  1. The Character Arc and Drew DeVault

    In movies and books one dimensional, boring sort of characters, are those that never change throughout the story. Good stories contain character growth. A change in the character's world view. Think of Jake Sully in Avatar: He starts as a marine, ready to shoot and kill every living thing on Pandora. And end up being the leader of Pandoran resistance.

    On the internet people tend to think that other people are set in stone when it comes to their believes. That other people are one dimensional characters without character growth what so ever. If one is born with a flaw, or has a recorded history of a flaw, therefore, using the logic of the citizens of the internet, this flaw is unremovable, untouchable, and unchangeable truth representing this person's every second of existence. That is so silly. The world is full of character growth. The world is full of people learning new things. The world is full of people that change their mind.

  6. "To be specific, a clause which outright forbids the use of your code for training a machine learning model will make your software non-free, and I do not recommend this approach.

    Instead, I would update your licenses to clarify that incorporating the code into a machine learning model is considered a form of derived work, and that your license terms apply to the model and any works produced with that model."

  8. Un post en écho sous forme de synthèse temporaire, par @julienbidoret
    "De plus en plus souvent, de plus en plus fort – et il faut bien le dire, depuis pas mal de temps – résonnent autour de moi des questionnements sur « pourquoi l’#opensource a gagné et pourquoi il échoue ». Pourquoi il est insuffisant, incomplet, presque impuissant dans un objectif de transformation profonde des structures politiques de contrôle auxquelles il affirmait s’attaquer. Ici, récemment, un thread initié par @despens, là un autre de #CadeDiehm. Aujourd’hui, deux autres textes : The #FreeSoftwareFoundation is dying par #DrewDeVault et drones run linux: the free software movement isn’t enough de #JesOlson."
    Avec entre autres #cc4r et #post$cript dedans, donc @Femke et @Ludi au minimum

  9. Remind me again why developers are still hosting Free Code development on GritHub?

    "With GitHub, it takes the form of disregarding the terms of free software licenses. In the process, they built a tool which facilitates the large-scale laundering of free software into non-free software by their customers, who GitHub offers plausible deniability through an inscrutable algorithm."

  10. Drew DeVault bravely flees the land of the free for #Europe, obviously to avoid US innovation taxes. 🌍✈️ Meanwhile, his #SourceHut update reads like a patchwork quilt of #boredom that even a robot couldn't digest. 🤖💤

  11. "Now it’s . If you think these crawlers respect robots.txt then you are several assumptions of good faith removed from reality. These bots crawl everything they can find, robots.txt be damned, including expensive endpoints like git blame, every page of every git log, and every commit in every repo, and they do so using random User-Agents that overlap with end-users and come from tens of thousands of IP addresses..."

  12. En cherchant pourquoi le compte mastodon de Drew Devault (le créateur de sr.ht/) a disparu, je découvre sur #DrewDevault qu’il est l’auteur de stallman report et puis que quelqu’un a fait dmpwn.info/ en réponse. Pas très sain tout ça.

  13. Since Bridgy Fed doesn't bridge properly this is the link to the report which details how #DrewDeVault, the author of the #StallmanReport, has engaged in lolicon and pedo apologia, casting doubts on his true intentions in his attacks against RMS: dmpwn.info Drop #SourceHut now. #DeVaultReport

    This is so much worse than the #StallmanReport (which is confirmed to be #DrewDeVault behind it), jesus. I've already heard some terrible stuff in the relevant thread in HN, but this really hammers the nails in the coffin... ​:koishtare:​

    Shouldn't need to tell you what to do here. If you have an account in
    #SourceHut, I highly recommend considering whether it's worth staying (and continuing paying for!) in a platform run by a lolicon and pedophilia apologist

  15. @kasra_mp It's not a question of how long it took (though that's a strong indicator of Google's dedication to the task), but of what the result is:

    The total word count of the W3C specification catalogue is 114 million words at the time of writing. If you added the combined word counts of the C11, C++17, UEFI, USB 3.2, and POSIX specifications, all 8,754 published RFCs, and the combined word counts of everything on Wikipedia’s list of longest novels, you would be 12 million words short of the W3C specifications.2

    I conclude that it is impossible to build a new web browser. The complexity of the web is obscene. The creation of a new web browser would be comparable in effort to the Apollo program or the Manhattan project.

    It is impossible to:

    • Implement the web correctly
    • Implement the web securely
    • Implement the web at all

    Complexity is a principle tool of monopolisation.

  16. @wilfredh I was wondering if it was in response to drewdevault.com/2021/11/16/Cas, but #DrewDevault's article actually already links to it.

    Who the fuck knows how many people even really use tags on fedi :blobcat-joy:
