My hard line is open source. I don’t use any proprietary solutions.

fully with you on that point

I feel it kinda depends on the tool, for Linux distro related I personally want GPLv2.0 as it’s more likely to be supported longterm and might potentially be integrated into the Linux kernel due to license compatibility.

For tools that are new or have niche uses I prefer either Apache2.0 or MIT.

also just had a random thought:
does variety(differing license types) matter when it comes to the kind of thing someone is trying to create?

• like is there a theoretical optimal license for certain things?
• could a one-size-fits-all license possibly exist?

The conclusion of the study was basically that the biggest players should enter the fediverse in order to use their capabilities to scan and police it.

Not sure if that would work as users are fleeing from those big players as they don’t prioritize the safety and needs of their users.

The contradictory problem is that current major corporations prioritize money at all costs even at the expense of their users so their customer base flee to the next best service/product provider.

People are currently abandoning Reddit and Twitter because their moderation system either doesn’t work or has underlying contradictions to what users are asking for.

Facebook launched Threads and people only joined initially due to FOMO. With how transparent they are in harvesting user data at the expense of people’s privacy I think (and hope) that people are starting to realize that this is probably not in their best interests.

I think what we’re seeing is evolutionary filtration of the web similar to natural ecosystems where the species with the highest ability to adapt that survives.

Based off of one metric it seems that companies structured around proprietary software (zero-sum systems) are unsustainable. This is my untested observation however so this could be true currently but systemically wrong once examined and tested.

So the idea that

biggest players should enter the fediverse in order to use their capabilities to scan and police it.

doesn’t seem to make the most logical sense as the foundation for those companies is untrustworthy and unsustainable.

Personnally I’m a fan of Freesans as it’s a sans-serif font under GPLv3.0+

tbh I also think that’s a problem I have with Freesans

When I can afford it I’ll probably hire someone to remake the 0 with a diagonal slash in the center and make the capital O a perfect circle just scaled up

Maybe you misheard LXQT?

just found their GLSL and HLSL files while going through their Github repo

Edit:
I like your funny words magic man
AMD’s FFX Blur 1.0 documentation
this is unfortunately over my head, hopefully this’ll be useful to anyone else here

A suggestion for moderation is to perhaps suspend or ban anyone that displays zero-sum behavior

I’m gonna assume that most are collaborative and reciprocal however it might still be best to deter people that might toxify the community

for my vote I’d say that defederating any non-FOSS instance, chat service, community is the way to go.

To endorse or collaborate with any zero-sum systems seems like a terrible decision for fediverse projects/instances to take

Current me might think “I’m a genius!” when making this comment.

Future me might think “holy fuck why and how was I so cringey at that point in my life😬”
