It depends on the use rights for whatever channel you use to get the Server 2016 licenses. I know volume license agreement licenses usually come with downgrade rights.

Surprise = zero.

Same morning tasks as usual, and, since it's Friday, critiquing New Music Friday of Spotify.

@scottalanmiller said in Nintendo Switch Announced:

Nintendo hasn't had a good console since the SNES in my opinion. The N64 was better than anything since then, but was nothing but a gimmick, the SNES era was the last time that Nintendo bothered to care about making good games. Everything past the SNES has been dependent on gimmicks to sell what are otherwise absolute garbage games.

If I could multiple-up-vote something, this would be it.

I loved Nintendo back in the day (NES, SNES). This new thing, in my humble opinion, looks hideous.

/sigh quote failure.

@scottalanmiller You haven't lost your mind, but the issue might be one of terminology. We use AD certificate services to push out machine certs, which (right now) we use with establishing VPN connections.

Ha! I'm actually not experiencing service issues (or at least my users haven't griped yet), and most of my administration is done through Powershell. Usually, I'll see an incident report with updates, which apparently do exist here. I just find it humorous that what's on the administration page is "we're working on it."

Good to know.

Getting caught up on the comments about my GPL question.

Listening to Naruto opening songs and checking daily event viewer stuff.

@thwr That's what I figured.

The second and third paragraphs of this article highlight what I thought was strange: https://blog.nexcess.net/2016/08/03/how-can-developers-make-a-living-from-gpl-plugins/

The idea that under the GPL it seems like it's allowed to take someone's work and distribute it as your own (either for free or for a fee). While that's clearly an ethical problem, it doesn't seem to be disallowed.

@Minion-Queen Sorry to hear. At least euthanasia is available for pets to end suffering.

Reading this for the first time: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html

I'm trying to wrap my head around how a software developer could actually make a living as a software developer licensing their software under these terms.

@JaredBusch Am grinding my cleric on p99 right now :P.
