Part of the reason why I moved away from Github all my essential 'infra' repos and only keep 'portfolio' repos in there which I want to show to potential employers.

#12How is this news when we all know git is decentralized? News at 11: company enforces their own TOS. Github is about as useful as a brand of kleenexes. If y'all didn't want this you wouldn't have used your damn pull request software to host your code.

#13Wow! for context: AUTOMATIC1111 created and maintains (maintained?) an extremely popular and active web ui for stable diffusion. Beast-mode maintainer. Even after the debacle w stability.ai (who, to their great credit, I believe, normalized discord chatroom relations rapidly), that’s a string of bad luck for this community keystone of the nascent txt2img technological tranche. Whatever the eventual steady state of th…
Looking at the Reddit thread about this, there was some arguably racist stuff going on in his repo which could've been related to this suspension. I'm not sure whether this is the right way to handle such things (banning those specific repo's might be better), but it would be somewhat understandable.

#14If this really is about racism, as some people are suggesting, it makes me wonder how equitably such TOS-rules would be applied in other cases.
For example, if Linus Torvalds turned out to be a racist or sexist or homosexist or transexist, would his Linux repository (https://github.com/torvalds/linux) be hammered? Would he be removed from the Linux project somehow?

#15Having a Rimworld mod that removes black characters is not enough to warrant a platform ban, in my opinion.
I think if you’re doing racist stuff, you should expect that the owner of the platform you’re doing it on will probably not like that and find a way to kick you off.
The user is probably not a card carrying neo-nazi, but I’m sorry this is 2023, how on Earth can people still expect not to get called for juvenile 4chan-level trolling like this?

This entire industry is built on exploiting both workers and consumers. If you think you have a say, you do not, unless your say does not impact the business model. The TOS is designed to be a middle finger to your face.

#17There's some (instinctive?) criticism of Microsoft/GitHub here but as others have pointed out, the maintainer appears to be uploading racist content. If that's the case, it's a clear boot.
It ought to be clarified though.

#18Looks like relying on a centralised github isn't the most reliable choice. It's convenient, but if you don't want to be held ransom by Microsoft's decisions, then a self hosted repository has to be the way forwards.
Yeah, someone should invent a version control system that does not rely on some central entity but is actually distributed.
I know you're joking, but what I suppose would need to happen is for someone to also come up with ways to do federated code discovery, search, browsing and ways to show off contributions. For issues and PRs there's mailing lists, but it seems the young uns are appalled by that, so maybe that too.

What do the double and triple parentheses mean in context of a Stable Diffusion prompt like the one you linked?
e.g. might it apply some weighting to the phrase?
Additionally, I wonder, looking at that prompt, maybe he was banned for beastiality.

It's strange isn't it how people keep inventing distributed systems such as the internet itself, and yet money/politics/laziness entices people to use a centralised resource with all the problems that go with that.
