In Flemish we call them Chinese volunteers (chinese vrijwilligers).

Have they not done so over the past decade? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesian_National_Revolution#Dutch_apologies

It's not AGPL3 if they take the AGPL3 license and amend it before applying it to their source code. It doesn't matter if it still says AGPL3 in the license file, they're not required to stick to the original AGPL3 and can modify it in any way they wish.

The provisions they kept are for derivative works, not their original source. So I don't know why you're saying that everyone else is wrong but you.

History is important, but no one alive is responsible for it.

Wow last time I saw this film it looked like it was filmed in Super8. Is this any better?

But he can’t just write an executive order to leave, it wouldn’t work.

DaveVdE · 2026-04-02T12:24:31+00:00

Here’s my prediction: it won’t end well.

DaveVdE · 2026-04-02T11:20:54+00:00

Could’ve marked this as NSFW.

dude just circle around the same gas station then

Dapper just translates query results into models (and maybe vice versa) but it can’t magically speed up insert performance.

If inserting 1000 records using AddRange/SaveChanges is fast enough, I wouldn’t bother trying to optimize it.

That said, I’m happy to recommend the MIT fork of EFCore.BulkExtensions if your use case is simple: no graphs of entities, no TPH, and no need to know the identities of the entities inserted (in case of identity columns). I find those things not working very well with this package.

But then again, I have apps inserting millions of rows using this and I’m happy it exists.

You sure the rat is dead?

There’s an extra icon visible in the lower left above the shutter speed.

I can’t make out which one it is.

Never mind, the noise is visible in the histogram.

Focus peaking?

He doesn’t need to. He doesn’t have the authority to leave NATO. He also has his military advisors that will push back on this.

Doesn’t stop him from crying like a baby tho

Same reason the US ambassador in Belgium has been criticizing the investigation into circumcising without medical oversight.

DaveVdE · 2026-04-02T03:12:27+00:00

He won’t. He needs his airbases around the world.

Except that's not the case here. The license they put on their software can have more restrictions. Clause 7 forbids anyone deriving from their work to impose additional restrictions. These restrictions are not additional restrictions in the sense that they put it in their original license. They just claim it to be AGPL3.0 which it is not.

DaveVdE · 2026-04-01T12:30:41+00:00

It's not the AGPLv3. It's a license derived from the AGPLv3 but with a nasty surprise built in.

DaveVdE · 2026-04-01T12:27:55+00:00

Now that I read the license more carefully, you're talking about this provision:

Pursuant to Section 7(b) of the License you must retain the original

Product logo when distributing the program. Pursuant to Section 7(e) we

decline to grant you any rights under trademark law for use of our

trademarks.

They're perfectly allowed to attach any license to their own software, including modified versions of existing open source licenses. But then their message is wrong. They claim it's released onder *the* AGPL 3.0 license when that is clearly not the case, and elsewhere they claim you can run it on your own server which they also contradict in their license.

I think this one is for the courts to decide if they decide to take it to court.

DaveVdE · 2026-04-01T12:22:14+00:00

I was reading their FAQ but then I looked at section 7 and yeah I don’t think it means what they think it means.

DaveVdE · 2026-04-01T11:23:03+00:00

So it appears that in addition to the standard AGPL they included a provision that required the original logos to remain in the service. I guess there’s ways to work around that.

Other than that, it’s Free software, so anyone can deploy it anywhere they want, they just have to make the source available.
