But, topically, will not block YouTube ads

If you never give a tv the internet, it stays a dumb tv, so far.

I think it’s only a matter of time before TV manufacturers start disabling the TVs if they can’t connect periodically. Or they’ll start shipping them with SIM cards.

I’m not sure if you’re being serious, but software engineering and IT systems administration are different roles typically filled by different people.

A company or organization can have a quite sophisticated IT department without having any software engineers on staff.

This is already happening.

She’s an ape, not a monkey, have some respect.

It’s not a branch, it’s the trunk

Don’t take career advice from Joe Piscopo.

FYI, Tidal is approximately the same price as Spotify and there are several tools floating around on GitHub which will allow you to download high quality flac files from that service.

Let me clarify: I did not mean ‘accecpt’ as in ‘accept and merge changes into the code’, but as ‘accept mail at this address’.

Often yes, but not necessarily. The GPL requires you to distribute the source code. But I’m not aware of any requirements to accept changes from anyone else.

Not quite correct. The GPL (any other free software license I’m aware of) doesn’t require you to accept changes from anyway. You can develop a piece of software and release it under the GPL without accepting public pull requests.

Free software licenses protect your rights to do certain things with the source code (the distinction from ‘source available’ software being exactly what is explicitly protected), but it doesn’t require you to accept or entertain changes from anyone who wants to make them–essentially you can force them to fork the project in those cases.
