Last time SWIM used a patcher, it came with a malware dropper. Is that still how this "free" works?

X/X11 is a client-server protocol from the age of 10Mbps networks, intended for a bunch of "dumb terminals" connected to a mainframe that runs the apps, with several "optimizations" that over time have become useless cruft.

Wayland is a local machine display system, intended for computers capable of running apps on the same machine as the display (aka: about everything for the past 30 years).

Nowadays, it makes more sense to have a Wayland system (with some RDP app if needed), than an X11 system with a bunch of hacks and cruft that only makes everything slower and harder to maintain. An X11 server app acting as a "dumb terminal", can still be run on a Wayland system to display X11 client apps if needed.

That license would require the AI model to only output content under the same license. Not sure if you realize, but commercial use is part of the OpenSource definition:

https://opensource.org/osd/

Your content would just get filtered out from any training dataset.

As for going against commercial companies... maybe you are a lawyer, otherwise good luck paying the fees.

There was a sweet spot when cat videos went pro. Then the spam killed it.
