@Raspberry_Pi eventually the people paying you are going to figure out that you're not focused on the company's goals.

@Raspberry_Pi @TobyRobertsPi I think it's fine that you hired a former officer who worked on surveillance.What's not fine is the unprofessional way you're handling the criticism. Telling people they can unfollow you, and saying that you think the criticism is an organized effort is not a good public face for any company.What about acknowledging that the post landed poorly, that you understand the public distaste for police surveillance, and committing to do better?

@hn500 I was expecting it to say "engaging with people" or something like that. When I got my first real job I was sure I was hot stuff, but my first performance review my boss said, "you don't even look at people when they visit your office". I'm neurotypical, I just hadn't been taught that business is almost entirely about people and hard skills are an undifferentiating job requirement.

@osi instead of extrapolating that progress, first realize that progress is neither linear nor exponential, but instead usually follows a logistic curve, then extrapolate.

@osi from the context in the interview, "let's just take the naive attempt <to extrapolate>." It's interesting to imagine, but the naive approach is naive. "progress is going to slow down, for some reason" is the story of every innovation in history so far.The inflection point could be further away than it looks (that is, not already in the past) and I'll grant it's important to consider that.

@internetarchive I hope that, in addition to appealing, you're coming up with a plan to do something more clearly legal in the future. As much as I like IA's mission, the conclusions of this court seem pretty sound to me.

@mjg59 eh... I'm gonna cheer for them. Their API assertion is what made it clear they weren't. And their Linux division doesn't have to pay for the sins of Java Legal.Also, let's not cheer for a company that found a new workaround to the further restrictions clause. Or let's, but ironically. Yay, they found it.

@neil the CLA change is a strong indicator that Element is on the same downward slope we've seen other for-profit open source companies fail onto.The important question now is if downstream consumers can rally a fork. And maybe if they should do that from the Apache 2.0 codebase now rather than wait and base it on the final AGPLv3 version.AGPLv3 is great, but many organizations can't afford to figure out how to do it right. Combine it with a CLA and it can't preserve freedom.
