Many states in the US switched from opt-in to opt-out for organ donation. Usually we get upset about such tactics, but this change seems to have been widely supported even though it is a form of coercion and has informed consent issues.
Quite a tangent, but what if we apply this logic of informed consent to property? If a person without a will dies, should we leave their house abandoned until it decomposes? Automatic organ donation is like probate for bodies.
Indeed this is one of the big considerations of adoption or organ donation. Both revolutionized their respective markets: trafficking and involuntary organ trade. To say nothing of abortion and gay marriage - two much desired things in the US which nonetheless revolutionized the market for unethical embryo termination and involuntary marriage.
Kinda like prostitution where it has been legalized, in which the availability of ethically sourced human bodies (i.e., from licensed brothels) drives up the demand for unethically sourced bodies (sex trafficking).
It takes a different approach: 1-4 "robots" under the board moving pieces around - with the goal of being able to reset the board or setup a position super-quick!
The best thing we can do for the future of the project is to NOT engage with the project at this time ... Even just cloning the project into your private workspace to review / compile is giving more engagement than their current licensing stance warrants.
I'll check again when an HN post comes out stating they've changed their licensing stance - Until then, closing this tab and forgetting about it ...
The author justin frankel (also wrote reaper the DAW absolute legend) had this to say about it
> Question: Now that WinAMP's source has been officially released, do you have any desire to hack new badass features in?
Answer: If I did have any desire, it would be extinguished by the license terms, lol. The terms are completely absurd in the way they are written, e.g. "You may not create, maintain, or distribute a forked version of the software." So arguably making any changes would be considered "creating a forked version." But even taking these terms as they are likely intended (which is slightly more permissive than how they are written), they are terrible. No thank you.
So I can run orbstack and then still use "docker run ..." etc commands like usual?
I'm pretty happy with docker desktop generally, but looks like it stopped updating for the version of osx I'm using on my 2019 intel mbpro, so I'll definitely consider alternatives for it there ...
Yes. The same docker commands, including docker-compose, all still work.
It just sets a new "docker context" that points to OrbStack's socket file instead. You can instantly switch back to Docker Desktop with a simple `docker context use desktop-linux` command. So it's nearly zero cost to just try it out.
$ docker context ls
NAME DESCRIPTION DOCKER ENDPOINT
default Current DOCKER_HOST based configuration unix:///var/run/docker.sock
orbstack * OrbStack unix:///Users/mdeeks/.orbstack/run/docker.sock
OrbStack had the most noticeable difference for our users who were still on Intel Macbooks. It made mine stop spinning up fans randomly.
