copyleft-next VS multi-account-containers

And that's why I'm still hoping for Richard Fontana to finish his Copyleft-Next license someday. Depending on documents made by such a contrarian as the sole legal and ethical source of justification for copyleft is dangerous, to say the least.

Legal reforms are unlikely, but there have been some voluntary efforts.

Creative Commons used to have a "Founders' Copyright" [0] program that emulates the original U.S Copyright system. You enter a contract and delegate your copyright to CC, CC adds your work to a maintained list. After 14 years (or 28 years if renewed), CC releases the rights of your work for unrestricted uses. Tim O'Reilly was a prominent supporter, some O'Reilly books was published under this program. Unfortunately, this program is no longer active.

The Copyleft Next License also includes a Sunset Clause: It's a strong copyleft license, but 20 years after the initial publication of a work, the copyleft requirements no longer applies, it automatically degenerate to a MIT-style license. I like the idea - if nobody cares about a long obsolete version of a copylefted program, you may as well to maximize its remaining value by allowing unlimited uses. Perhaps not suitable for all programs, but has many suitable applications.

Unfortunately, a general license suitable for all works don't exist yet. But it should be easy to write one, for example...

Copyright (2021) J. Random. All rights reserved. A irrevocable License is granted hereby: 20 years after the initial publication of the work, you may reuse the work in accordance to the CC-0 license.

Before the License is effective, you may not use, distribute or modify the work without the explicit permission from the author.

It is an extension for Firefox, but one created by Mozilla. It's official in that sense, but it does seem a little strange it's not included by default.

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/multi-account-conta...

the opposite is true, too, since "Clear History" in Chrome Profiles behaves correctly and (AFAIK) is scoped just to that Profile unlike our container friend: https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers/issues/3...

I still use them because combined with https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-url-in-c... ( https://github.com/honsiorovskyi/open-url-in-container ) is a game changer for my workflow but it does make me sad that issue has been open for so long

I have about 35 tabs open, some are work tabs, some are personal tabs and others are social tabs. About 1 week ago I started having the problem that while I have the Open Containers completely draining, my CPU is at 100%. While when I close them all my CPU returns to its normal state of use 20% I see that the problem is existing. https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers/issues/572 any help? I have the latest version of Firefox on Windows 10

I've been googling around for a way to recover them and it seems like this is just... a thing hat happens? And it has for years? This is intentional? What the hell?

Firefox Containers - Only if you need to use two accounts from the same website at the same time. You can change groups names and colors. When you need to open another account simultaneously just right-click the tab -> open in new conteiner -> choose one and voilá. It took me time to understand how exactly this worked but I use a lot now. Ohh and never ever never set "Aways open this tab/site in this container" this got me nuts these days. Is hard to revert if you don't really need a certain website aways on a certain container.

Can I start Firefox from the (linux mint) terminal opening a website in a particular container (using the Multi-Account Containers extension. see https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers or https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/)

Notice that not all functionality is available in brand accounts, e.g., upload your own music to YTM. There might also be some lost functionality when using the brand account at YT, but I don't know them anymore. You should also be aware that it is not easy to switch between different google accounts on PC because they use the same cookie to remember your current account. You can use a different browser for one of YT or YTM, or use add-ons like Firefox Multi-Account Containers. The different apps on android have no problem with this.
