@artagnon If you think it's bad, you should see the GNU article and the other related articles with knowledge of the facts. -

@meeper @SuperDicq Yes, that would render it proprietary. -

@SuperDicq But you should be able to name an example if it's ever been used to execute free software. -

@SuperDicq So what free software do people execute with Deno? -

@SuperDicq @fiore As those are mere suggestions, it isn't a CoC.
I don't have a problem with mere suggestions that don't try to restrict freedom. -

@SuperDicq @fiore I do under other name, as I don't want feds kicking down my door at 4am. -

@fiore @SuperDicq The freedom I experience is indeed awe inducing.
I should be studied by sciences as a research project to see how to best increase freedom. -

@SuperDicq @fiore If there's a CoC's, I'm not going to join the project - I have decided not to work on several projects for that reason, thus that's all the evidence I need.
What else changed that would induce significant increases in interpersonal challenges? -

@SuperDicq Deno is proprietary software, as in practice it is used purely for the execution of proprietary software (other engines are used to execute the limited amount of free JavaScript).
As you can see in the linked page, mpv and VLC are now slopware, that contain random code copy-pasted into them via LLM's.
If a project contains code with the license stripped off, it is proprietary software. -

@sally @lispi314 I would advise generally putting the mounted directory out of the way in its own folder, so it getting stuck doesn't impact you browsing home - then you won't having any problems killing sshfs and remount.
I don't really understand why they don't add a timeout of like 20 seconds and reinstate the ssh tunnel if it doesn't reconnect by then. -

@SuperDicq You can also install sponsorblock for mpv.
Too bad recent versions of mpv and also VLC are proprietary software; https://codeberg.org/small-hack/open-slopware -

@SuperDicq Don't do that, as that'll also install yt-dlp-ejs and deno and start executing proprietary malware on your computer on playing a video from youtube.
Instead you need a custom build of yt-dlp-ejs that allows you to install it without installing deno and also have the other JS libraries not installed either (it'll be better not to have yt-dlp-ejs not installed at all). -

@alisynthesis Cash is much better than credit cards, the issue is that cash has the government's slimy hands all over it.
Maybe a replacement physical currency is needed, but the only option for that would be precious metals, which has problems with fakes and also making payment for non-round amounts. -

@SuperDicq @fiore It does in fact make a single useful point; `
a recent study in a Springer volume on open source noted, “there is little to no empirical
evidence” that codes of conduct attract newcomers to projects, and “there is evidence that
the CoC’s presence has no bearing on a newcomer’s joining of a new project compared with
other factors” (Codes of Conduct in OS, 2024). This finding directly challenges the primary
justification offered for CoC adoption, namely that they make projects more inclusive and
welcoming.
The GitHub Open Source Survey of 2017 (n=5,495) and its 2024 follow-up (n=8,452) pro-
vide longitudinal data. Between 2017 and 2024, a period during which CoC adoption accel-
erated dramatically, contributors reported a significant increase in interpersonal challenges,
including threats of violence, impersonation, sustained harassment, stalking, and doxxing.
The behavioral impact shifted: experiencing rudeness, stalking, and name-calling became
more strongly associated with stopping contributions, adopting pseudonyms, and avoiding
communities. Despite (or perhaps because of) mass CoC adoption, the problems CoCs were
supposed to solve worsened.
Li et al. (2021) analyzed 3,824 GitHub issues related to codes of conduct and found that
“oftentimes, the initial addition of a code of conduct does not involve much community par-
ticipation and input”, confirming the intolerant minority mechanism described in Section 3.
The study also documented cases where CoCs were used both proactively (setting norms)
and reactively (governing disputes), with the latter category generating significantly more
community conflict`
This is pretty good evidence that CoC's are tools of proprietary sabotage (who would have thought) and real free software projects don't use proprietary conflict-inducing schemes. -

How could this be predicted? -

@mint The GPLv3 is quite clear; "All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term." - the GPLv3 just needs to be enforced.
systemd used to be released under the LGPLv2.1-or-later, but it now of course infringes its own license. -
