  • I think you misunderstood what “viral” mean in that context.

    If a file, under GPL, is added to a project, the whole project becomes dual licensed under the original licence plus GPL, which propagate to the whole project, like a virus. I know comparing it to something like a virus sound derogative, but this is the best way to describe its effect.

    If a file, under MPL, is added to a project, the project do not become MPL, only the added part is. Said project cannot change the MPL licensed part to another licence, but still can build anything it wish using it.

    Globally, a GPL licensed project protects the user more, but also prevent the devs from doing a lot of thing, which MPL does not.

    In the end, this is the devs freedom to chose which licence they wish to publish their code under, not ours.












  • Note to the community :
    self promotion is allowed on this community, what we disallowed is excessive self promotion.
    Things like multiple post in a short timespan, not disclosing ones link to a specific game, or anything that is made to manipulate the community to make a game look better or more popular that it is really. Sames goes for new account posting ads to games, never to be seen again

    So let’s check here:

    • He disclosed his link to the game : yes
    • Posted about it multiple times is a short time : I didn’t see anything like that, but feel free to report if it is the case
    • Is active : yes
    • No suspicious link : yes

    In my book, this is 100% legit. No need to report.




  • I’m not a plumbing expert (I got an electronic degree before going for CS), but I can extrapolate from my own experience.

    If it does a bit like electricity, it comes from how much water the main line can let through. If it is sufficiently sized, and can accept enough water for both your tap and shower, all you’ll see is a pressure fluctuations (it will be divided per open tap). But if it is not big enough, the water will go to the shorter route first, which depending on the configuration may be the tap or the shower.
    At my old man home, we are in the former case, which mean he often used what this comic shows to make sure we finish our shower if it gets too long to his liking (he is an asshole sometimes 😂).
    Meanwhile, at my current home, the boiler is just next to the shower, so the shower takes priority.

    The biggest difference with electricity though, is that you can put far more electricity than the wiring is made for, which can cause fires, which you cannot with water. 😅
