so much of the early aughts small business and startups were people selling stuff and doing things out of ppls home. and not like the "startup industry" startups, actual startups b…

yeah no, this isn't a good take imo. we already have way too much of ISPs doing bad things to internet shaping and random governmental overreach (from state govts no less!) on doma…

except we need ISPs to be treated as relatively neutral parties. we don't hold the water company liable if someone uses water to cook up meth

to be fair, i once accidentally ended up on shreddit or new reddit or whatever they call it nowadays and i think there's something for managing your posts on reddit and seeing anal…

gallowboob in particular was an interesting case because he was very much a real person. and oh hell did a subreddit I mod know that way all too well i think the guy had a like a k…

"model" or "service" would be the term. basically the point is that it's not protected because it doesn't fall under any classification of IP (it's not copyright or patent since it…

ya it really is. it's the new name (where new is relative to like 10 years) for Trust & Safety.

the Unidan incident? iirc it only got noticed at the time because of an argument between him and Ecka6 which led to the somewhat famous "here's the thing you said a jackdaw is a cr…

some more information perhaps? banned_by true is more accurate to say "admin or automatic". in "admin mode," you can see these although not sure the UX for these nowadays now that …

> their IP it's not IP, and it's certainly not their IP > the TOS oh no, the terms of service how dare people break those. you don't get to claim fair use while CFAAing everyone's …

now generally available after 15 days from the breathless "omg we're spooked" posts

its not copyright maximalism. people just see the obvious hypocrisy. a lot of people are also fine with some copyright

in a lot of cases, the leaders of the communities are not following the rules. (see the ppl talking about ndas and such) in any case, this isn't like "oh we don't want to build an …

> i.e. if the maintainer is serious enough to buy stars, is not in theory likely to spend time /money in maintaining /improving the project also ?. i mean if maintainers clearly sp…

i mean ofc but like you can self-host pypi and the "Docker Hub" model isn't like VC-expected level returns especially as ECR and GHCR and the other repos exist

well no, (clean room )reimplementations of APIs have done since time immemorial. copyright applies to the work itself. if you implement the functionality of X, software copyright p…

don't do harmful things is pretty easy and can apply to adults too!

it's even worse than that and i hope people recognize that it's not that he's a True Believer (though the TBs are often hilarious) it's that he has no ethics to speak of at all. it…

even 100 kB dynamically generated pages should be a piece of cake. if it's CRUD like (original op's site is), it should be downright trivial to transfer that much on like... shared…

why wouldn't you? these are easily compressible text files. storing even like 100x into a 400 day (at most, the default for GH is 90) box is downright cheap to do on even massive s…

yeah, i mean i guess what i'm trying to say is that the breaking point is very far up there as computers have gotten towards breakneck speeds, especially on the technology side, fo…

i think that people vastly overstate the costs of this sort of thing and it's super bizarre. if you're treating this as a big official corporation™ and such and want to pay 500 dev…

I would dispute that pretty heavily. They're not, and obviously have never, claimed copyright over the DLL you made or whatever, nor the entire concept of linking to Windows APIs (…

> The US definition of "derivative work" is quite broad, and seems to cover linking just fine. the problem is the GPL view seems doubtful and has not only bad implications for soft…
