Yeah, the timing of the article makes it clear what the motive is. It’s to distract discussion away from the article about Stallman.

Up to you. Two people can make mistakes at the same time. Whether there is truth to the claims, I’m not sure, but if there is truth then there are some unpleasant details in it.

TL;DR:

From today the license applied to the project will be the Apache 2.0 license with an extra line forbidding usage of the codebase as an integration or app to Atlassian’s Confluence or Jira products.

While it’s disappointing to see the additional restriction, it’s better to have a project the devs find sustainable than to have nothing at all. It seems like the goal of this change is to protect their main source of funding.

Worst case, people can fork the code before the change.

Some thoughts on the comments on Discord:

I can understand most of the arguments against Discord, and there are some problematic communies on it of course, but I’m not sure I understand how using Discord over an alternative puts someone more at risk of exposure to those communities. People are free to join and leave servers at will, so is the issue that these servers built around FOSS projects have toxic communities? If so, how would being on any other platform solve this?

Speaking from experience, just about all the servers I’m in have some kind of “no politics” rule, a very inclusive “be nice” rule, and a pronoun selector. Maybe it’s just the servers I join, but hate speech gets people banned pretty quickly.

Anyway, there are plenty of arguments that can be made about discoverability, lack of control, privacy, and the non-FOSS nature of the platform to justify its presence on that list.

Not quite a “gaming PC” since, at least if they’re using something like Nvidia’s Hopper GPUs (or relying on another service that does), they’re not designed for gaming (and in the price range of $10k-$100kish), buuut if you ignore the finer details then fundamentally it’s basically like that. They’d send the image to their “very expensive gaming PC server” where the inferencing would be done.

I’d imagine doing this for a simple website project only for npm to tell me there are over 2000 packages installed. Donating even $1 to each of them would be unsustainable (as myself, for a company that’s another story). I think what we need is a more scalable way of supporting these projects. For example, should is_even get the same amount of support as zod?

Given Discord’s history with certain kinds of content being shared on it, it’s hard to fault them for doing this. But I agree, most FOSS enthusiasts are looking for something a little more private and in their control.

Wow, that is a uniquely idiotic problem caused by a dumb societal trend and perpetuated by a malicious company more interested in locking people into their products than innovating in an actually competitive manner. It’s sad that this is even an issue.

There are jobs that require iphones? Now that sounds like a nightmare (unless you’re developing apps for ios or something).

Odd, my google search just has a bunch of Lemmy/Mastodon results. Surely I’m doing something wrong, do I need to disable SafeSearch?

It’s only invalid if it generated errors.

I understand this line of thinking, but unless they specify what “flavor” of JSON they accept, I think it’s safe to assume they only accept what’s in spec. What I find weird is that they immediately contradict the spec with their example by writing JavaScript. Should the content-type then be application/javascript? They can easily document the parameters outside the request body instead of adding comments.

Also, yes, I know I’m being pedantic, but if I’m applying for a job, it’s a two way application. They need to give me reason to trust that they’re worth working for. Making up rules along the way when referencing a commonly known spec doesn’t give me much confidence.

Is it just me, or does their sample request use invalid JSON? The keys should be in quotes, comments aren’t in spec (but commonly supported), and trailing commas are invalid as well (but commonly supported).
