I never said that you can remove a license retroactively. A CLA is an assignment of copyright from the contributor to the company. The only reason for a company to add a CLA to a project is to put a rug under the project which they will pull as soon as they gained a critical mass of users. It fundamentally undermines the social contract of open source development. These companies want to enjoy all the benefits of open source, like the market appeal and the free labour, but none of the drawbacks. A CLA is just one thing, a promise that the project will go non-free in the future.

Let me introduce you to the magical concept of the CLA. It means they can do whatever they want with the project but you can not. You should never contribute to CLA projects.

It was horse shit when jakearchibald wrote it; its still horse shit now.

Very very simple.

Really? I find it quite feature packed for a notes taking app.

Here are a few more:

logseq

Its an outliner, a colleague of mine basically lives in that thing.

silverbullet

It’s almost perfect for me but the browser based editing made it unusable because there is no way to unmap Ctrl + W in a browser and I can’t live without my Vim bindings.

QOwnNotes

This is the solution for normal people who don’t spend n+1 hours tweaking their editor configuration.

Org-Roam

For people who do spend n+1 hours tweaking their emacs configuration.

Document the features and requirements, then rewrite it with proper architecture and without LLMs.

This was discussed just a few days ago.

That’s a fun idea but AI companies would probably just screenshot the website and OCR the text if this became common. It’s also really inconvenient for the users as it breaks both copy pasting and Ctrl+F searching.

You can target the crawlers using tar pits and proof-of-work application firewalls but I am doubtful that poisoning does anything. The second a poisoning method becomes common enough to have an effect the AI companies will just start filtering for that. Unfortunately the only way I see that prevents your work from being stolen is to either not publish it at all, or to only publish to smaller invite based communities that closely monitor who is accepted.

Trans inclusive misogyny

Them using a larger town for this human experiment is intentional. If they used a smaller place people might know each other well enough to organise an effective resistance to prevent this effort.

I mean somebody has to build the love shack.

That’s about as realistic as the Russian court that fined Google for two undecillion roubles.

Try Listenbrainz, it creates weekly discovery playlists based on your listening habits.

Yes, for the Gnome ecosystem.

You can read about the reasoning here.

Basically using GTK alone became a lot of unenjoyable work for them because they didn’t want to depend on libadwaita and since its something they do for free in their free time it has to be fun.

My guess would be that its because La Suite tries to replace all of Microsoft Office and having all the moving parts under your organisations control makes it easier to create a fully integrated office suite that offers the same UX throughout. Also Jitsi is owned by 8x8, a US company, which might have factored into the decision to create something new.

I think there are some differences that make the fediverse more resilient to this. For example, the absence of cumulative account karma keeps out the reddit style karma farming. The ability to ban whole instances also makes it easier to kick out bad actors. Instance admins could also implement their own rules like switching to an invite based system to reduce bot spam. Also it seems to me that reddit is actively encouraging this kind behaviour to inflate their user statistics and there is no incentive to tolerate this kind of spam for a fediverse server admin.

Wikipedia has some more info. I read it as, a couple of Freemasons where cosplaying as Knights Templar and built this for their rituals.
