When/Why do you choose a non-copyleft licence over the (L)GPL?

I'm interested in finding out why people use non-copyleft licences for new projects. I found some ideas on when a different licence might be useful at [https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-recommendations.html](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-recommendations.html#contributing) but I have seen new 'independent' projects using licences which would allow others to take their work to proprietary software and screwing with the FLOSS ideas of the creators and contributors. Btw do you have examples for such practices?

Is there any application / noscript to automatically move files?

I download a lot of things (images, videos, files) from the web. I'd like to find a way to keep my downloads folder organized. A program that looks at the file type, and moves it to a selected folder, would be the perfect solution.

I've been searching in the Software Center, didn't find anythinh.

I use Manjaro with KDE desktop.

Thanks!

Kernel based User Isolation vs Container/Chroot

I have heard quite some times of breaking out of containers and chroots and fucking up cgroups and namespaces.

What I have never heard of yet is breaking out of user isolation (two separate user accounts on the same installation), it seems like its impossible to access user A files as user B if permissions have been set properly.

I want to know which one is the most secure ie least likely to have bugs and most likely to protect applications from reading files it has no permissions to read.

Multiplayer survival game Rust is offering refunds for Linux users

They're going to stop shipping the linux client as well. [Here is a good writeup about it](https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2019/08/17/rust-will-offer-refunds-as-they-stop-shipping-linux-client/) but they've pretty much said none of the developers used linux outside of developing the game client, Unity doesn't support building the anticheating software for linux, but does for Windows and OSX, etc. They knew they'd lose more money than they made off linux, but it sounds like it's become way too much of a hassle for them and they're at a crossroads.

They also gave the number of users who have played in the last 30 days by OS:

Windows 227,842
MacOS 2,414
Linux 217

But, they've gone even further and made the statement "Don't make Linux versions of any future games because we can't/won't properly support it"

A redshift noscript I wrote

I recently installed redshift (a program that changes screen color temperature). I wanted to create a custom noscript to use it.

\[Here\]([https://github.com/BigB00st/Dotfiles/blob/master/.noscripts/redshift/redshift-enable.sh](https://github.com/BigB00st/Dotfiles/blob/master/.noscripts/redshift/redshift-enable.sh)) it is.

I thought that some of you might find it useful. Feedback is appreciated.
