Reverse engineering Skifree

Re:Reverse engineering Skifree by userbinator on Sunday June 12, 2022 @08:33PM (#31719649)

I think it has been confirmed by the courts that linking is not a form of copyright infringement and therefore legal. Asking people not to do so is at best going to those create a lot of anger from who don't want the Internet to devolve into proprietary walled gardens of content, and at worst is basically asking to be Steisanded.

There have been some funny attempts at trying to stop others from linking to one's site, e.g. by jwz. Then again, this person does use Twitter...

This is a question of courtesy, not the law.

When someone asks that their Twitter threads not be posted here, anyone knowing that can either do then the courtesy of respecting their wishes, or not. That is not subjective.

No, respect is default, until lost.

Are you conflating respect (treating someone with human decency) with respect (treating someone as an authority)?

sure, in the real world we're all going around checking everyone's respect earnings to know whether we should use their preferred names, pronouns, exempt them from our favourite slurs. Gotta earn that

I don't think sli was referring to respecting by not linking, I think they were talking about respecting one's identity.

But that would be a loss to community, and we would not want Foone to goes full offline won't we ?

You can reasonably ask an unreasonable request. If the neighbour politely told me that they don’t like me walking past their house on the public sidewalk, I will ignore such a request because I’m entitled to walk on public property. Just like how I believe it’s unreasonable to request people do not link to public web pages.

A reasonable request would be “I never published this publicly or have since deleted it, please stop reposting it”

The subjective part is they believe it is reasonable to request this while others do not.
