@nuddlegg Finally, it may also be worth discussing the benefits of restricting knowledge and considering that any published work is, by definition, public so refraining from its uses or diffusion may be pointless ultimately. Basically, #noai versus #copyleft.

Curious to read your thoughts about this.

OK! I was finally able to ask Yanis Varoufakis if he knows copyleft and the free software movement are behind him and if he'll work more with the EFF to push for public ownership of "the cloud".

I really want him to see and use the power of copyleft in his strategies with DiEM25 and the Progressive International. Neither group is much in the #Fediverse yet, I've noticed. But the political infrastructure exists!

@juliewebgirl I've had the privilege of telling Bono to go Fook Hisself vis-a-vis Making TelCos log All traffic (trillions in disk, NSA's job, not mine) to stop torrents to protect a few million of his "intellectual property".

Nah, says I. *Literally spit*

Bono is a little copyright bitch.

PTSD that.

@slashdot The three knights of the apocalypse.

#SteveBallmer was one of the worst things that happened to the software industry.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Ba

"He maintained that his comments in 2001 were right at the time but that times have changed."

Not thanks to him. And #Microsoft does not use #Copyleft licenses in their works, like most corporations, including #Google.

Had it not been a monopoly, Microsoft would have disappeared.

🗨️ Meu ID no GNU #Jami, o comunicador livre e distribuído (P2P), ou seja, que não depende de servidores intermediando as comunicações, é simplesmente daltux. Aliás, isso não é muito mais fácil que números telefônicos?

💡 Não dependa de mais ninguém além de quem quer conversar com você por texto, voz e vídeo, individualmente ou em grupo: para instalar Jami nas diversas plataformas para as quais está disponível, confira https://jami.net 📱💻🖥️📺

Já o tinha colocado em tornozeleiras eletrônicas de bolso (📴), mas, enfim, o instalei direito também no 💻:gnu: #GNU/Linux. ⚠️ Deixo a dica: evitar pegar o Flatpak do Flathub por não ser mantido pelo próprio projeto e estar defasado. Há repositórios próprios de pacotes binários para várias distribuições, seguindo a documentação. O Snap também é oficial. Nesses casos, sim, funciona melhor. 🤙

The first Apple Watch was introduced 1995.
It's #contemporary #design is standing out after 30 years, still. While it was deeply integrated into #MacOS System 7.5, it's not one of their digital #gadgets. This #anniversary seems to be perfect to revisit and redraw some shacky lines and seconds in corporate #history of #AppleComputers.

#Apple lost me as #proUser when they rejected my third warranty case in a row.
To rebuild the #AppleWatch from scratch in #vectorgraphics I prefer #Inkscape #SVG #copyleft on #Linux #FOSS over #Adobe #Illustrator #Ai #IP #copyright #software.

Go get the best #vector #designer #app

and you can draw freely #retrocomputer #illustrations like we do.

You all have the right to write #FreeSoftware, and you write whatever you want.

And when you look at what software other people are writing, keep it in mind, that they have the right to write whatever software they feel like.

They even have all rights to license it under #MIT or #BSD licenses, because everyone has the right to make objectively wrong decisions, too 😂

@burnoutqueen the problem is that #enforcing #copyleft doesn't get you a single line of code improvements.

In an ideal world it would, but we all know that's not the case.

  • Consider #BSD-licensed alternatives a competiton, which is more likely to get contributions back (again, Rob Landley can most likely attest to that) from corporations and see it as a motivation for copyleft-licensed projects to step up their game!

I want every program that’s required to participate productively in society to be #FreeSoftware

Because Free Software allows me to avoid direct remote control of what I can do. And it enables me to help others with my #programming skills.

That’s why I think we need #copyleft. Ideally the #AGPL, because only that keeps webservices free. And those are programs, too.

(a discussion got me thinking why I contribute to FLOSS projects; besides wanting to share what I create, this is the reason)
