What’s the pattern you’re seeing? All I’ve noticed is maybe dark side of fedi is more critical of everyone across the board, and mastodon types tend to favor one side or the other in a more mainstream way

Just wait until the Funnyverse realizes you can train llama2 to find plausible justifications to be outraged by everything that gets posted by anyone, and proceeds to generate a tsunami of reports using a few dozen fake accounts on every major instance...

It's frustrating to see people treat software differently as any physical tool you'd have, it's literally the same but digital, and digital doesn't validate having DRM or censorship, you can have generic legal laws like "don't harass/murder" which is enough to cover any tools in general.

It's again the same bullshit with CoCs, laws already cover negative behaviour in general. No set of rules will ever stop anyone from infringing them and that's a good thing as there's always corner cases that can't be covered by laws.

And it's a good thing that there's no immediate godlike punishment the moment you do something out of the rules, like for example this week end I didn't stop at a stop sign because there was 100% chance that I wouldn't have endangered anybody including myself because there was nobody on the road outside of myself, but if you add omnipotent surveillance to that I would have gotten punished for an infraction that is of no consequence.

GNU project flag.

In 1983 Dr. Richard Matthew Stallman announced the start of this project.

What I like a lot about his idea, is the GPL license. You can apply it even to hardware, very versatile.

When I first read the GPL license, I felt in love with it. Inside it is written about the freedoms that the user gets (spoiler:they are four freedoms).

The GPL is not like the other licenses that are thought to take away the freedom and rights of the user; it is the opposite.

You can read the GPL V3 license in text format here:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.txt

Honestly you can just read the first two or three paragraphs of the preamble, and let me know if you like the free as in freedom of speech philosophy, I love it.

This is my first post, I'd like to share with you also the definition of hacker by rms:
"To be an hacker means to do things in a spirit of playfulness cleverness exploring the limits of what's possible. So you can be an hacker in all sort of different media, programming is just one of them."
Dr. Richard Matthew Stallman

If have never thought about the importance of software in our lives and the fact that software is either free or non free, there are no other options, there is a video I encourage you to watch it have been recorded at the TEDx in Geneva in 2014.

It has subtitles in various languages it is a short, informative and very clear video, everyone gets what we are defending after watching it.

FSF is the Free Software Foundation, the only one that truly care about the freedom of software users, don't fall for imitations, FSF is the one to support and follow.

Did opensource came into your mind? That is the works of corporations, opensource is not free software, you can read why in this article:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.en.html

I will use this account to talks about freedom as in freedom of speech a lot probably, hope you won't mind.

I'm already becoming familiar with this sort of thing. what sort of culture will we become when endless novelty becomes ordinary?

@ai @cinerion @hidden Perhaps the most pervasive cognitohazard that I can identify though is the belief that the paper pusher can file away and categorize absolutely every mystery of the universe, to dissect it and break it down into tractable component parts that he already understands.
This is the philosophical undercurrent of much of westoid human behavior, which pretends that the lattice through which the world is viewed is both infinitely vast, and its slats infinitely narrow, that nothing is obscured by the boundaries of its many subset boxes. Instead it is pretended that those things which are hidden by the lattice itself simply do not exist, or that a more refined lattice need only to be conceived of and then the picture will become clearer.
This is inhuman tyranny.

🚨 ARTHROPOD OF THE DAY 🚨

The family Phylliidae (often misspelled Phyllidae) contains the extant true leaf insects or walking leaves, which include some of the most remarkably camouflaged leaf mimics (mimesis) in the entire animal kingdom. They occur from South Asia through Southeast Asia to Australia.

Leaf mimicry often is elaborate among the leaf insects, with the insects’ wings and legs closely imitating leaf colour and form. Female elytra typically resemble, in their vein pattern, the midrib and veins in a leaf. Some species are even adorned with markings that resemble spots of disease or damage, including holes. Nymphs may sway side to side, as though mimicking the movement of a leaf in the wind. Leaf mimicry is thought to play an important role in defense against predators. Some species possess rows of tubercles on their antennae that when rubbed together produce sounds that may also serve to ward off predators.
