Yup and I am getting sick of hearing this even on Arch Linux. Like, mofo, you could literally run a snapshot or backup before upgrading, don't blame us if you're yoloing your god damn computer. Windows have exactly the same problem too and this is why we have backups. Christ.

On my Arch Linux Install, I literally have a Pacman Hook that would forcibly run backup and verify the said backup before doing a system-wide update.

How it really works:

mpf_t temperature;

If confused...It's arbitrary sized floating precision number provided in LibGMP and you can find more information about mpf_t here.

Oof, sorry. :( I had hoped that they sorted it out by then...

Maybe try installing swiftshader?

Yep, and if open source licensing could be revoked on a whim, you can imagine the chaos that ensued. That would be my understanding as well, old version that have MPL license is perfectly fine to fork off, newer version might not be as it is under a different license. One of the reason why I liked Apache License is that it have make it explicitly clear that it's irrevocable whereas MPL it is operating on an assumption that it's not revocable. The most fundamental problem with the legal system in USA is that no law is "set in stone" and leaving things to assumption is open to reinterpretation by the judge who may have sided against you. (Hell, Google vs Oracle on Copyrighted API is still on case-to-case basis, so take it as you will.)

Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer. I just share what I learned from Legal Eagle youtube and few other sources.

I think it's asinine to ask the developer who contribute to your project, literally taking the time of the day writing the code and submit PR to your project, to pay money to you.

I wouldn't even bother contributing to the project at that point.

See for yourself and you can see this details in the FAQ.

This is not the first time it happens with Dotnet Open Source packages, there are some pretty funky things going on namely:

Imagesharp (They re-license from Apache 2 to something like Community/Commercial licenses and threw a huge fit over it)

Fody (It expects the software contributors of Fody to be a patron.)

Yep, biggest reason why I chose C language is Foreign Function Interface. Code you write for C is more than likely to be usable in just about any other languages.

I would most likely be using C11 for threads.h and stdatomic.h for foreseeable future, the problem with using the latest and greatest standard is the risk of compiler not supporting it, so I would likely wait at least 5 years before switching to C23 sometime in 2028 or 2029. There was a bit of a controversy around optional bound checking in C11 that they end up removing/deprecating it, I am sure C23 would have something going on.

I don't plan on using #embed or constexpr in favor of maintaining common C programming practices, language familiarity is still an important factor to thriving project as much as people nag on me to rewrite everything in Rust or C++.

I tried to use it, but it have some big issues in reliability, because at the end of the day, despise the dataset it's trained on, it's still something I describes as a "language interpolation."

It sometime make TERRIBLE recommendations for which tools/libraries I should explore, because it assumes that those libraries might have support. Those libraries never does and so I wasted weeks on it. (It doesn't help that both code and project are undocumented.)

So after that experience, I demote ChatGPT usefulness to just "cleaning up pre-written documentation so it sounds better." That's it.
