Classic case of coop the resistance by introducing completely different talking points.
FOSS is not left or right, it’s FOSS. Those trying to change it to something else is trying to coop it.
There is no controversy. The blue vs red lens does not make sense in this context.
Abraham Lincoln, at some point, also said one option was to send slaves back to Africa.
Only bringing this up cuz Abraham Lincoln is depicted as a hero, due to the north writing the history books.

Would have preferred if out of their mouths came word salads. Actually refreshing
We are all on federated lemmy and have moved off State owned or sponsored corporate social media.
Whether you lean left right or something else, everyone needs communication and financial privacy. Otherwise the State will crush you. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but on a long enough time line, it’s inevitable, YOU WILL BE CRUSHED.
The State and MSM lost the narrative. And we will not regress
Article? … there is an article?
Read the title, skipped MSM / one-way media article, came straight to the comment section
login walls, pay walls, spun prose, AI generated noise … no way. That era is over. Let it die. Have a funeral for it, put a stake in it, and a heavy slab over the gravesite.
Make sure that monster stays dead and buried.
This read like a movie review. I love movie reviews.
Don’t watch this movie! Died by the second half. My neighbors called SWAT on me cuz the movie script was that bad, the actors completely unlikable, and the direction almost nonexistent. The CGI was not bad if it was 1990s. There was almost no humorous scenes. Just wet paint dripping dialogue by actors that couldn’t fake an emotion or facial expression to save their life.
Every time a critic dies a little on the inside
Can’t get enough. The opener is always fresh and hilarious
Watching people infinite scroll is also like watching monkeys tossing proverbial dung in a zoo.
(btw i had to infinite scroll to read this threads comments until found this gem and replied. I’m prepared to evade monkeys with impure intentions and plenty of ammunition.)
Same goes for file managers. You telling me to search for content using one or two search factors? LOL!
People get a real search algo!
lets burn down our civilizations by spending all our wealth discussing this
The issue is based on legal terminology. Gender isn’t a legal thing only pushed into our vocabulary.
Allocate an unbound memory blob and sit back for the herd of the Rust coders to line up. Sell them a soda while they do their best chicken parody
pip-requirements-parser
strictyaml
pip-tools
These are all abandoned important Python packages
Is funding for a maintainer even an option?
An experienced developer could easily step in. The hold back is getting compensated for the effort rather than being forced to turn tricks on the local street corner (aka work a job).
This is why devs are walking away.
Companies offering jobs to maintainers rather than directing funding at them is nonsense. Gov’ts and companies will wake up as cracks start snowballing in their tech stack.
Throwing out FUD.
The stars reflect the marketing effort put in. Has no correlation to the software quality or whether it’s critical or not.
Initially, the stats will reflect amount of marketing effort put into the project.
The marketing will attract both users and a flow of issues and PRs.
I’ve done zero marketing for my packages. And it shows ;-)
That’s unfair. Throwing out FUD doesn’t make it true.
Why be in a rush to judge? Might wanna watch some projects which have used this tactic.
Might be legitimate projects are willing to do whatever to attract eye balls.
Just for shiats and giggles, keep an open mind.
and they are all on mastodon
a fans motivation is normally to gain access to heroes rather than hide far far away from them on lemmy
when faced with people with that position/attitude/minset, i have a phrase for that, grandma gets a smartphone. These people really aren’t made to be using tech.
Have read thru the Fossil web site. Fossil and git are nothing alike. Fossil is not Github in a box. That’s misleading.
It’s ok to place the key/value pairs merkle tree into an sqllite database AND NOT change the philosophy away from what we are used to with git.
Fossil makes me more sold on git. I want the PRs, i want to be able to rebase. I want to be able to fork projects away from it’s parent.
Fossil needs to rewrite if it wants to attract git users. My main thing is portability of PRs and Issues. So when fork a project, the PRs and Issues are also forked. When the original author disappears would be nice to not have to rename the repo, while losing the PRs and Issues.
I read all 3.
The critic has been tricked. He is naive nice person. And therein lies the rub. He is dwelling on rebutalling the bullshit not realizing it’s purpose is to distract away from real issues.
He’s argued twice based on nostalgia rather than on legal merits.
People may have legitimate reasons to want different terms in an open source license. The critic rejects this.
If the critic has nothing to add to the conversation, he should go pound sand. The adults are capable of ripping systems apart and understand how to pieces fit back together and can customizing them without deviating from FOSS and OSD philosophy.
Go with aGPLv3. FUTOs nonsense nonpoints don’t help in the least.
Real issues like pay only in Monero to the maintainer without any KYC. Not in encumbered methods requiring our time and risk of not being able to receive the funds. No NPOs. No middlemen that take cut.
Devs needs to unionize or form gangs. Society is currently telling us to get a job rather than maintain the packages world+dog relies upon. That’s malicious, suicidal, has real consequences, and thus should be our #1 political issue. And we have to change society’s focus by causing a rukcus, not submitting more resumes to create more web sites and smartphone apps or cloud services. Which is just purposefully pushing us towards a job creation program rather than a means to maintain world+dog’s tech base.
There should be a systematic way for companies to pay towards those maintaining their tech stack. Lacking this, the companies can just say they are confused on how to go about paying devs. I can see their POV. That infrastructure needs to exist.
None of these points, violate open source philosophy one bit.
None of these points require yet another license. It’s more about what direction tech community has to take moving forward.
When Python coders create documentation popular options: Sphinx and mkdocs. pandocs for converting a lone vanilla ReStructuredText file.
With Sphinx can create user manual and PDF!
Let me politely add a big warning, there is a learning curve
Any user level questions regarding Sphinx can send my way
that’s actually a really good argument for not using either.
Taking a step back discussing shells seems like a never ending hell loop.
Sometimes the only way to win is not to play the game.
Use python and stop being stuck in the distant past.
