They’re FOSS competence porn

Exactly the kind of porn youngsters leading to become adults should read, IMO.

I was hoping here their answer was something like "feel free to contact our attorney, Cory Doctorow, and his legal team at the UN". Oh well, a free mind can wish.

I mean, it hopefully wasn't, it's a much lighter, simpler and more efficient protocol and seems to stand as a perfect middle ground between IRC and nu-protocols.

I think you meant XMPP?

Servers & clients use too many resources.

Didn't XMPP solve that in, like, 1999?

(Really, what is with devs and nu-protocols these days? Back in my days you could run a webhost on a potato)

I'm probably way out of the loop but from the perspective of devs getting to contribute, don't stuff like Discourse ship with "login with your Github account" already? Or Google, or Facebook, or...

Also, please, it's 1 click nowadays to make your browser remember your logins for you, if it comes down to laziness

I get that people want a "simple way to chat" and Discord does that well, I guess. I mean, everyone's talking about the forum aspect but what's the alternative for chat? Mumble?

Just, please, don't hide documentation in the Discord. A neocities page costs literally $0. Please. Think of the poor SEO consultants!

Wow. You know you dun goofed it when the "online encyclopedia anyone can edit" makes it very clear that "but not to write about you".

I'm wondering if the authors could file DMCA claims against Etsy, for a start ("I used evil to destroy evil").

Beyond that, I feel the problem is mostly that these binding people do not get permission to transfer medium in the first place, and then make it worse by selling the printed copies? A fanfic author themself should be legally able to print and bind their own story on their own (they both hold the copyright and are costing the materials) or pay someone else to do it (they hold the copyright and they grant a one-use license to the binder).

It'd be interesting to officiate the OTW to see what do they think of this, since they have held quite some anti-author positions in the last few years such as the idea that other people can profit off people's fanfiction but the authors themselves can't even have an online tip jar.

starting next january

¿????? Thsi started like, 10 years ago!

Not without the machineguns.

I don’t want to die for a cause - I want to make the fascists die for theirs.

Honestly this is one of the best quotables I've found on the internet this year. Permission to steal?

Basically, Biden is forcing the nation’s left wing to pick between showing their disdain for genocide overseas and stopping fascism to at home. It’s not a fair choice and people are bitter about it.

People could just vote null.

"CEO golden parachute" insane? Or just "I can't believe it's past minimum wage!" "insane"?

Ever heard of a small indie company called Valve?

Eso eso.

El Festival tiene que decantarse por una de dos: ser un concurso de popularidad, o un concurso de calidad. No se puede ser las dos.

O sea, no es que haya cambiado mucho de noche en noche... xD

Not if you fork locally or outside Github.

Surprise! Yes, there's lots more Git outside Github. As one commenter said, Github is to Git what Pornhub is to porn.

Dunno. The most feasible one / one within reach? There must have been some Israeli there, it was literally their embassy.

Unless the move was more pre-planned, it would have to come to a split second decision I guess.

Since there's an infinite number of people to kill in either case I can just do nothing, and thus by inaction most of those infinite people will have more than enough time for someone else to rescue them. Maybe the State, that's what they're there for.
