Thanks, entry updated.

This site mostly looks at library repositories, and permissive licenses dominate there because an (L)GPL licensed library would be significantly harder to utilize in commercial software.

In end user software (i.e. regular programs), (L)GPL is more popular than in libraries.

I don't agree with the premise of that video. GNU/Linux remains the dominant operating system in servers, and I don't see it changing. There's a lot of inertia involved in changing operating systems (even in servers) and GNU/Linux is free and good enough for the needs of nearly all companies. On des...

You can simply hover the stars to see the exact popularity score.

It doesn't appear to be widespread, but using caution with Visual Studio add-ons might be wise: https://www.itsecurityguru.org/2021/05/27/vscode-extension-vulnerabilities-could-lead-to-cyberattacks-on-the-supply-chain/ I have been keeping an eye on VSCode updates out of interest and I'm aware of vu...

Another issue with Mozilla VPN: it's still only available in eight countries at this point (USA, Canada, UK, Singapore, Malaysia, New Zealand, Germany and France).

I released Keppi 3.82. YouTube playback broke due to a youtube-dl update, and that finally prompted me to update the program. Changelog: Track list extraction improvements. Added detection for AC-3 codec. Fixed crash with YouTube videos. Fixed crash when metadata character set detection fails.

Vivaldi's update on cookies and ad-blocking https://www.theregister.com/2021/04/29/vivaldi_3_8/ (and read the comments) Nice. :) Blocking cookie prompts is similar to how I have set Vivaldi to auto-reject any sites which ask for permission to send push notifications - almost no sites which want it ...

We have a definition of portability in our about page , and not having to manually copy settings around is the most important part . So I've been told... but it's full of fallacies: ie: “It must not have any coupling with Internet Explorer…” That's a part of Andrew's ideal definition of "porta...

I mean, are settings preserved when running Classic Browser on a different machine? Only if you also grab this folder... C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Local\ClassicUser So that's not portable at all. We have a definition of portability in our about page , and not having to manually copy setting...

Signal has now adopted a cryptocurrency (with ties to Moxie Marlinspike, the Signal founder) for mobile payments: https://amycastor.com/2021/04/07/signal-adopts-mobilecoin-a-crypto-project-linked-to-its-own-creator-moxie-marlinspike/ This looks like a scheme to make money for Marlinspike: he most li...

I just updated AutoHotKey again, but their "official" source says March 10th, literally a day ahead, should I still go by that? (I went with the 9th, this time.) Probably a timezone difference. I'm at UTC+2 and your post was only nine minutes before midnight at my timezone. At higher UTC ...

It appears Firefox team has gone to great lengths to remove all options to quickly restart the browser, something that I use(d) a lot on my daily web explorations (caused by the massive amount of memory it uses -- I usually see it hovering way up of the 1GB mark -- which a times turns even the best...
