TIL: @tuxedocomputers released #Linux #kernel drivers for their machines under the #GPLv3, which makes it impossible for competitors and distros to ship them pre-compiled, as that license is incompatible with the #LinuxKernel's #GPLv2 only license.
They did this purposely, allegedly to "keep control of the upstream pacing" – and want to re-license the code while upstreaming.
I was looking into this project's kernel modules to figure out packaging it, and I discovered that this project's license is not compatible with the Linux kernel's own license, thus the combination...
2/ side note: wondering if they require a CLA that allows re-licensing for any meaningful contributions, otherwise they can not upstream contributed code (and wouldn't be allowed to ship the drivers pre-compiled themselves).
3/ It got even stranger: it seems @tuxedocomputers provided the wrong license to the #LinuxKernel's MODULE_LICENSE()[1] macro either by accident or on purpose. 🧐
@waldi pointed that out earlier today elsewhere in this thread; PWM maintainer Uwe Kleine-König a little later submitted a bug report asking this to be fixed:
According to https://docs.kernel.org/process/license-rules.html#id1 "GPL" as parameter to MODULE_LICENSE() means "Module is licensed under GPL version 2". This is not true for this source...
Werner Sembach from @tuxedocomputers now merged Uwe's proposed changes that make the drivers provide the right license to the #Linux #kernel's MODULE_LICENSE()[1] macro. 👏
According to https://docs.kernel.org/process/license-rules.html#id1 "GPL" as parameter to MODULE_LICENSE() means "Module is licensed under GPL version 2". This is not true for this source...
Werner Sembach from @tuxedocomputers *reverted* Uwe's changes that made the drivers provide the right license to the #Linux #kernel's MODULE_LICENSE()[1] macro "until the legal stuff is sorted out":
Wondering why that happened – did they only notice now that the drivers do not compile any more because they use GPL-onlyed symbols, which are inaccessible for any non-GPLv2-compatible module?
There are now patches under discussion upstream to '"teach the [#Linux #Kernel's] module loader that these modules [from @tuxedocomputers ] are proprietary despite their declaration to be GPLv2 compatible "until the legal stuff is sorted out". "'
They are working on doing the same for the remaining drivers.
They also submitted a updated version of the patchset making the #Linux #Kernel's module loader treat some of the modules as proprietary; the list of modules handled that way is much shorter now:

Using Explorer Patcher (github.com/valinet/ExplorerPat…) has just revolutionized my Windows 11 experience, now that I got it to work, finally after a year of not looking at it and tossing it in the dustbin. I personally had a hard time clicking a blank area of my taskbar with a screen reading tool, so if you are using one, an alternative is to run this command from your Run (Windows +R) dialog: C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe "C:\Program Files\ExplorerPatcher\ExplorerPatcher.amd64.dll",ZZGUI after running, a window titled "properties" should open. Use up and down arrow to choose a setting, left and right to change one. I personally enabled the shell integration, simple tab switcher, and in advanced, definitely "Enable SysListView32 for Explorer views" - this will give you the older "folder view list view" type view when browsing lists of folders, and it does speed up the arrowing back to how I remember it. Be sure to also check the "control interface" setting and if you want the older Windows 7 menu bar back, choose "Windows 7 command bar." All of this does make Explorer Patcher worth it, especially if running on non-insider builds. Highly recommended for anyone fed up with Windows 11's bloat and slowness. Side note: I could not get it to cooperate well with my Open Shell once I reverted to the older Start Menu, so I've removed that for now.
Note that instead of clicking the empty area on the task bar, you can also just press the appications key on the Type here to search button, and then that will have a properties item at the bottom allowing you to get to that screen.

“What is a man? Is he defined by things like morphology or longevity? If form alters content—that is, if the shape of the container fundamentally influences what it contains—what will it mean to society if a man no longer resembles a man? If those things which have always driven us—birth, aging and death—are altered or eliminated, will it make us into something new? If a man need not fear death, will that make us more human than our ancestors, or less?"

After upgrading to #Android 15 I was tracking down this bug in #Conversations_im where the color of the text in the status bar sometimes doesn't change with the app theme. Occasionally I would get white status bar text on top of a light theme. Then I noticed that other apps - including the clock app! - have the same issue. I'm absolutely convinced that the engineers working on Android are all using iPhones. I mean how does one not notice issues like that?
Since Android 12, my Firefox has a similar problem. I always thought it was because of it not getting the switch from light to dark theme or vice versa because one force close and restart later it's fine again. But that's not the whole story as the chrome inside the app follows the system theme. It's just the status bar. I can only imagine that that's only set at app startup once and never touched again. Or not runtime changeable at all.
I just wanted to let you know I just updated my CalyxOS install to the Android 15 base and I'm not experiencing any problems like this. Is there anything in particular you've noticed that triggers it, or can you just not read your status bar sometimes?
@Friendica Support Ich würde es gut finden, wenn in den Beiträgen neben dem Hashtag auch der Text stehen würde, der aktuell sichtbar ist, wenn man mit der Maus drüber fährt. Dies würde schneller ersichtlich machen, warum ich diesen Beitrag erhalte.
If you are a composer, musician or sound engineer, Panagement is amazing for sound positioning. The binaural delay is amazing, the reverb is immersive and everyone needs chipmods now and then. Everything is automatable.
This is a small company, no registration codes, just fully working plugins once you buy the full version which is currently on sale. The free version has everything but the delay and the chipmod and there are audio demos on the site as well. Check it out at auburnsounds.com/products/Pana…

