2026-11-02 Searching for a short code of conduct
================================================

I am looking for a short code of conduct. I really want it to be short
because I don't believe in enumerating the things that are forbidden
by it as this just invites people to play games.

I guess this post is related to the problem of solving ethical
problems using licenses. Or the impossibility thereof. See 2020-05-09
Ethics and licensing.

For a while I felt that I might pick a few articles from the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights. But then, that's more like the bare
minimum.

The contributor covenant is pretty long. Perhaps it's better to be
long, though? I like the folk pledge. It's long, too.

As far as community goes, I like Computing As Social Activity (CASA).

As far as software projects go, I like Strudel's post-AI humane policy
.

I wonder what to do. Perhaps this struggle is part of the work. I just
need to do it.

is in turn based on the Citizens Code of Conduct.
