ACAB: All CEOs Are Bastards. #acab #corporatocracy

there's the amusing line of thought regarding the “source-available” proprietary licenses, which maintains they're targeted against the abuse of the free software by the large saas companies. and of course it's bullshit. large saas companies are big enough to take over maintenance of the latest non-encumbered version, throw funds and people at it, and even provide the result to the public (cf. elastic search and opensearch). or, if they feel like it, they may just buy out the whole company with its product instead of paying licence fees – if they really need it and there's no other way to get the required expertise. the people who actually get shafted by the license changes and embrace of the proprietary model are the other open source projects that depend on the now-closed software, and small-to-mid-sized companies.

The Elastic folks out here being reply guys downplaying the Redis license changes is so very on brand. 🤦🥴

Not only could we not rid ourselves of PDFs but now we're inventing ways to talk to them

I said it before, and I'll say it again: Marco Inaros is every dude who ever learned to ape the language of feminism and race and gender studies specifically as a means to hit on women and manipulate real, legitimate grievances into a play to increase their own power. He's a gaslighting abuser. Plain as.

Anyone got a new brain? I'd really like mine to give me a fucking break and let me recover 🧠

In this latest, they say: "Redis has been sponsoring the bulk of development alongside a dynamic community of developers eager to contribute". I was just talking to @quaid about this, and he made an excellent point: if your company-sponsored open source project is still 95% company-developed, _you messed up several years ago_.

I've been at the OSS Growing Pains workshop focused on governance these last couple of days, and I've never felt more confident that I'm in the right place. I'll be unpacking and riding on this experience for a while! Deeply grateful to @shauna@social.coop for the invite, and to have spent time with amazing humans like @HeatherLeson@fosstodon.org, @silona@fosstodon.org, and @ntnsndr@social.coop ✨

For fun I recently pimped out a ruby script that I had written for some testing with a little color and a spinner. If you have never used ANSI escape codes before I've put together a simple script that shows how easy it is. First let me say that if you are using ruby and

As Threads rolls out support for ActivityPub, Meta’s approach is to require each Threads user to manually enable fediverse integration. This was demoed yesterday at FediForum. It’s a perfectly …

@manton But imagine the outrage if they automatically opted everyone in? 😬

There's been a thread about dependencies lately and the challenge of convincing developers to look at the full dependency chain. I once maintained a C++ binary that included a PostScript interpreter, a JPEG decoder, a JavaScript interpreter, and a number of other utterly irrelevant pieces causing a huge factor increase in the size of the binary. The culprit: A single logging statement that invoked a general-purpose printer that could print web stuff. Switching to sprintf fixed it.

Thought for the day: Billionaires are a symptom of poverty. (Paraphrasing Iain Banks on money, but more specific to our times because we still need some way to allocate scarce resources, just: not like that.)

"Billionaires are a symptom of poverty." Every once in a while I'm reminded that my "wasting time" on this site is not wasting time, because it's how I can incredible ideas or articulations like this.
