The blog post that "was not received well by the fediverse" is this
https://blog.cron.world/article_12.html
and it is fascist apologia.
By framing Anachron's stepping down as a problem in PR rather than the massive breach of trust it is, Fosstodon signals that it's ok to be a fash mod as long as you are discreet about it.
And that's the second time they get caught doing it.

@nprofile…2386 TIL SveltePlot, thank you :)

Fosstodon is now a real life example of the nazi bar story.
The nazi has sat at the bar, drinking quietly. And no one is throwing him out.
His buddies will soon be here.

Just for flavor -
for no reason, and at the last possible moment, the greek state has prohibited drone flight near the protests today.
They say it's for "security reasons" but what else would they say? It's obviously a lie because at the same protests a month ago no such prohibition was imposed and nothing bad happened.
The actual reason is that independent drone footage always shows that police lie about the crowd sizes.
This is what we're up against.

@nprofile…kxav Yup, works fine here.

You may have heard of modern luddism, but maybe you're uncertain what it's about, or perhaps you're even dismissive of it because you think it's categorically against technology.
Well, here's a talk by @nprofile…q54u that criticizes the open source movement from a luddite perspective. By being critical of tech's effects on society and people (as luddites are) he identifies the problems with open source, and paints an optimistic future that can be.

@nprofile…tfka The Codeberg blog post
https://blog.codeberg.org/we-stay-strong-against-hate-and-hatred.html
identifies the perpetrators as promoters of far right extremism and their motives purely ideological.
If this isn't political, then we may not be sharing a common definition of what constitutes political.

The recent attack on #Codeberg shows, if anything, that software is very much political.
Pretending to ignore this means you're siding with the status quo.

@nprofile…8x0h is commendable for demonstrating how politics are inseparable from FOSS, and they cut right to the core of the issue with their latest announcement.

Well done everyone at Codeberg, I am proud that I chose you as my forge.

@npub13w6…479m Yes, now, see? That makes sense, high brow shitposting is an art form. I'm ok with this.

@npub13w6…479m To be honest, source control is a hard problem to begin with, and i think git solves it ok.
I don't fully understand it, but then again I started as a professional the dying days of SVN and i don't think it made more sense to me than git did.

@npub13w6…479m I'm not trying to start a movement - at least, not a "hating git" one.
It's just that i've been seeing a lot of dunking on Git, and it caught my attention.

2023-08-10 12:17:10 UTC

I am a bit disconnected from Mastodon the past couple of days - are we hating #Git or what is going on?

2023-07-05 08:45:40 UTC

Wait.
Google updates _their_ ToS to say that they have a right to whatever i post online.
Does that mean that my ToS which may forbid Google from reading my stuff is irrelevant?
Is it a matter of who has the more legal resources? Are we at a stage where we need legal coverage from a some other huge company at a size similar to Google to sue them and protect everyone's rights?
Can someone please explain how this is not mafia tactics? What is the legal reasoning that allows Google to do this?
