Close enough, you’re cool. Here’s the actual list though (wiki link):
- Freedom 0: The freedom to use the program for any purpose.
- Freedom 1: The freedom to study how the program works, and change it to make it do what you wish.
- Freedom 2: The freedom to redistribute and make copies so you can help your neighbor.
- Freedom 3: The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements (and modified versions in general) to the public, so that the whole community benefits.
It depends on where you sleep. Basement vs upstairs can make a huge difference at the same thermostat setting. I keep mine set to be between 19°C and 25°C and don’t have trouble sleeping.
Speaking of which, anyone else use Home Assistant / Z-Wave?
My only question is “What are the four essential freedoms of free software?”. If they can list them I know they’re alright

We’ve got a PBF community here on Lemmy:
I’ve been posting new strips as they’re posted, and old strips daily at [email protected]
I’ve been posting the strips over at [email protected] if anyone’s interested in seeing them via Lemmy
There’s a Lemmy community for it too: [email protected]
You can probably get your instance admin to ban any bot accounts that aren’t being honest, which is also a step up for Reddit.

What sort of background are you coming from? That might help recommendations. This is a great resource for example if you’re coming from a YEC background, but not so much for other backgrounds that don’t deny science:
Doesn’t really help much. Seems to be some spin on blockchain/cryptocurrency, and doesn’t really do a good job of explaining the value proposition.
Create, enable and scale economic and digital exchange across and between diverse sectors.
Seems cryptocurrency related. Lot of marketing fluff.
Beckn Protocol is perhaps the least well-known project outside of tech circles, but is likely the most impactful of all work Nilekani has championed since Aadhaar
Who and what are those?
The github repo is slightly better, but not by much:
Beckn is an open protocol that allows local businesses across any industry to be discovered and engaged by any beckn-enabled application. Beckn protocol helps businesses co-create solutions for the masses seamlessly, by combining services of any form or provider.
Beckn protocol is a collection of open specifications consisting of protocol APIs, message formats, network design and reference architectures to allow any two entities to execute commercial transactions without being on the same platform.
This server-to-server communication protocol allows any consumer facing online platform to discover and transact with any business with minimal implementation overhead. The server-to-server nature of the protocol allows rich user experiences to be built by bundling services from multiple independent platforms.
Beckn protocol decouples the demand side digital infrastructure in the form of apps and other channels from the supply side service provisioning infrastructure. It does this by making integratedservices available not just on a single platform but potentially on any online consumer interface, (online maps, messaging, wallets, voice assistant apps and devices) that have mainstream adoption in a city.
Beckn is a protocol, not a platform. It adopts a decentralized architecture that obviates the need for creating a centralised platform in order to integrate services from multiple providers simultaneously ensuring privacy and security by design by enabling secure, encrypted iteractions.
The project could really use a “What problem is this trying to solve?” section. Is it aiming to replace something existing like HTTPS/Visa/etc?
Yeah, they’re definitely still the standard. They’re not really replaced by comments, comments are more for explaining why bits of code are the way they are. Docstrings are kind of like comments for functions/classes/etc that Python knows how to handle specially. The interpreter will parse the docstrings and make help text out of them available to the
helpbuiltin function

We’ve got a welcome thread to point you in the right direction if you’re new to the discuss.online and/or the Fediverse: https://discuss.online/post/16318079. If chat is your thing, we’ve also got a chatroom at https://matrix.to/#/#online.discuss:discuss.online
Lastly I’ll plug the [email protected] community that I help mod as well. I just posted the weekly How was your week in the US? thread and asked how many geese everyone thinks they could take on.
