When I used .tk briefly in 98-99 it was using iframes and they injected ads and/or opened pop-ups IIRC.

I don't, and I don't know anyone working with me thar is using any LLM (we pair). Some tried Copilot at some point and concluded it was useless for our use case.
Not sure on what context one would constantly use LLMs.
I use mostly open source, so I'm not used to buy software, but when I did it in the late 90s there was expectation of it including some support (eg. updates until the next major version); but not always (it often required physical media).
After that, the software was "final".
What is the standard these days?
Because it is only me editing content, I use markdown with Hugo + rsync, that is close enough.

I mean, if we don't take into account that implementing this is just a joke anyway :D
If you are interested, look for the historical reasons for that.
Edit: OK, a good source.
> On March 16th 1940, the clocks jumped from 23:00h to 00:00h to display the same time as Nazi Germany and other Nazi-occupied countries such as France and the Netherlands. This was an entirely politically motivated move to show support to the fascist government of Germany and showed no consideration for the natural cycle of the sun in Spain. According to the original 24-hour division of the world, Spain’s latitudinal position meant that GMT was the most natural time-zone for it to follow.

Spanish civil war was won by the fascists and Franco's dictatorship followed.
I haven't checked if it was the case, but organisation type of license with a pack of users could have worked well.
I wonder of it would be better if Google was out of Usenet completely instead of not completely caring.
I used it first with XFCE and later with i3.
A permissive licence doesn't really transmit the intent of the author, philosophy or not (it doesn't really matter, the licence is the same).
A copyleft licence, on the other hand, backs the philosophy behind free software via the actual licence.
But you are right, it should be "copyleft vs permissive open source".
But in practical terms, it is too complicated (ethics!), so all is down to copyleft or not, which I believe is what the parent comment was referring to.
Perhaps that's what we should be using: copyleft vs open source, instead of free software vs open source.
(it doesn't, is just a link to the github repo)
It makes everything harder if you want to use a tool without really using it so you can move to a different one if needed.
I can't see anything to celebrate here. The bill should have been amended further.

They didn't change the bill, but also said "If the appropriate technology doesn’t exist which meets those requirements, then Ofcom will not be able to use clause 122 to require its use".
AFAIK the best options are https://www.eternal-september.org/ and https://usenet.blueworldhosting.com/ (read only though).
Sorry, but you make it sound like there are many. That allow posting, and free, I think I only know one.
Not sure what effect these have, but I wonder how many people don't know about Firefox at all.
And the JVM, and compilation times, and poor Scala 3 support on editors / IDEs.
I prefer the Haskell tooling TBH.
Even if it was just serviceable, he's Metallica's drummer, so he's going to be criticised anyway.
Would terraform have been as popular it if had never been open source? That we won't know, but we can guess.
It throws the baby with the water, a bit.
Despite all that, it is still useful, but not enough to ignore all that it could have had but is missing.
When I asked for this I was told they had looked at my GH account and that it was clear that I had the skills they needed. That was nice.
Something similar happened on the job after that.
But in the last two gigs I had to do a coding exercise and I was a bit disappointed that my GH didn't seem to have an effect.
The difference? In the last two jobs the companies were big organisations, with a clear interviewing process, and the technical interview was on hands of almost random engineers that could even not be part of the team I was joining.
When I have been involved in the process, I always look for public open source code. So far I have never had a candidate with an active GH account.
Personally, I have been happier working with the people that cared about these things.
The assumption all citizens use those private services is wrong and dangerous.
