Restrictions are not the same thing as obligations. Copyleft licenses are not more "restrictive" than permissive licenses, but they do have more obligations. Permissive licenses have obligations, too, such as the inclusion of a copyright notice.

Copyleft is not "restrictive"; it does not discriminate against any field of use, and if it did it would not qualify as free software nor as open source.

conduct expectations are commensurate with your reputation, power and influence. this is why code of conducts have wordings like maintainers are expected to role-model and enforce good conduct

or in other words: you built it, you lead it, you own it. the good parts, and very much also the bad parts

there's no "accidental" when your community goes brigading and harrassing, because it simply doesn't matter whether it happens with intent or due to lack of clue

There are plenty of conservatives who I respect and whose platform and voice I have no objection to per-se; even if I disagree with them I have no cause to call for them to be silenced.

However, it is also true that a lot of conservatives have tangled up their politics with the politics of hate. I will move to silence hate speech. But it's about the hate speech, not about being a conservative.

If conservatives who don't want to be excluded abandon the hate speech, hey presto, they won't be.

it's a reasonably well done op i think unfortunately. i wouldn't trust anyone involved in managing that community; someone there 100% knows what they're doing in terms of fostering a pipeline into radicalisation.

e.g. their emotes list is... curated, in a word. the vibe is sus; mostly chan-y memes. but missing your pepes and such. but then there's always a pepe react on their big announcements? the whole server seems curated towards plausible deniability.

A question that is of interest today is "should a code of conduct apply outside of its borders?" In other words, can a project hold someone accountable for their behavior outside of that project's spaces?

The short answer is "yes". The long answer is "we live in a society".

@drewdevault Yeah, totally agree. I thought I might as well codify this sentiment about the scope of a CoC in river's brand new CoC: https://codeberg.org/river/river/commit/14e941bae16b1ca478c32198c131c4297157f888

(Yes, I had been quite lazy about adding a CoC until being prodded into action this morning)

Someone responsible for enforcing the code of conduct in a project reaches out to you to discuss your behavior.

Do you (1) listen to them in earnest, ask questions if things are unclear, and take the opportunity for introspection and improvement, or (2) interpret everything they said as a threat, immediately escalate it into an argument, and characterize the email as a harassment campaign targeted against you and endorsed by the employer of the conduct enforcement person?

@drewdevault ① should be done and is the best scenario, at least I'd say it should be seen as learning the limits and politely acknowledging them, ② is off limits.
By the way I can easily see a scenario ③ where the person disagrees about it, even with being a bit rude, but doesn't creates further drama, like heat of the moment kind of thing, this is why ② to me is off limits.
(Plus a scenario ④ where the person says okay or even apologises but continues exactly as before)

On , we celebrate the culture of Europe's Roma community, comprising 10-12 million people across the EU and enlargement region.

Yet, many Roma face high levels of antigypsyism and discrimination. The EU's Roma Strategic Framework 2020-2030 aims to change this by:

🔹halving the poverty gap,
🔹 reducing housing shortages,
🔹integrating Roma children into education.

Together, let's build a fair and equal Europe for all.

@EU_Commission why not also enforce the existence of nomadic lifestyles in all the EU? It is literally illegal for Roma people to exist in the way they traditionally have within the EU itself. That needs to change.

Hm, bit of a long shot, but are there any physicists on here? I have a question: as the universe expands, light traveling through space is redshifted, which means it loses energy. Thermodynamics tells us that energy can't just disappear. Where does that energy go?

mort,
@mort@fosstodon.org avatar

@drewdevault I found this: https://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/GR/energy_gr.html

tl;dr whether energy is conserved in general relativity depends on what you mean by "energy" and what you mean by "conserved"

Also "Each photon gets redder and redder. What happens to this energy? [...] Those who harbor no qualms about pseudo-tensors will say that radiant energy becomes gravitational energy. Others will say that the energy is simply lost."

So I guess it comes down to your personal feelings towards pseudo-tensors

Over the last couple of weeks we migrated Karrot over to @Codeberg - GitHub had been feeling a less and less fitting home for the project.

So our new code home 🏠 is https://codeberg.org/karrot/

We also took the opportunity to refine our release process, so now our container-first releases are over here https://codeberg.org/karrot/karrot/releases - being built using Codebergs CI.

Here's to our bright new Codeberg future! ✨
