If I wanted to use these notes as direct source material for an open source quiz project, would that be okay? I've been looking for good, free, open source notes, Q&As, and diagrams but it's not easy.

I had issues searching for Lemmy communities until I updated my docker-compose to give the "lemmy" container it's own network.

I don't know... if joins are so good, why did it take so long for them to show up via SQL? /s

Here's a post on Mastodon that links to their blog where they describe different clients.

I haven't experienced any crashes. I'm just getting annoyed with it resetting the view when I rotate my phone by accident. It takes me back to Local and changes my filter back to default. Painful.

I feel like putting it in a VM is probably overkill. I just have everything running in Docker containers and it's pretty good like that.

Section 1, step 2 states "update: To update the Watch Face with the current date and time. This is called every minute by the PineTime Firmware to refresh our Watch Face."

Good to know that it's touch screen. I would love if I could push a button on this watch and run a POST request to my server. Do you happen to know of that's possible?

I think we may be talking about two different things with regards to corporate control. I'm saying that, in the case with Redhat specifically, that their injection of a fee to access the source code now no longer makes the code freely available to downstream repositories. If they comically charged a billion dollars to access the source code (with a GPL) it would practically become closed source, so I'm curious why any entity can charge any amount to access open source software. And if it's totally legal with this type of license, doesn't that mean that we should be avoiding GPL at all costs?

Correct me if I'm mistaken. What I read from your post sounds to me like you think that we should accept that a company will inject a revenue stream into the process that we all were working on as an open source project. We weren't expecting to get paid, so why not allow the company to get paid, regardless of the downstream impacts for other projects that once relied on the project being completely free and open. Do I understand that properly? I don't want to misrepresent your intent. I feel like I must be misunderstanding something.

It looks like Pinetime lets you customize the watch face with Rust, but is it touchscreen? Am I right in seeing that it only runs the update logic once every minute?

How does this work with the code license? If this is all fine, doesn't this mean that we should be avoiding the kind of license they're using in the future?

I generally avoid this situation. At best I'll create an Rc<HashMap<T, U>> to pass around. I find that having a need for a static variable can be an indication of bad design. It often makes the code that depends on it untestable.
