rchat 0.5 is here. It brings a few more commands such as setting how quickly messages are loaded.

It is likely one of the last feature updates, as new features will come in the form of patches.

-

rchat now has it's own page on my website, you can check it out here: https://speedie.gq/rchat.html

In addition to this, patches are now available. At the time of making this post, there's a .Xresources patch available for 0.5

Please be respectful and don't abuse the new feature.

- To install rchat 0.5 on Gentoo, add my overlay, you can find out how to do so by following this link: https://github.com/spoverlay/splay.

Most other licenses including the MIT allow anyone to fork the project and redistribute it just like the GPL but the problem is the license can be changed to whatever the fork author wants. This also includes a proprietary license which goes against what I want out of a license. I want to prevent non-free software, I don't want to help non-free software.

- How are you helping non-free software?

Essentially I'm writing their software for them, so then they can just fork it and make proprietary spyware out of it. This has happened to many different projects and you can thank these licenses that don't prevent a license change for proprietary firmware and other nasty stuff that (probably) runs on your GNU/Linux box. Some people may argue that the GPL is actually non-free because it doesn't let you fork under another license but I heavily disagree

-

At first it may seem like that but as soon as someone forks your software and changes the license to a non-free license you have MORE proprietary spyware so in the end you're causing more problems than you're solving. The GPL essentially tries to end proprietary software by providing a license which guarantees freedom like I stated in my previous post. which is something I support. So that begs the question. Should you switch to the GNU GPLv3 license?

Now, I would like to add that if you're heavily against the GNU project or the Free Software Foundation due to Richard Stallman, then you probably do not want to use the GPL. And most of the time the people who choose to NOT use the GPL for this reason cannot actually find a justifiable reason for their choice. I don't know about you and it's not my decision but either way the GPL is just a software license and therefore it really doesn't matter who wrote it. Just know that by using a license that doesn't prevent/stop non-free software, you're making the world a worse place.

If your goal in addition to providing users with freedom and a great piece of software then the GPL is probably for you. The GPLv3 license guarantees freedom for anyone who uses the software. Therefore in my opinion by using the GPLv3 license you are making the world a better place by stopping potential proprietary software.

That's all for this blog post I guess, bye.

Another day another blog post!

Windows/macOS users often call me an elitist GNU/Linux user but is that really deserved? Well, I personally don't think or care too much about people's opinions on me. After all, I have better things to do and since it's so common to call GNU/Linux users 'elitist', it doesn't really mean anything to me.

However, since this is so common I wanted to find this out for myself. So let's think for a moment here? Why do I write blog posts just like the one you're reading?

-

Well, for me it's because it allows me to say exactly what I think whenever I want. It's a nice way to (sometimes) express your anger at something. However I don't really view myself as an elitist. After all, I write blog posts like this one and write guides like this one. I went out of my way to help new GNU/Linux users in this case install Arch.

If I was an elitist I'd tell you to 'RTFM' like every Arch user ever. Instead I went out of my way to help you get started with Arch.

What I'm not about to do however is read the 'FM' for you. If you aren't capable of reading plain English then I will call you exactly what I view you as, an idiot or a normie.

In addition to this, it ALWAYS seems like the people calling me an elitist are part of this group. People who will complain about something being difficult without having the patience to read and perform. They will call anyone who uses software that they view difficult to use (for example Gentoo, Arch, or suckless software) an elitist. They can't seem to find one reason why anyone would actually want to use said software except to look cool on the internet.

This might actually be my last blog post.. sort of. Now that I have your valuable attention, please read the rest of the blog post!

So, a few days ago I started working on a website redesign. However I quickly realized that it was more work than it was worth. So instead, I decided that it would be easier to straight up start from scratch. No, not completely from scratch, that would be ridiculously time consuming.

However I decided that it would be easier to create the HTML manually, from scratch and then copy over the text (such as blog posts) from the older page.

-

Anyways, let's get to the point of this blog post which is, I need suggestions regarding the redesign. Anything. What should I implement, what kind of design should I go for? This time, I am able to use PHP for the header, which I will likely end up doing however as always, speedie.gq will stay as an anti-JavaScript website and as such, I am not going to add a single line of it even if it makes my website look nicer.

Here are some ideas I've got myself:

Again, all Wii repositories will stay up. Any Discord specific content is also going to be uploaded to these repositories to make sure nothing gets lost. That's what we tried to prevent in the beginning, right?

Either way, with that being said, if you'd like to keep up with me and/or my projects, I have a website at speedie.gq where I post the current information. In fact I may post this on my website too! As for the staff members here, simply ask them!
