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.

Oh i love you!

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

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.

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.

There is efforts to make the issues and PRs forkable as well. There is some folks jumping ship. Haven’t researched the new platforms like codeberg

Codeberg is based in Germany hmmm

gitea docs

Can you post a link.

Not familar with it, but will read it if you point me in the right direction

Listen here Stallman, pedo associate Gates is my hero!

Thank you github for not banning me … hopefully not maybe … yet

That big bold Thank you didn’t hurt one bit

Try it on for a change!

Going to come out swinging for MSFT

github provides it’s runners generously for free!

They have not banned me, which is a charm point

Gitlab, on the other hand! Going to whine about that forever

Gitlab deletes your account suddenly without recourse or offers a means to communicate with them to resolve issues civilly.

Oh shiat! You read it?? LOL

Oh man i had to wipe away some tears

Now i need to wash my face

MSFT please send all that love and support by all the bitcoin you are not buying

thank you

– package maintainers

take it that nondisclosure agreement means you have nothing that needs copyright recognition

it's free as in go pound sand if you aren't going to fund maintainers

it doesn’t force them to do anything until devs refuse to work for any company that doesn’t.

i’m with you on agplv3+. The copyright recognition document comes before the resume.

With a little bit more flexibility coulda turned out quite differently

The question isn’t whether would enjoy it, it’s whether or not would solve the issue.

Of course, he’d enjoy flamethrowing the PC. So would everyone including you and me and the next guy and his dog if he could work the trigger with his tongue.

Think about it, if had to fix it with tongue, the flamethrower would be the lesser of two evils

Be thankful aren’t an animal lacking opposable thumbs and flexible enough with an insatiable urge to lick own butthole
