Laptop 13
lower-powered x86 has little chance anymore. In 10 years from now, just about every portable system will be ARM-like.

Doesn't mean it will get honoured. You will be offered the opportunity to remove a few specific comments/posts at most.

No one cares about a race without a horse in it.
omeid2··on Australia proposes ban on social media for those under 16
Claims about "all" are not useful and a distraction from useful understanding of human behaviour. People, like any animal, as a rule, act largely on self-interest. That is with a broad definition of self that includes family --specially offsprings, and larger "identities" like clan, village, city, country, race, creed, religion, and so on.

Tasmania tried doing that with smoking and it kind of didn't go through due to technicalities.

Voting rights should be proportional to remaining quality-adjusted life years remaining based on life expectancy.

I am joking of course, but there is something to ponder about the growing number of childless people over 40 voting with little concern for the long term.

omeid2··on Feds: Critical Software Must Drop C/C++ by 2026 or Face Risk
There is a few options, for example Ocaml, Swift, Erlang, and so on.

On this topic, similar to Wine, there is also Darling which brings Darwin to Linux.

omeid2··on We can now fix McDonald's ice cream machines
McDonalds provides the largest network of public toilets in the world. It is no small thing.

It is a shame that Bloomberg and Facebook made the whole situation pretty confusing though, but still, it is a nice idea.

omeid2··on Inline Scope for CSS
That is as good as saying "stop using Google" when it is everywhere on the web.

But CSS is adding new features every day and sunrise again should be the sign that it is a poor abstraction.

omeid2··on Inline Scope for CSS
At some point, we really have to kill CSS.
omeid2··on Who died and left the US $7B?
Are you joking? How is here is an extreme case of X doesn't relate to an extreme case of -X?
omeid2··on Open-Source Flipper Zero Firmware: Unlock Your Device's Full Potential
> you are to blame for your attack succeeding?

Morally? A bit grey, but often when you dig into the details for the cases of businesses unlike individuals, it is a resounding "Yes".

This is for data breaches, but similar laws exists for all sort of conduct related to negligence in securing and adequately protecting privacy, safety, health, and so on.

omeid2··on Ask HN: Must-Read Books for Startups?
It is a must read in my opinion.

Having seen so many waste away their time chasing the dream without little knowhow, I can't recommend this book enough.

omeid2··on Powerful, Open-Source, Programmatic CAD
The readme is much better, but generally, this kind of CAD is a bit like OpenGL, very few primitives to create crazy staff.

Also, it is written in Haskell, so maybe there is finally some other useful project in Haskell other than the Haskell Compiler, as the joke goes.

omeid2··on Warewoolf: A minimalist novel-writing system/rich text editor
This looks a lot like FocusWriter which is much more lightweight and doesn't depend on electron, so it is only about 6 MB instead of 60 MB.

omeid2··on OpenSCAD: The Programmer's Solid 3D CAD Modeller

omeid2··on Facebook uses Australian adults public photos/posts to train AI, without opt-out
You can't agree to something that wasn't even conceived at the time. Maybe it is "legal" by the letter of the law but it is hard to argue that it is inline with the spirit of the law.
omeid2··on Judge dismisses majority of GitHub Copilot copyright claims
> reproduction doesn't usually happen unless you go to extra lengths to make it.

And who is to say that people who want to copy your code without adhering to your license terms or pay won't go to extra lengths? or am I missing something here?
