  • I can’t speak for Terry Szuplat, but I would think the same rules apply.

    How exactly would calling an anti-abortion extremist a subhuman nazi terrorist help anything at all? It might make them feel more strongly in their beliefs. It might make you look bad, and get more votes for anti-abortion extremist positions. It might normalize the language of dehumanization, furthering aims of authoritarians. MAGA lives on victimhood, making it stronger hardly helps. Listening and being reasonable may be hard, but is more likely to be heard.

    Regarding tolerance of the intolerant - I see no incompatibility. Vote to ensure their views don’t win. Outlaw violence. There’s times where civil disobedience is called for. Terry isn’t suggesting just give up and let others run things out of fear of offending someone.

    If I may offend you now by including Star Wars as a Disney movie, Luke doesn’t win by killing his father and becoming emperor. That was Vader’s thing. Vader is evil. So is Trump. But I wouldn’t go airing commercials talking about how evil Trump and his vermin followers are unless I was aiming to get Trump elected.


  • With SSPLv1, does that mean one can sell redis hosting as long as everything used to manage it is open source? It says it’s based on AGPL. So if say digitalocean open sourced all their api’s and UI they could still offer managed redis. It seems like the answer is yes but then the blog post also says

    Under the new license, cloud service providers hosting Redis offerings will no longer be permitted to use the source code of Redis free of charge.

    That sounds like no.
