if your game is gonna sell three copies you may as well make it free software and at least make it less likely it gets turned into dust by the passage of time

@pettanko @ChristiJunior Also, what makes these shitstains think anyone needs their permission to use something to train AI?

There's an old saying to the effect of the best way to learn to be a better writer is to read. I don't need anyone's special permission to learn something. What the flying fuck makes machine learning any different?

The government is staging these riots to make the whole Palantir shit look justified.

Pavel Durov, founder of Telegram, speaks out for the first time after his kidnapping by the government of France (likely at the behest of the US) for the dastardly crime of providing telecommunication services to the world (while simultaneously compromising your freedom by complying with government orders to hand over your personal information to said governments):

(this is the danger of even giving anyone reason or giving the appearance that you might be liberty-leaning in an pro-authoritarian leftist/right world, Pavel Durov isn't a libertarian, but he may lean that way on some issues in some respect)

@sun @vriska i mean, i get the OP is an exaggeration, but don't think conflating "this guy doesn't pay his bills, so you probably don't want to give him credit or enter into long-term financial obligations with him" with "this guy wrote 'winnie pooh' and isn't allowed to fly on a plane now" makes any sense.

I really miss the days when you can share your creations online and not get into any stupid drama about pronouns or some other retarded shit.

>tcrf has captcha now
>archwiki has had it for a few months
this is why wikis need to be decentralised in the first place.

i sympathise with @Xkeeper and agree the harassment is undeserved, but you're doing no better by hoisting your own ego above the need to preserve a niche knowledgebase for the public good. nothing about tcrf is "yours" other than that you host it. don't be disingenuous.

@sendpaws This kind of behavior is why I host like 40GB of git mirrors in the event that some project goes away, or becomes hijacked. I don't consider a thing I think of useful archived until I have at least one copy of it on one of my servers. It's sad that the archiving community was hijacked by people that value identity politics more than actual archiving and providing those archives to everyone. (I should check on textfiles.com how it's doing.) It's also why I don't consider IA to be a good place to archive software considering that it's been on life support for years now. "It's now on IA" is simply not enough.

@phnt this literally started over a user disagreeing with pride flags, and before this handling DDOS protection in a way more scuffed way than just using haproxy/anubis/blocking alibaba cloud or something.
