Oh. It turns out that this was just in response to an anonymous spam post that just said "NIGGER BALLS" which got enough people triggered that they had to write this lengthy blog post in response. I kid you not.

Well it looks like Codeberg is following the footsteps of SourceHut. I mean, I always knew that they would ban people for promoting Nazism, but at least that has a clear definition. "Far-right" is extremely vague and according to the highlighted text in the first image, it seems like they are standing against right-wingers in general. Are they going to ban people for having moderately conservative views, not being against capitalism, being pro-gun, or being into conspiracy theories? Given, that the CEO is also friends with Drew DeVault, this does seem likely.

It seems like this blog post was in response to some harassment campaigns against certain project maintainers, but the final paragraph is extremely vague. It implies that they might purge any "far-right" (or simply "right-wing") user off of their platform. Again, the CEO is friends with Drew DeVault who goes out of his way to eliminate anyone he disagrees with from the FLOSS community, including moderate right-wingers, even if they promote those views off-site.

At this point, it's probably best that you just self-host your projects, if you can.

I wish that console manufacturers would at least open their legacy platforms. Atari did that with the Jaguar, but Atari knew that would be their last console (Flashbacks and VCS don't count). Reverse engineering can only get you so far. That's why Dreamcast homebrew is a far cry from official Dreamcast games, as the homebrew games are running on MIL-CDs instead of Sega's proprietary GD-ROMs.

@georgia @Alex He co-founded Reddit. He deserved everything that happened to him.

@djsumdog @grey @Zergling_man I never cared about bluetooth (I will always prefer auxiliary ports or cassette adapters) and every car I've owned had at least one dead speaker.

@Zergling_man @grey Kit cars are a thing, but they are made from salvaged parts of old cars. They're even legal if you can get them registered.

@Zergling_man @grey I get your reasoning, but I feel like the "don't buy any new x" is just a band-aid solution as all cars eventually die and given that a lot of people are fed up with the bullshit of new cars, I see used car prices skyrocketing in the coming years.

There truly is an untapped market for dumb cars, but given the heavy regulations in the car industry that prevents any newcomers, I don't see that happening anytime soon.

@Alex To be fair, the generative AI could make something that is heavily inspired but not something that would normally be copyright infringing if done by a human.

My game is using a few AI generated assets (text and backgrounds) and they are too generic to be infringing on anyone's copyright.

Has anyone else noticed that the same people who are criticizing generative AI for "stealing" people's intellectual property are the same people who were claiming that copyright is an outdated concept, years ago?

You can't have it both ways.

@LukeAlmighty Good for me? I'm not black. I'm just saying what I've noticed.
