Without a license, a company can take your code, compile it into a program, publish that under a different name, slap their own proprietary license on it which prohibits free use, and then sue you, the developer, for copyright infringement.
Applying a license such as GPL to your open source code makes that legally impossible.

25 years ago I could get everything I need within 1 hour by riding the tram or my bicycle to the store.
Where experts in their field recommended the right product for me, and weren’t aggressively pushed by their employer to upsell.
(This wasn’t in the US though).
Today, the only things left in the city are shops for smartphones, sports betting, vapes and barbers where the haircut somehow costs half as much as the mandatory minimum wage with taxes. - Comment on Deal with it, Libby. 2 weeks ago:

I disagree. Capitalists are definitely pushing towards running everything in society on economic principals, letting private businesses take over public infrastructure, social services, culture, communication and defense.
It just isn’t fully realized anywhere (yet). - Comment on What would the next pres of USA have to do to gain back trust for America? Hold a televised event saying the last person was just a fuck up? 2 weeks ago:

The Capitalist ideal is that you don’t need a state, cause if everyone only maximizes their own wealth with no barriers for the market, it will somehow work out to everyone’s best interest in the end.
If a global trillion $ corporation does shitty things, people will freely choose to buy from a newly sprung up competitor who doesn’t do that.
Homeless people won’t freeze in the street cause a benevolent billionaire will choose to help them.
And somehow, that system can keep growing exponentially forever in a world with limited resources.
We’re as far away from ideal functioning Capitalism as from ideal functioning Communism. - Comment on You have nothing to lose but your brains 2 weeks ago:

- Comment on Even if we found a feasible way through physics to travel through time, wouldn't it still be impossible due to the evolution of bacteria and our immune systems? 3 weeks ago:
There is no objective reference frame in the universe, and it makes much more sense to assume you’d stay on earth, bound by its gravity while time-traveling, than to magically lose all your momentum during the transition and stop in space.

Non-profit only means that any profits generated will be reinvested into the organization, donated or put in a trust fund that finances things the owners want, as a tax avoidance scheme. It has nothing to do with how high the salaries are.
Mozilla is a non-profit and their salaries aren’t that bad:

Racist ideology is a tool used by the rich to divide the poor.
If you’re rich enough, you’re one of the “good ones”. - Comment on Hands-on with ChatGPT's powerful new image engine 3 weeks ago:
People who are not writers think AI can replace writers.
People who are not translators think AI can replace translators.
People who are not developers think AI can replace devs.
You think AI is “a shot across the bow for design work” since you are not a designer.
Everyone thinks AI can do other people’s jobs because they’re not experts in those areas.I wonder what your profession is, and whether you think AI could replace you and deliver the same quality of work.
