in reply to a14o • • •it used to be; but ibm made them change things around to maximize profit potential like they did with ansible.
open source is enshitifying and the labor aristocracy that creates it is mostly aligned with the oligarchy's efforts to squeeze profit out of it.

This is what FOSS owned by non-profits that work as a facade to tech giants means, you can't have free software if you don't commit to keeping the motives free from shareholders and profits.

"I'll weigh in a little bit here, I guess. At this point, I'd rather not implement something like this and don't see the point of the legislation as written (other than, more than likely, get a foot in the door.) But my code is my speech. I doubt these laws would survive a challenge, as it's pretty clearly government compelled speech.
Any lawyers looking for a test case?

I can't find anything concrete from Fedora but the Fedora leader was thinking of ways to comply in some manner a month ago and had more ideas recently

so this is my first post on lemmy, even though i've had my account for many years. i've always liked the concept of lemmy, but i never used it because it had a reputation for being the people who left reddit because reddit was not extreme enough.
i used to go through all the subs and i saw that the conservative subs were heavily downvoted. i assumed those were bots, because who in their right mind would spend their entire day downvoting things? although, i always kept it in the back of my mind that maybe they really were that crazy.
regardless, i stuck with reddit because, as bad as reddit is, it didn't seem as biased as lemmy.
now that's changed because reddit is censoring any post about these age ID laws. and that's typical reddit. when its the most important, they censor you.
so now we are back to lemmy. and i guess this is the test. is lemmy an actual free speech platform? because what you are suggesting is completely insane. i grew up super left, and any discrimination based on race is racism. its wrong, and we do not tolerate it. b

no. just no.
now lets see if you can just flag my post and have it taken down for speaking truth (like reddit).
i was super impressed by all the responses so far. only yours is coming out of nowhere with something completely off topic. and you got the most upvotes. that's concerning, but if you can't censor, then i don't care.

in reply to megagumby • • •Now I have no fucking idea what your exact ideas are, but I will be assuming they largely coincide with Lunduke's from the way you're wording your temper tantrum. Here's what I found about him in around 10 minutes of digging:
- He mocks and belittles people who are more than four times more likely to get assaulted and have sky-high suicide rates. His mocking isn't even accurate. Even skipping over the fact that gender isn't synonymous with sex, trans people who have medically transitioned ARE females. Sex isn't just about the producing of gametes, that would mean infertile people (like women in menopause, or people just born without a functioning reproductive system) would be sexless. Sex is a combination of multiple biol

I doubt ML'ers will do much against you, but if they do you can just fuck off to X anytime you want if you want to be able to regurgitate lies your internet daddies told you (truth). That site welcomes such people.

i hope debian & ubuntu don't go the same way; they're my most likely next hops.

in reply to pound_heap • • •i suppose that the same would be true of any distro that has live patching capabilities since all those distros are backed by a corporate entity afaik.
there's something to be said about the open source world capitulating to such a degree that we're going to have to regress to older offerings to escape the oligarchical capture that's happening as well as little-to-nothing being said about it's biggest figures silently endorsing this trend.
