@prologic@twtxt.net I think these proposals come from lawmakers that ignore the existence or the importance of the Open Source ecosystem; and indeed this moving forward as is would be tragic for all free software development. eg., out of my free time I’ve contributed a few patches to several twtxt/yarn related projects. I do not want to by liable for them, however.

@rlafuente@ciberlandia.pt tás a enviar mixed signals, que é muita bom foi o que eu ouvi na net!

@prologic@twtxt.net Perhaps Eclipse’s article on the subject is clearer.. but the main focus on Python’s text is on the liability clauses: while it might make sense that if you buy a product with software (or a software product) the vendor should be liable for its safety, security, etc., that does not translate well to the free software world, and it will have a chilling effect if, suddenly you (as a free software developer) start being liable for the flaws in that software. Python folks point out (and I agree) that “Assigning liability to every upstream developer would create less security, not more”, Eclipse people point out that “Every open source license contains no liability clauses”, and argue that “It is the companies which commercialize the technology and make a business from it who need to accept liability and provide warranties to their paying customers, not the open source projects”.

The EU’s Proposed CRA Law May Have Unintended Consequences for the Python Ecosystem (as well as the entire free software movement).

I expect better. I always end disappointed. I am to blame.

Looking forward to hear someone adapt this into a song’s lyrics!

For a good while I have been trying to recall the name of what was arguably the arcade game I played the most in my hometown, as a kid. Finally, I recalled: Cadillacs and Dinosaurs.

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Sometimes I read things like this and get an urge to write a SciFi story inspired by it. I never do.

@dfaria@dfaria.eu I’m more of a “Sol Invictus’ Black Easter” kind of guy:

@prx@si3t.ch I’m not sure I understand what you mean there, are you saying that :softwrap doesn’t work on vim when the text is colored?

@prologic@twtxt.net We really need to make the UX no this better. Perhaps alert the author that their images won’t be shown and why?

A MEO com publicidade a dizer que tem internet de velocidade supersónica… eles não sabem o que “velocidade supersónica” quer dizer, pois não?

@prologic@twtxt.net So picky! :-D but the Australian one after that is going to be online.

@prologic@twtxt.net Don’t be envious, the Australian Wikimedia also has an upcoming event!

A tiring yet very fruitful day at #WikiCon. And tomorrow there’s more to come!
