@mur2501 I wouldnt link it no... I would copy it to our server and link to it on our own domain. This way they cant paywall it or cut off access (which they cant legally do once they open source it)

@mur2501 Ok then he cant paywall it.. as long as you keep the CC license attached to his work, AND you use the same license on any derrivative works then you are free to share it and legally bypass his paywall.. he is allowed to charge, but you are allowed to give away for free.

@Trilobyter Why does the apparent size change so drastically? Editing or some sort of lensing effect?

@cjd

> But if you say something and then by some legal mechanism the government attacks you, then you were not exercising your freedom of speech, that freedom does not actually exist.

Yea, no...

If i say "Here is 100$ go murder Bill".. it is absurd in my opinion to say that simply because that speech was necessary to initiate the events that being arrested for hiring a hitman is a violation of free speech.

No, the speech itself isnt illegal, the consequences (known) of that speech is. That doesn't eliminate free speech or make it less free.

@mur2501 You wont be able to directly copy content unless he has released it to the public domain or under an open source license...

However if he did either in the past, and LATER paywalled it you can still use the earlier version freely.

@cjd

Yes words do mean things, and here my words were choosen carefully.

The limitations on free speech are not direct.. you have the freedom to say the things you say.. but you also hold the risk of the effects.. It is the effects, and your intent around it, not the speech itself. But it effectively limits speech indirectly.

For example if i engage in slander/libel, but there is no actual harm that comes of it, my freedom of speech had no ill effects and i was legal allowed to say the slander/libel I said, since it is only illegal should there be harm caused.

However if harm caused you can be held guilty and sued. However it is not the speech itself that is illegal, but rather the consequences of that speech and knowing engaging to create those consequences.

So yes free speech there is legal, but the consequences are not. That is still freedom of speech, its just not freedom to cause intentional harm through deceit. One freedom ends where another begins.

@cjd

Virtually all freedoms have limitatiosn where it infringes on other freedoms..

You have the freedom to self determination. That doesnt mean you can self-determine you will be a murderer because that infringes on other peoples rights..

Rights with well defined limits are still rights, and still imply freedom. Freedom does not suggest there are no limits to that freedom.

@nealcurtis PRobably right around the time we became a consumer-oriented society... debt is how we show someone we love them :)

@mur2501 Please feel free to get your feet wet by submitting pull requests on the documentation itself.

As many of you know by now I've been working on the project the past few days.

One thing I dont like however is right now it locks you into Vercel as your deployment. However our dependence on it is rather minimal as we use it only to cover the serverless functions needed as well as some simple routing.

My fear is many may not be able to afford vercel or may not like them as an option. Does anyone know of a cheaper more FLOSS/privavcy oriented option that makes it easy to deploy typescript/java based serverless functions?

If I can find a good alternative I'd love to adapt the project to support Vercel alternatives.

Fedipage v1.1.0 Released Fedipage, the source that powers this static website with ActivityPub support, has just released v1.1.0! We have a few new...

@jeff

All of us, and yes both of us were involved assuming you exercized your right to be involved.

@deavmi @cjd @thatguyoverthere @georgetakei

Just a reminder, Gay means "happy".... I think this is a bit telling... I mean its almost like people recognize on some level gay people are happy when they are allowed to be themselves. So much so the word means the same thing :)

@LouisIngenthron Local news is the **last** thing you should watch to say "in touch" unless its non-profit... remember for-profit means hype is prioritized over facts cause hype sells.

@jeff

The people get to decide. And we have quite a few examples of free speech with legal consequences... libel, slander, calls to violence, etc.

@deavmi @cjd @thatguyoverthere @georgetakei

@deavmi

Yea I'd disagree, a completely unregulated market leads to a non-free market where a few large players can dominate the natural equilibrium of prices by engaging in price-fixing.

@jeff @cjd @thatguyoverthere @georgetakei

@mur2501 Aparapi is one of my most challenging projects to contribute to. but also very rewarding.

It is also relatively active with a few devs and with my main company getting funding it will likely funnel some resources into Aparapi. So its a great project to get involved in especially right now.
