Of course, I don't actually think any of this is possible under our current system. Capital has always made sure to tilt copyright laws their way. On top of that, capital (in the form of "AI" corps) has moved to the idea that everything that has been created is theirs to profit from, attempting to expand the concept of fair use to the point that any obligations under copyright law do not apply to them. They will rent all our creative outputs (in a much reduced and less potent form) back to us indefinitely.

So, yeah, the form of copyright I outlined above is not one I'm fighting for. It's just more of a (probably useless) thought experiment on harm reduction.

1. Copyright can only be held by natural persons.
2. Copyright is non-transferable (including after death (sorry, estates)).
3. License for distribution can only be offered under strict limits (e.g. Amazon could ask to license your film for distribution, but they would be prohibited by law for asking for a duration longer than, lets say, one year)
4. License for use, however, can be for unlimited time (e.g. You can offer me a license to read your book that lasts for my life).

1, 2, and 3 are attempts to honor the labor and efforts of the creators, while simultaneously sharply curtailing the leverage and ownership large corporations have on our culture, commons, and the creators that actually do the work. 4 just seems like a practical thing.

There is so much wrong with that, but I especially like how the summary.json is not programmatically derived values, output by, say, some script, and is instead a hardcoded dict that comes straight from the hallucination store.

I'm not saying you have to just thoughtlessly support things or not share meaningful critique.

I just think there is a nihilism, a pessimism, and a sabotaging quality to some of these behaviors that does not align with making change or even fully understanding the world. It is very reactive, and being ostensibly aligned with Good Values doesn't make it *authentically* aligned with creating change.

This is a silly example, but if you want interesting work to happen you can't take every opportunity you can to stomp on the necks of people trying things

Many people make the mistake of thinking, "these are the people I can reach, therefore these are the people I must badger" while remaining oblivious to the vast majority of the world they cannot reach, that those people are trying to do something in the context of

A website I was only allowed to make using a shitty template from some web team, low on my priority list to fix tbh.

Meanwhile we were doing things like standing up an IRB! at a tech company! Publishing open methods about human experiences while citing feminist scholars! I was out in public explaining our transparency and work until I was blue in the face, with academic-level consent standards for our research! But no, web design and aesthetics I guess

When I started the developer success lab, a lab *I had gotten funded to produce open science* which was already wild, someone on here laid into me in a long series of private DMs because in their view the colors and boxes on the first website "looked like sales". Nothing to do with the merit or content of my work or the actual things happening.

Like yeah we can debate the various problems of our designed algorithmic information amplification but that doesn't mean "wanting communication to a large number of people about something" is inherently evil

Only speaking from my own experience with it, but to me the way that most left-leaning social media communities seem to see "trying" as the same as "grifting" is both deeply problematic and personally difficult

#GitSocial: #Git-native collaboration platform

GitSocial is a CLI/TUI Go binary that stores issues, PRs, and other collaboration in git itself, as commits with structured trailers on gitmsg/* branches.

On top of its core design, that offers identity, static site generation, and notifications, there are a range of extensions:

The kart racing game demo is actually a perfect demo of LLM-generated games: as soon as I opened it my phone got like 20 degrees hotter, and it requires no player input aside from holding down "go" to win. It can imitate the form of a game in the least efficient way possible while having none of what makes a game a game.

It's certainly starting to look like much of tech is run or financed by Nazis and Nazi sympathisers. As in, out and out "will to power" fascists

The Month of Mending part 2: the green cardigan. This needs at least four repairs that I’m aware of. I committed and bought one of those little darning looms! Which is too little for the elbow hole. But look at my first practice patch, isn’t it darling?

Thank you all for your kind words! didn't expect this much attention on my post!

For those interested in #gliver, the source code is already hosted on #codeberg, but it's still very much a work in progress. There are still many features to add and bugs to hunt down.
You are more than welcome to explore the code or test out the window manager, but I wouldn't recommend using it as your daily driver just yet.

After 4 months of slow progress, my Wayland window manager built on #riverwm and written in #guile #scheme is finally functional!

I call it #gliver, it's heavily inspired by #emacs. It also inherits many of the architectural decisions and lessons learned from my other project #guile_swayer.

The screenshot shows a describe-variable function similar to #emacs
