We are not talking about power or decision making, we are talking about expression. I think any organism should be able to express their needs and voice their concern. That's of course not the same thing as deciding.

The law supposedly protects the people's interest. Ideally. Unfortunately we don't live in an ideal world and I agree with you that in practice, law enforcement isn't always a net positive.

That's not what I'm saying! :-) Unfortunately, I don't have much of this. I wish I could! Happy you wrote this so I could clarify this point.

Come on, we don't need to race to the bottom :-) (Note, I'm not vouching for the comment you replied to - EU is not even close/comparable to what peak USSR was)

That doesn't work very well. If you have a concern you need to voice, you can't rely on waiting for being consulted. I'm really not interested in a system where you are not allowed to speak up. Police is supposedly for protec

Devil's advocate, but why not? I don't like Chat Control and I believe privacy should be guaranteed, but Europol seems quite relevant in this matter.

That's quite the uncharitable view. They explicitly put a humble disclaimer that they don't actually understand Latin. What you see as "belief that the world needs to hear their thoughts" might be "willingness to sh

I see this not as gatekeeping truth, but as an invitation to decide not to help spreading misinformation by working for entities doing it.

I found that particular aspect cringe too, I wouldn't trust ChatGPT to be good at translating to Latin and wouldn't expect it to work remotely well for this. I also wish people refrained from using LLMs at all. But apart from this

As long as you can reach the buttons by yourself and don't need to ask big tech's permission, I fully agree that having safeguards for potentially dangerous buttons is a good thing.

You don't get it, it's for your own good! The greater good! :-) (sarcasm, obviously)

This crossed my mind for sure :-) Valid but only partial since it only describes one value.

I didn't take "protect" the same way as you at all. Big tech is putting inside our heads that users shall be protected by removing control from them and that's detrimental. This gatekeeping is not protection, it's d

I suppose the Latin phrasing needs to be double-checked, but it's nice to have what we ought to aim expressed to concisely (even in English). I guess the Latin makes it sound more serious and authoritative (but also more cryptic, so it

Sorry, but this yes-answered AI slop subtly makes no sense, it just reads comfortable to you. You should not delegate writing your opinion to the llm and even less use it to shape your opinion, this is my main takeaway from your screenshot.

True, but that's still a risk that adds to the risk of the authors switching the license. BTW, if the jerk list is tied to the license, if the project had external contributors, they all need to agree to add or remove someone from the

This point of view is new to me to be honest. Let's say I don't care about the intent of people choosing the AGPL (I do, I wish people did stuff for altruistic reasons, but the economical system in which we live makes it so we can

Yeah, and even if you like the idea, this is not dependable. How do you know, as a user, that you'll not end up in the jerk list tomorrow?

Sorry, but I won't cry for corps big enough to have legal departments because they elected not to benefit from my software. They have too much power for me to worry about looking to accommodate them and their fantasy. I don't mind

People saying wrong things about the AGPL isn't an AGPL problem, it's an issue of people saying wrong things. AGPL allows competition. Any free software license does. It's rule 0 of free software. > it's chosen to to

Free software ought to not be discriminatory and arbitrarily exclude users. Full stop. Anyone means anyone . Now, we can agree and talk about unfortunate consequences and possible mitigations. The AGPL is one possible mitigation: Big corps

Skimming your links, it seems you target the AGPL, but you take issue with CLAs. You should be vocal against CLAs, not the AGPL. CLAs with any license is a risk of seeing the code closed up.

It's always sad when someone removes their project from the free software world. I'd like to comment further on the permissive license point: > When I started building Bear I made the code available under an MIT license. I didn

It is definitely possible, and it's possible to copy paste each blog post in a manually-maintained RSS. But one will need to convince me that it's less annoying than having to use some sort of blog engine, static or otherwise. You

Plain HTML isn't very workable for a blog. You'd have to maintain: - RSS/Atom - the post list - next / previous links by hand (and remember to fix the link tests if you change some post title) And if you want to change t

Integration test are a compromise. e2e tests may be quite expensive to run (for a web application, you might need to run your backend and a web browser, possibly in a docker container - and the whole thing will also run slower). Efficiency

Why do they need to use an old Brtfs fork? What is missing in the mainline kernel for them?