I can't see the full price I'm going to pay even on the screen where I'm supposed to enter my card details. There are only monthly prices. I can multiply by 12, of course, but I find that a bit confusing.
@Geograph Das stimmt, und damals hat Premium auch nur 1 Euro gekostet. Leider machen alle anderen das und leider springen dabei sehr viele Nutzer auf den Deal-Zug auf bzw warten extra auf Black Friday. Wenn wir nun nichts machen, gehen sie zur Konkurrenz... Allerdings haben wir das Angebot extra so geplant, dass die meisten existierenden Nutzer auch profitieren - nicht nur Neukunden. Hoffe, das verstehst du.

🇵🇱🤔🇺🇦 Ukrainians have a "short memory", because during the first months of the invasion, Poland transferred equipment and humanitarian aid, and Zelensky is trying to "draw other countries into direct participation in the conflict" against Russia, - Polish MoD
❗️He added that Zelensky's words "sounded a note that Poland is not doing everything it can. Poland has done and continues to do everything possible. But there is a line that I will never cross, it is a question of Poland's security."
I don't want to be a mean person, but if he really said that, this is really ungrateful and shows how much appreciation he actually has about other countries helping when help was needed. Compassion goes so far, but threatening a nation's security in the name of war allies, wellp. Nope. If only everyone could go for peace. Just for a year, or like 20... Often people have short memories about help. Humans just cannot appreciate today. I am not going to talk about the other end, where ukrainians here live better than us in my own country, but okay. Unfortunately it happens a lot these days that someone else lives better in someone else's country. People need to learn how to appreciate, and how to have compassion. Because we're all connected, want it or not. Even on a human level we're the same, we do the same things. So a bit of respect won't go unnoticed. and saying so and so isn't doing enough but you know they can more is just, greed. I am sorry.

To start out with, some work I did for @DB_VST ! From left to right, paintings for call-ins, a representation of ORB and string-worms, and a new Beer O'Clock icon!
Illustrations in watercolour, text in ink, on 160gsm wood-pulp watercolour paper.
(Note: The bottom text is digitally composited from 2 attempts, because I messed up the first time =V )
Julie (@sugarsh0t) shows her true colours right from Day 1.
Ink, broad pen on calligraphy paper, with paintbrush ink splatters. This is the first time I use this Strathmore calligraphy paper—it takes ink beautifully well and has a wonderful texture.
This piece exists *in spite* of Night Watch and the membrane clarinet. @ihorner, I'm not mad at all, nope. =V

Had some fun trying to both get a good consistency of watercolour for calligraphy and mixing that "lightly oxidised blood" colour. India ink and watercolour, broad nib, on Strathmore parchment paper. Foundational hand and textura quadrata script.
Desert Bus 2024, Day 3. The crew read Am I the Bushole stories, and suggest alternative recourses. Dan Wu's proposal is, it turns out, occult—and accidentally poetic?
I made the mistake of picking a thin calligraphy paper to do wet-on-wet watercolour, but turns out the buckling, once scanned, enhance the ritual!
Desert Bus 2024, Day 4. Dan Olson is a thoughtful person. Welcome to the unhinged madness that is Desert Bus for Hope; please come again!
I felt like the words speak for themselves and needed very little. I edited and formatted them into a contemporary poem, and added a little accent. That's all.
India ink and watercolour on textured paper. Italic script.

And here we were thinking of buying an SSD the worth of a house. Oh well, I guess that dream got broken. LOL. Also, there are a million reasons for not doing what we do every day, but yeah.
Oof, how did that happen? Also I am fan of hard drives, not SSds, mainly because they spin, and because the sound is kind of soothing if the hard drive is well-made. SSD is just like, nothing, silent. I have a 500Gb one, and it works, it's okay, but only if I need to use it for a VM from time to time. I won't deny the faster speeds though, also there should be some care of these ssds and whatever. I am not sure and I don't understand so I can't say much on it.
Also, that's not how you should write price tags, haha. Hey, that's also a lot of money here, like multiply by 2.15 and wow. I am not buying one any time soon. Goes way over my sallary.
