If you want something welded or smashed on with a hammer and you don’t bring me the materials, I want cost of materials + 50% up front for custom work. Shit’s expensive.

“cn, email, uid” was such a choice of Web 2.0 that confused the hell out of so many people.

So, it’s super weird to see the FOSS Crowd simping for a company that’s taken what was once FLOSS (Free, as in Liberty), made it FOSS (already a problem), and is now hiding it behind pay-for-play in the repos.

Privacy vs Privacy. In this case I’m talking less about the accessibility of the information by masses and more about the acquisition of that data and the monetization thereof. I believe firmly in the right of the individual to control the relevant secure aspects of data (Confidentiality and Availability, integrity gets a back seat for a rare case). When an organization takes that data and utilizes it, it’s a breach of the desired confidentiality of the data. It doesn’t matter if the data is read it matters who is doing so and for what purpose.

Something akin to a non-commercial open source license. I don’t care much what individuals know my stuff, I do care what organizations know and do with it.

Consider that three common core values of the Fediverse, and open software in general, are a propensity towards transparency, privacy, and decentralization. Literally everything Meta stands for is in opposition to that, including their lackadaisical approach towards moderation. If you look at our value profile, Meta is a threat actor in that regard.

We aren’t trying to find out what something new is going to do. A cancer that metastasizes in every host it’s ever had is likely to keep doing so, you don’t take a wait and see approach. You excise the malignance.

In this case, you surround it with walls until it dies on it’s own.

Heghlu’meh QaQ dajaj!

Qapla’!

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.

The hell we can’t.

I think some mods need to purge their subreddits before noping out.

Computers. Or, more rightly, the mindless use thereof.
