Thought I'd Died & Linux Was the Messenger

I woke up from an unplanned nap on the couch and opened my /home folder to dive back into something I was working on. While I was dozing on the couch, this file appeared in /home and it scared the crap out of me for a second when I saw it.

My first thought was that it was the 2025 version of “The Handbook for the Recently Deceased”. 😂

Turns out it was just an error message from Taskwarrior and I wasn’t dead. Whew!

What if it was a binary file and you didn’t have a program to read it 😯

I’m making a game taking place in a fake operating system and…

This gives me ideas

Please include an easter egg that leads to this post, thank you

Absolutely will :3

If you use the idea you have to make the entire game GPL v2 sorry. Lemmy is GPL, this post is on Lemmy, your game was in some way inspired by it, full game is GPL.

Pretty sure that’s how it works. They do say GPL is a viral license

ferric_carcinization@lemmy.ml on 17 Aug 06:20 next collapse

Lemmy is not GPLv2, but AGPLv3.

So, the game would have to be (A)GPLv3. (The licenses are fairly interoperable. IIRC you can use AGPL components in GPL software if you abide by the terms of the AGPL.)

Viral licenses are nice and all, but they’re not without their drawbacks. I caught GPL recently (the slightly rarer Affero v3 strain) and now no DNA testing companies want me as a customer. I can no longer write MIT or BSD licensed code. Whenever I open a project, a LICENSE file appears within ~15 minutes of contact. I hope to recover soon.

Daaamn… I’ve been open sourced

Not FOSS, but OneShot: World Machine Edition is a great game based on this idea.

AkatsukiLevi@lemmy.world on 17 Aug 14:57 collapse

OneShot is literally the main inspiration for my game :3
