Dota 2 comes to mind, they have the commend system. If I remember correctly they added something like this to CS: GO too.

Pretty sure the commendation system in CS is just for looks, as it can be easily gamed.

Arduino repos require a CLA since years, it was introduced 5 or 6 years ago if I remember correctly.

Isn't this quite useless, when they don't have the copyright on the initial version, since they didn't require a CLA back then?

CLA allows them to relicense your contributions under their own license - e.g. proprietary

A DCO would be the more friendly option.

I think the question is, what use is adding a CLA if the core functionality was under (A)GPL? Unless you go back and get all the OG contributors to sign over their rights, how can you relicense?

Yeah, exactly that's my point. The role of Arduino is like that of a Distro, they own the packet repository and the packet manager, and maintain a build-system and an IDE. They aren't the initial copyright holder to basically any library. The only thing they really own is the Arduino API, but this is an API not an implementation. The compiler is GCC, the board specific methods come from the hardware vendor, the C lib is newlib or comes also from the hardware vendor. The flasher software comes from a different company.

The libraries are written by random people, what Arduino does is adopt them after ~4-6 years of existing, slapping a "© Arduino LLC" on top and maybe fixing the packet manifest. The role of Arduino is a vendor and maintainer, they don't really are upstream for much things.

I don't really understand how what they try to achieve with these new "terms and conditions" is legally possible. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45978802) They could release new software with different licenses, but they would need to rewrite most of the ecosystem to do that. Neither MIT, nor LGPL, nor GPL nor AGPL contain any reference to "terms and conditions" of one of the copyright holders, which should be followed on top of the license.

You can’t sign the CLA if you are contributing code which you don’t have the right to relicense and isn’t appear under the CLA

Arduino wasn't in the best shape some months ago to be fair, quite some people took offers to lower their working hours with a lower salary too.

I heard the rumor quite some months ago but it was mostly speculation, altough it made sense after they acquired Edge Impulse.

I'm not sure whether to be happy or not to be fair. Main issues with Arduino while I was there was the leadership lack of vision and the unwillingness to support projects coming from the engineers. It was a company kinda coasting and unsure where to go.

If they replace leadership with people that have an clear vision and focus this might be good.

My greatest hope is that people with stocks don't get screwed over though, they used to distribute them quite "easily" at a certain point to avoid raising salaries.

They made this work? I remember testing it out some months ago and it didn't work because of some reason.

Yeah, it works as of ~3 months ago until now. t. user

Italy banned ChatGPT too when it came out for the same reason, then they agreed to add a disclaimer and call it a day.

Ah, this is nice!

I've been testing out Jujutsu this weekend and this will come in handy. I still need to wrap my head around the different overflow and this might make it easier.

I went a different way for my internal network, I use tv.it for my server and rt.it for the router. All two characters .it domains are non registrable so you risk no clash, the only existing one is q8.it.

I have a more in depth write up here: https://www.silvanocerza.com/posts/my-home-network-setup/

For internal networks the `internal` tld is reserved

I know.

Though I wanted a short URL, that's why I used .it any way.

Albeit uv is amazing this not a unique feature of the project.

Hatch has this feature since a year or so too. https://hatch.pypa.io/latest/how-to/run/python-scripts/

As mentioned in the article, along with PDM.

Not really, it was pretty clear from the investigation that some youtuber that I can't remember the name of that it wasn't just that.

One of the big claim from Honey is that it finds for you the coupons with that make you spend the least amount of money, but that's false if they have an agreement with the seller to only show you certain coupons.

So no, it doesn't affect just influencers, it affects also customers and vendors.

They were still getting coupons. Thus, for 99 percent of users, it wasnt a scam; It was just another crappy product.

To anyone with a modicum of business savvy, it's not remotely surprising. You literally (don't) get what you literally (don't) pay for.

The point of GP is that some of the people specifically affected (through honey replacing their codes) were influencers / streamers, who thus specifically

> could broadcast this to a lot of people.

Is it MegaLag's video that you are referring to? https://youtu.be/vc4yL3YTwWk

Yup yup, him.

LTT certainly talked about Honey replacing other discount codes in baskets potentially making a basket more expensive, and injecting their own affiliate code when no discount was available.

It was all thoroughly scummy and against the spirit of an affiliate referral.

But I don't understand why YouTubers were so surprised. This thing is clearly generating revenue to pay off all the top shelf YouTubers and it's clearly doing that by inserting affiliate codes to generate revenue. There's no ethical explanation as to where this extra saving and Honey's revenue comes from.

How was it clearly doing that? I always assumed Honey's model was to sell detailed shopping information of users.

That still comports with OP's statement:

> There's no ethical explanation as to where this extra saving and Honey's revenue comes from.

It felt clear to me because that's where the money is. Even if you don't understand that, YouTubers would because that's how they paid from all their sponsored links.

I also wouldn't expect PayPal to recoup this huge marketing investment from very partial purchase data. It'd be nothing compared to what VISA and the other big card companies collect.
