Honestly, a colour picker is the last piece of software you should be translating names for. Even everyday colour names don't have a direct translation. The line between "blue" and "green" is very slightly different than the line between "bleu" and "vert", and the same goes for any other two languages. If you're serious about your colour picker accuracy and you want to localize to another language, it would actually be more correct to have a completely different set of colour values, rather than trying to translate them. (Though "Liquid Nyquil" may be perceived the same across languages. I haven't seen any studies on that one)

Wait, I don't see that in the article. Who's he suing now?
Is it entitlement to expect to get what was advertised from a service you pay for? If they advertise $x/month for 4k and you pay them $x/month and get 720p, that seems like a very legitimate complaint to me.
I love the arrogant confidently incorrect at the end of the blog.
- The comments in the code are wrong
- The official documentation is wrong
- The manpage is wrong
- Every blog article ever written is wrong
- Linus Torvalds is wrong
- Everyone who knows what they're talking about is wrong
- No, I don't know how to read kernel code. Why do you ask? You're wrong
- Shut up. You're wrong
Hm, he and his wife are getting on in years. If they want a son, they should probably get on that right away.
Some of it is incredibly difficult to imagine how to do in a private way, too.
For example, my browser can display AVIF images. If my browser announces in the Accept "hey, I'm able to display AVIF images. Please send me AVIF images if you have them rather than JPEG", that helps to identify me, since most browser don't display AVIF, which sucks. But I really want to get AVIF images: they're efficient. So how do I announce that I want AVIF images without announcing that I want AVIF images?
Some of the other web features were well-intentioned but have just ended up being useless. Like your browser also announces what language you prefer. Like "hey if you a German version of this text, please send it to me in German, thanks". But for some reason EVERY WEBSITE IGNORES THIS and just says "oh you speak Spanish and English but you're travelling in Russian right now? HOPE YOU LIKE READING RUSSIAN FUCKER". So it's 100% only used for invading privacy now.
Some of the tracking mechanisms never should have been allowed in the first place (like timezone and which fonts I have installed), but some of them (like Accept) I can't think of how to do in a secure way.
The scary thing? Define "new". This judgment is from a lawsuit in 2014. So any car made in at least the last 9 years is doing this. Maybe newer cars are doing even worse things.
Whoa whoa slow down with this new-fangled fad ideas. Next you'll try and tell me every user process doesn't run in ring 0.
For anyone not wanting to read through that article, here's the tl;dr:
Apache requires you to note what changes (if they're "substantial") you made to the code. Otherwise it's identical to MIT.
BSD is effectively identical to MIT.
It's a cool idea and the example they gave actually seemed pretty neat.
I'd (somewhat perversely) love to see this feature tried in a terminal emulator. ANSI does actually define escape codes for switching to alternative fonts (ESC [ 10 m through ESC [ 19 m) though I don't know of any software or even term drawing library that uses it.
No he does actually mention in the middle of that that while code must be free, art is different because art is not software. I guess he's imagining a situation where a game would have multiple licences (one licence for the code, a different one for the art assets).
