Are you guys fine with these new shenanigans from Github. I found a bug and wanted to check what has been the development on that, only to find out most of the discussion was hidden by github and requesting me to sign-in to view it.
It threw me straight back to when Microsoft acquired Github and the discussions around the future of opensource on a microsoft owned infrastructure, now microsoft is exploiting free work from the community to train its AI, and building walls around its product, are open source contributors fine with that ?
Don’t forget you’re contributing your code to Bill’s AI
Which is under litigation https://githubcopilotlitigation.com/
This is exactly why I add a non-commercial license to my comments. If courts decide that Github was in the wrong, then there’s a chance commercial AI makers just scraping the web might be on the hook too.
Anti Commercial-AI license
Everything I write on my blog is NC. Realistically, this should be built into the metadata of the comments just like language as I’ve seen some folks get harassed for trying to license their online comments when this is an acceptable thing to do & a nice act of rebellion. Honestly I wish there was more room for things like the Peer Production License & Prosperity License for code to remove the commercial exploitation, but FSF labels in “unfree” & it’s GPL-incompatible so it is treated like cancer when really it’s like Creative Commons Noncommercial but for source code as it’s still allowed to be used by individual workers, nonprofits, etc.
I’ve given up discussing with people who don’t understand this. They are reminiscent of those who mocked people who cared about privacy before Snowden’s revelations, found out they were being spied on, and then inhaled the copium of “I’ve got nothing to hide”.
As for NC licenses on text, IMO it has to be in the text otherwise it’s too easy clean, but tbf, obvious text like mine is probably easy to clean too.

Is that license applicable to painting?
Creative Commons is for creative works, hence the name Creative Commons, I believe.

There are many platforms that use the CC license.

There is no Bill Gates, it is CIA. Stop this one enemy person thing. US government terrorist organisation is behind these things as a whole.
Good take, but anyway, we are going to ignore all of them anyway
Waiting for forgejo federated repo search, federated code search, federated issues, then we can finally block github on DNS level
