I would suggest actually naming the license under which it is released if you’re talking about the website that is generated by your software. If you’re talking about the content of a website describing your project, like a landing page or something like that, I’d either attribute copyright to who wrote the content, or release it under a Creative Commons license such as CC-BY-NC.
It’s always a matter of degrees. The bigger the injustice, the more violence is justified to rectify it. It is in the disproportionality, in my view, where the problem arises.
Never forget that humans are just barely evolved apes. Sometimes a swift knock to the head is required to activate those neural pathways to discourage anti-social behavior. Not always, but also not never. Claiming otherwise is just self-aggrandizing moralization that people use to make themselves sound and feel superior.
The software landscape for XMPP isn’t the best. I twisted the arms of my immediate family and have them using XMPP messaging with a Snikket server I set up, and we’ve had lots of issues between OMEMO support and the lack of good messaging clients for iOS. It works, but it isn’t the smooth-out-of-the-box experience that non-techies want/need.
Not providing builds seems to be a good incentive. I’ve seen some projects that charge for the installation/compiled software with the source freely available. Lots of software is a gigantic pain in the ass to build without the proper configuration and pipeline set up.
lol is this a real thing? does hexbear own pronouns? maybe i’m too old to understand the fediverse culture. grandpa simpson was right.
Windows can run all games
Tell that to some of the games I want to play. Splinter Cell - Blacklist, I’m looking at you.
I have never, not once, heard a good thing about mastodon.art. Are they allowed to have any fun over there? Seems like it’s a server purely dedicated to being superior to everyone else and sniffing their own farts.
It was corrupted in much the same way the stock market was corrupted. That whole thing is mostly speculative gambling now, when it was supposed to about profit sharing with companies that were either sound investments currently with steady profits or up-and-coming companies that had potential. Now it’s just casino gambling betting on prices that are completely divorced from reality that expects infinite growth of made up value.
It wasn’t altruistic per se, but that doesn’t make it nefarious, either. At it’s core, it was just a network connectivity design that resists node failure. It was us that used that foundation to create a virtual space that everyone could participate in. We now have outsized bad actors like Google and Microsoft and Amazon and alphabet agencies that are trying to influence that virtual space, but its culture was built by us.
From all the war stories you see online, they don’t have that much to lose.
Don’t know. As long as it is open source, I’m not sure it would matter. Eventually one would win out with the community.
It would have to be a defined standard. I imagine it not so much as a script that runs, but rather a description of fields and weights. I guess there might be some computation involved, but I think a standard could be devised that there would minimize the security risk.
Which would make it important that the default would be something with no tweaks, like a chronological list. But I would be all for a scripting setup or some other configurable sorting engine to play with on a per-account basis. Maybe you could even subscribe to other’s sorting configuration.
They could tweak their images regardless. Security through obscurity is never a good solution.
I can understand the reporting requirement.
Not a bad idea, but I was working on a project once that would support user uploaded images and looked into PhotoDNA, but it was an incredible pain in the ass to get access to. I’m surprised that someone hasn’t realized that this should just be free and available. Kind of gross that it is put behind an application/paywall, imo. They’re just hashes and a library to generate the hashes. Why shouldn’t that just be open source and available through the NCMEC?
Doesn’t seem like he was implying anything. Just stating the fact that part of the burden of citizenship is sometimes having to interact with law enforcement, maybe even go to trial, even if you’ve done nothing wrong.
I’m no closer to understanding how the original meme is so out of date.
It wouldn’t be FOSS because a landing page with nothing but content isn’t software. I’m referring to the site at blender.org vs the source code for an application at a git repository.
