@ai6yr Someone explain to me how this isn’t terrorism.

@Fanfalla @Testoceratops What she said :) 💕

@vanderZwan Haha, indeed ;)

@landley No, licenses – which are contracts – cover use. (You’re welcome.)

I heard Alok Sharma on the radio this morning and his rhetoric gave rise to this linked observation https://mastodon.social/@urlyman/113151427444744509

@sjolsen @astridpoot To be fair, this could just as well be satellite imagery.

@queserasera Congratulations! I’m sure she would have been proud not only of that but of the person you’ve become and the ideals you champion :)

@heydon Only maybe they’re the hunters on Safari and we’re the game? (I mean, it’s a bit unfair to wild animals.)

@heydon Perfect analogy :)

@erinaceus Haha, nice :)

:kitten: 💕

@alexhaydock @x_cli @apicultor @briankrebs @Mer__edith Yeah, I almost never hit the Flathub site. GNOME software not displaying the verification state at the top is quite a security issue. As is having Signal Foundation as the owner. All this time I thought I was using the official Signal flatpak.

@x_cli @apicultor @briankrebs Oh, damn, I’m using the Flatpak package on Fedora because of that (I thought it was the official package).

Better than a takedown, would Signal be able to take it over and make it official, please, @Mer__edith? We can’t run apt packages on Fedora, etc.

Barring that, yeah, it should either be taken down or marked as unofficial.

@alx @julieofthespirits Neoliberals usually do.

@alshafei You know it’s time to worry when they start saying the quiet parts out loud.

@ilumium Hmm, based on that, I wonder how much of it was him protecting the interests of EU Telcos against those of Silicon Valley Big Tech.

I mean, I already have very low expectations when it comes to the EU Commission :)

@rmattila74 Again, not sure how that’s relevant. This isn’t about the quality of the code, it’s about its license and ensuring that what’s in the commons stays in the commons. No one’s going to break down your door if you’re playing with the data with a makeshift script. If you then, say, use the results of your makeshift script in a proprietary app, then that app should be released under the stipulated license.

@Cdespinosa This should play well with the ex-presidents who play golf demographic.
