@drewdevault I cant tell you how many times people released their innovated idea under a copy-left license only to be angered when they realized the consequences, the vital nature, and the lock-in that resulted. Many abandoned the project and had to start over...

To each their own, but I will never use a copyleft license again.

@drewdevault No, I didnt say anything about proprietary software. And it allows for that just fine.

@drewdevault

I assume you mean "virality".. and no, it prevents quite a bit else.. for example it prevents switching or in some cases even using other copy-left licenses. It is also well known for not working well along side other open-source licenses in general.

There have been countless open-source projects that had to be abandoned and restarted from scratch due to the virality of a copyleft license that prevented progress regarding open-source interests due to licensing conflicts.

X.org server I think was the one that had to be abandoned, or was it XFree86.. one of the major X11 implementations had to be completely abandoned and rewritten as whatever replaced it.

This cant be said enough... When i had a doctor come to my door asking if i had any masks to donate I had some choice words for that schmuck.

Ya know I never considered banning health insurance... and I was about to say that sounds idiotic... but as I try to type it i just keep going "he aint wrong".. if everyone had to pay cash people would be pissed as fuck at the rip off prices and might actually demand some change.

The problem is people dont know how to fix problems. So while they would demand change that demand would be "make it free for everyone!" and then we are right back at having insurance again.

@realcaseyrollins

The issue with supply-demand market mentality in healthcare is that the supply in limited and demand is infinite. You can always pay more to live longer, with diminishing returns, and most people will give everything they own to live just one more peaceful day.

You simply cant use supply and demand in that sort of dynamic without reaching extortion level prices quicky, as we have already seen.

Even so, a rich person will spend a lot of money getting exorbanant care for a broken bone if they are scared of long-term function. People can be quite irrational about their health.

@realcaseyrollins

its not about how much they will spend, its about the fact that any person of any amount of money will spend all their disposable income and much of their indisposable income to get it.

A rich person wouldnt spend their last 500K on a car if it meant they were homeless. They would spend that on a treatment if they knew it would bive them a happier and or longer life.

@realcaseyrollins

No thats my point... most people dont have it, yet spend it anyway, thats the point.

> How can people spend what they don't have?

Debt. You go in, get treated, get a bill, dont have the money to pay, you just spent money you dont have. Its very common.

@realcaseyrollins

Its not even a loan, you dont even know what your spending till you walk out most of the time.

Many years ago i had asthema, fairly severe. My insurance had lapsed and I spent a day or two in the hospital. Cost me almost 100K by the time I left, didnt have a penny to my name.

@freemo is the gradle template completely broken for you too?

@icedquinn Hold on, those errors mean nothing to me if i dont know what you did from the docs that got you those errors... like whats the exact command your running and what does your gradle file look like?

@freemo@qoto.org avatar

@icedquinn I assume you mean the template in the intro (there is more than one)... ok let me try here locally.

@icedquinn

So i jsut tried it, changed nothing, not even the quotes, and it worked fine for me. try the groovy version not the kotlin one thts the standard way

@icedquinn

Cant help with that, if i try running kotlin i get totally different errors, so clearly kotlin isnt ready for prime time.
