I woke up from an unplanned nap on the couch and opened my /home folder to dive back into something I was working on. While I was dozing on the couch, this file appeared in /home and it scared the crap out of me for a second when I saw it.

My first thought was that it was the 2025 version of “The Handbook for the Recently Deceased”. 😂

Turns out it was just an error message from Taskwarrior and I wasn’t dead. Whew!

    If you use the idea you have to make the entire game GPL v2 sorry. Lemmy is GPL, this post is on Lemmy, your game was in some way inspired by it, full game is GPL.

    Pretty sure that’s how it works. They do say GPL is a viral license

      Lemmy is not GPLv2, but AGPLv3.

      So, the game would have to be (A)GPLv3. (The licenses are fairly interoperable. IIRC you can use AGPL components in GPL software if you abide by the terms of the AGPL.)

      Viral licenses are nice and all, but they’re not without their drawbacks. I caught GPL recently (the slightly rarer Affero v3 strain) and now no DNA testing companies want me as a customer. I can no longer write MIT or BSD licensed code. Whenever I open a project, a LICENSE file appears within ~15 minutes of contact. I hope to recover soon.
