a friendly reminder:
proprietary software is unethical because it restricts user freedom and evil corporations love that shit
open source is unethical because you're just giving more training data to evil corporations
permissive licenses are unethical because you're allowing evil corporations to use your work
copyleft licenses are unethical because a starving transfem game developer won't be able to use your code in her next game that she really needs to sell because otherwise an evil corporation will evict her from her apartment
@pierogiburo@tech.lgbt computers are unethical because..well, look at them

@pierogiburo@tech.lgbt we've also been thinking a bit how the same people that love xkcd 2347 also are the loudest when the person in Nebraska starts using Claude, while they wouldn't dare to be this vocal at a company. And sure most people can't afford to protest like that at work, but it's been increasingly common that OSS devs are held to an even higher moral ground
Society
No I'm actually kinda tired because the naming and shaming clearly doesn't work for individuals singlehandedly maintaining some piece of software used by over a billion devices, and people suddenly caring and wanting to fork a project they didn't even give two shits about before
Also everyone stopped content warning this shit so we can't escape it -

@pierogiburo @natty I mean, I've been embracing art and following more artsy people and honestly it makes me feel much better
Maybe if we all just quit, the internet just breaks
And then we're all free

@MiaWinter@tech.lgbt @pierogiburo@tech.lgbt to be fair it exists in the art community too but the only way to be free is not making doomscrolling someone else's problem

@pierogiburo i really *really* hate that i have to attach a license to everything i make, what if subtlety threatening everyone around me who uses anything i make sucks actually
like actually, this but unironically.. fuck licenses,

@tk @pierogiburo tbh software licensing id say you can definitely say that, but software itself not really,
