Yes, a creator can create a closed source copy (independent of the GPL’d work), assuming they have full ownership or permission from all contributors
It’s not fully academic only because it’s common for companies to develop a GPL version and offer commercial licenses where the corporate customer is exempt
But none of this affect the users of the GPL version, so most people don’t care
You can’t call it GPL3 and at the same time claim the copyright.
Weil you can (because you still own the copyright after giving your work that license), but you have given a legally binding promise to not impose additional restrictions so it won’t do you any good to try
Posting for an audience of one
Consumer protection here kicks in after you paid for something, until then you’re just a visitor
A restaurant owner can kick you out for not liking your colors. They rarely do because it’s bad for business.
Two wrongs don’t make a right
They made the prices so insane that most 3rd party apps couldn’t justify the higher subscription price
They didn’t even evacuate their bases in advance! They didn’t even install air defenses at them! They did nothing whatsoever to prepare! They just assumed instant success!
No he didn’t follow a plan. The plans said things like Iran would counter attack and try to close the strait. Trump and his team didn’t even look at the plans. They went with Netanyahu’s suggestion
The biggest clue to that bombing is them admitting they asked AI for targets and it delivered outdated info
Trump went to war without a plan, the lack of plans didn’t stop him
Remember the touch panel on the back and the games that used it?
AFAICT they probably won’t be advertising it as a general distro because they want some control of it (broad hardware compatibility is hard) but they do want other OEMs to use it and contribute patches to make it work on their hardware, which is easier on Linux if the distro is simply available to test on other hardware freely and patches can be upstreamed via the Linux kernel for drivers, etc
Tldr the public release will probably be full of disclaimers and oriented to PC makers
Via USB, your options are extra software on the PC or jailbreaking the phone to install a kernel module. (edit: that kernel module would be the UVC one, seems like some phones ship it already)
The easiest solution is streaming the image over the network.
If you’re connected by USB then Android phones support ethernet over USB adapters, so you can make the computer present a network connection over the USB cable (internet sharing over USB) for more stable streaming.
It does use deniable encryption, but that stops working as a defense the second they take your phone and copy all logs from your device.
And large group chats relies on how well you can vet participants more than it relies on encryption itself, and if they’re too large they may as well not be encrypted.
They changed that. You can make yourself undiscoverable by just the number now
At that point you can rely on nothing but Tor or I2P
Nothing else hides metadata better than Signal, without involving large networks of independent nodes that participate in Sybil resistant routing. The only thing that gets close is threshold schemes where you still need multiple independent entities running servers.
What evidence do you have that Signal collects anything? Traffic logs from the app or something?
There’s apparently multiple tools with the name, but none does the obvious of scanning unused space in the file system for remnants of unlinked files (there’s other tools doing that, but not using that name)
Here in Sweden we have that too, and we just got new machines in many of the bigger stores which sorts for you. You open the lid and there’s an angled wheel with indents which pulls up the bottles and cans you pour in from your bags, and they end up on a conveyor belt for scanning and sorting. While not magically fast, it really does help when people have a ton of bottles and cans
It shouldn’t generally be obvious they are blocked. Especially for texts (that aren’t RCS) they should learn nothing
