@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.

@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!

#WikiCon Portugal 2023 has started today, a 3 days free event, a gathering not only about Wikimedia, but free culture in general. I’ll be there the next two days, come say hi!

unfortunately, it isn’t “just Germany” the whole EU seems OK with ignoring the urgency science proves the sittuation demands. And this was already an watered-down decision…

EU: Proposed liability rules will harm Free Software

My “one snippet” from today’s IPCC report: “Climate change is a threat to human well-being and planetary health. There is a rapidly closing window of opportunity to secure a liveable and sustainable future for all. The choices and actions implemented in this decade will have impacts now and for thousands of years.”

@eldersnake@twtxt.net Unfortunately it is a plague. In Europe we have CDSM’s Article 15.

This is an image with an alt text with new lines in it. Yarn.social’s web interface renders it “well”, the mobile app does not. Which is the correct behavior? Is this how new lines on image’s alts are supposed to be? If so, should the web interface be replacing the “new line characters” with actual new lines? Or, in fact, what is the correct way to add a new line in alt texta in html?

So many questions 😊 anyone care to comment?

@prologic@twtxt.net I see. Well, as I said, I see value in such a bridge, but I don’t think it replaces yarn.social’s AP integration. It could, however, be used as a backend in yarn.social: a pod would delegate the AP bridging, and all of that would be transparent to the user.

Also, how would you go about it? I mean, I can start using a txt on my client that is actually coming from a proxy service generating it from an AP account (like we already have on feeds), but how do I announce that your service should “follow back” my own feed so you can see replies and translate them into AP replies?

@prologic@twtxt.net While I think this is a cool idea, I don’t think it is a replacement for what you have been trying to achieve on yarn.social.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Here’s to old school coffee!

@prologic@twtxt.net I see: I was speaking in the end user’s perspective tho, I suppose those concerns only really affect the pod owner? And, if that is the case, giving a pod owner the ability to toggle AP integration on/off us probably good enough to mitigate those concerns?

@prologic@twtxt.net to be fair, I don’t really see a difference here: with the integration, users still only see the feeds they choose to read (either as a twtxt or AP), right? Or this is more a problem of the integration making the network “grow too fast”?
