Would you also say that general licensing is irrelevant for everyone?
This is quite simple put in the article.

> The crawler did not respect our robots.txt, (which it did retrieve), ignored our Terms of Service, (which forbid scraping), and defied the creators' licenses: 423 of the 712 projects are licensed for non-commercial use only.

Little more context:

Reticulum is a alternative network stack to IP-based networking. It flips quite a bit in terms of topology, enough that most known networking tech has to be re-thought.

LXST is a format and protocol made for real-streaming across Reticiulum networks. It is made by the person who also created Reticulum.

Just found this post; and I see Liam Cottle _just_ did a talk at FOSDEM26 about the situation and the future:

This reminds me so much of Maggie Appleton blog post on "Home-Cooked Software and Barefoot Developers" [1]

We have so many people who are so excellent and fast and developing nowadays that we can even afford the time to build things for our community, friends and even just for ourselves.

It has probably always been like this, but I am just personally observing a higher-degree of people doing and talking about it. Even just the small-web/neocities bobble points into this.

Yes!

> ...without banning stuff?

What incentive do companies have to do this? It seems quite profitable for them?

I am quite strict here with my comment; but honestly, I can't see much reason other than making new products that are made as an "anti" movement, but companies will just find new ways to get people hooked -- because it is profitable for them to do so.

Love the irony of this post.
Switched from Gitlab to Forgejo at work and it is working fantastic for us. I am also using at home.

Using both container registry and self-hosted runners, etc.

I was personally very frustrated with ACL and generally inheritance rules in gitlab and it is much more sensible and easy in Forgejo.

This happens regardless as people leaving companies and whatever they produced. You will find so many examples of code out there in production and works through hopes and dreams.

And you know what? If it works it works - regardless how it was produced.

Re:Motion Sickness Accessibility in Video Games on Tuesday February 04, 2025 @10:43AM (#42933831)
Been gaming since forever and in the last 5 years I started getting nausated 70% of games I have played (also old once that were fine) and generally this is also what is working for me -- just a little bit here and there it gets a lot better.

I understand the article talks against this, but I am grateful that I am able to do this, but I wouldn't recommend it for everyone.
