Carcinization.

I’m starting to wonder if the fact that most upvoted NSFW posts on Lemmy being femdom(-y) is some kind of indicator.

Usually I recognize the gonewild regulars on Lemmy by their body parts. I recognize you by your smile.
This says a lot about society, or something, IDK.

Our thighs!

Stop this capitalist propaganda! (/s)

I have some experience with Latex, but afaik, it’s mostly for writing mathematical formulas and stuff, no?

I’m surprised this is still getting responses.
Fair jab, but I was obviously the computing term, implying “…from source code”.

This post is on the “front page”, didn’t come here deliberately.

Fair enough, I didn’t know that “open-source” is, in of itself, sort of a misnomer and, by the formal definition, a book can be open-source, because the phrase means certain specific things not tied to source code, contrary to what the name implies.
And in my defense, I’ve seen some software that required license key to use, with code available on GitHub or something that called itself open-source (I won’t be able to recall the specific names). I assume the term is misused often.

But “open source” doesn’t even mean that you can reproduce it or use it for free. It just means that you can see the source code. The permissiveness, as you mentioned, lies in the licensing.
So I still think that it’s a complete misnomer.

What’s an “open source” book? You don’t compile a book, aren’t they all “open source”? Do they list all the sources for their text or something?

Yeah, seems like I’m wrong. I looked up the docs on git-scm.com and it says that the default branch name is “currently master, but this is subject to change in the future”. Maybe GitHub threw me off.

Depends on your version of git, I believe.
