I’ll be the judge of that once I’m a passenger in such a scenario.

So is my resume but they don’t read it before the interview.

Interesting, SPDX does not list 0BSD as FSF approved, but FSF does approve it. This isn’t the first problem I’ve seen with SPDX’s list. They say CC0 is FSF approved but FSF only says it is approved for things besides code.

I disagree because most people are applying for everything. So many people are putting in dozens of applications a day. “What resonated with you” is the fact that they’re hiring at all. You can learn to love a job and find satisfaction in the work even if the company didn’t “resonate” with you.

What about us resonated with you?

Your offer to pay me.

Correct. They’re bad. And if someone releases code under CC0 that has patented stuff in it you may be liable for using their patent without permission because CC0 says in section 4a,

No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned, surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document.

Compare that to MIT which is considered to implicitly grant patent rights by saying you may deal in the software without restriction. Apache specifically gives you explicit patent rights in section 3.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work, where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s) with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You institute patent litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.

So the problem is that CC0 in it’s public license fallback specifically says that it does not grant patent rights.

CC0 is a trap for software. Please avoid it. Please encourage others so avoid it.

To the extent of my knowledge, the only public domain dedication with permissive license fallback that is approved by both FSF and OSI is the WTFPL. Which is also a crayon license. Public domain is a weird concept and not all jurisdictions have it and not all jurisdictions allow you to manually put things into it. This is why they need the permissive license fallback. You’re better off using a well known and well understood permissive license.

One pedal driving just sounds like motion sickness city.

I feel like if your car is doing anything to actively slow itself down (as in apart from just cruising) it should turn the brake lights on.

I love id.me, I’m so glad I had to give my facial data to them to collect unemployment insurance!

CC0 is a horrible thing to use for software. It seems great, but it specifically does not give patent rights. Compare that to MIT which implicitly does so. CC0 specifically says it does not.

It also plays into their goal to make VS Code seem open source while being the opposite! A lot of the functionality is in the marketplace but non Microsoft products aren’t legally allowed to use it and you’re not allowed to distribute builds of the plugins.

Use VS Codium instead.

No, if you think of censorship as a sliding scale with total freedom to say anything on one side and extremely rigid and locked down on the other, it doesn’t take much moving away from the anything goes side to want to block racists.

is my account and all its posts, comments, activity and bookmarks just gonna be gone?

No. Your account and it’s posts, comment, and activity will live on because they’re copied to other instances. You won’t be able to log on though. That’s why the post suggests making a new account and updating your bio before the shut down. Exporting and importing your settings will probably carry over bookmarks.

I mean, yeah, any instance could be gone at any time. Anything can disappear at any time. Don’t overthink it. Just pick a new instance at random like you did before. Export and import settings. Leave a note on your profile where your new account is. Once lemm.ee is gone, your account’s info page will forever say where your new account is. This instance shutting down doesn’t mean your old comments and posts disappear. Sure, you won’t be able to directly respond to them, but they aren’t vanishing.

It sucks, and it’s an annoyance, but it’s hardly the end of the world.

Think about if this were a non-federated platform. You’d be shit out of luck. All your posts and comments would be gone forever. All of everyone’s content from your instance would just be lost to time when the server shits down. But with federation it gets copied to other instances. It will live on there. The only time it won’t be is if someone makes a new instance after lemm.ee is gone, they won’t be able to pull in old lemm.ee stuff.

People aren’t reading Wikipedia articles with the intention of getting better at reading.

What’s funny is crawling the site would actually be more difficult and take longer than downloading and reading the archive.

Context for others, Wikipedia is only ~24 GB (compressed and without media or history). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Size_of_Wikipedia

As of 16 October 2024, the size of the current version including all articles compressed is about 24.05 GB without media.

Reddit arguably has no reason for it because if you’re banned you’re not supposed to make a new account. I would never do such a thing!

How is this failing? If lemm.ee was a traditional forum it’d be over, but because of federation everything lives on.

Yes officer, this one right here.
