@simon Yes, and web.archive.org can take instant snapshots of links now, so if I'm worried, I link there instead.

@fooneI'd be devastated if I'd wedged the Python community unnecessarily.(Also, Hi! I've seen you around a lot and love your work but had no idea you're a Python person! Hi!)

@geordie they make _surplus_, which I am told by my accountant friends in the space is a legally significantly different thing

@jzb It completely missed the rise of SaaS, and spent too long focusing on the scourge of appliances (which, as it turns out are irrelevant if they're connecting to SaaSes)@fuzzychef @mcc @richardfontana

@mcc The AGPL wasn't RMS's work, that was primarily down to Bradley Kuhn; and it arguably remained a fork because RMS didn't think SaaSes were important@jzb @fuzzychef @richardfontana

because searching for "boycott" didn't find it when I searched, here's a link to the NAACP's Black Consumer Advisory: https://naacp.org/campaigns/black-consumer-advisory

I gave a talk at last month about the role of organising in Open Source. I have three obserpinions therefrom:1. Going all-in on permissive licensing was a mistake that directly led to extractive behaviour2. Copyleft not having a good answer to the actual concerns of people who chose permissive licensing was a mistake that directly led to people going all-in on permissive licensing3. It's too late to care about licensing, so we need other forms of consequences/ways to encourage organising

with that in mind, I will probably roll my eyes at you if you are advocating for a particular class of licence, except in the very narrow case of software that is absolutely necessary for a device to operate, in which case, copyleft is a good (if presently hobbled, pending SFC vs. Visio) proxy for disclosure of source code/right to repair

FURTHER POINTS:1. Invite me to give this talk somewhere else, it's good stuff, and it's much better in a 33-minute format than a toot on mastodon2. gosh it's amusing that early Django contribs are faving my original post, since I use Django as one of the litmus tests for how badly copyleft maximalists fucked up in the early '00s.

It's not that LLMs are bad, per se*, it's that most Product people are mediocre (true, by definition, of most people doing most things) and therefore cannot operate at the intersection of "things that an LLM can do well" and "things that deterministic computing cannot do well".This naturally results in "what if thing that computer can already do, but LLM?"https://fosstodon.org/@anuytstt/115009836366326911

* this "per se" is, of course, extremely load-bearing (copyrights, systemic biases, etc etc etc); I'm making a point about suitability for purpose, which we haven't even got to yet.
