Can't type much because I need to recover from RSI (again), so I'm just enjoying the end of the summer with my brother. Mostly playing card games and going outside. I've started watching a playthrough of Anonymous;Code to improve my Japanese, but without being able to use the keyboard I can't really look things up. Oh, and the osu!mania world cup ends next week, so that'll be fun to watch.
Props for actually answering the question, and with a reasonable language too. Although Forth hasn't clicked for me personally, and I doubt it's a better choice for OP, it's still a unique language design and worth studying.
Isn't this treating the symptoms, not the cause? The real problem here seems to be that militaries and bad actors are killing people they obviously shouldn't, but it feels like the article just accepts that as something that "downstream users" do.
I'm all for responsible software use, but I think the issue lies deeper than software licensing.
I can recommend Sourcehut, it's still free right now: sourcehut.org
You will need to learn how to use Git with email, but that isn't a bad skill to have anyway, so why not.
I don't see how rejecting 18th century-style factories or exploitative neural networks is a bad thing. We should have the option of saying "no" to the ideas of capitalists looking for a quick buck. There was an insightful blog post that I can't find right now...
I find this question a little weird, because open source software (which includes the Fediverse) was already a very political movement from the beginning.
As for organizing, since there is no main authority or philosophy beyond make software open, it's up to you and like-minded individuals to use the space as you seem fit.
That said, it is completely understandable that some users may feel uncomfortable using an account to access the service. For such cases we strongly recommend hosting your own deployment of Jitsi Meet. We spend a lot of effort to keep that a very simple process and this has always been the mode of use that gives people the highest degree of privacy.
Seems like you can avoid it by self-hosting. Still a very suspicious move, kinda defeats the whole point of an alternative to big tech conference services.
Google, GitHub and Facebook for starters but may modify the list later on
Maybe they could support some auth provider from some fediverse app? That would be kinda neat.
I doubt anybody is saying ‘screw global warming, I’ll be fine in a cpu.
You'd be surprised what the tech billionaires are saying right now. They are definitely not tackling the problems of today, but are creating new ones by the minute.
I wish you the best, and that you find a safe place where you can relax and collect your strength <3
