Please mirror your stuff on forgejo or another open source git forge. They‘re working on federation and this might just be the best thing ever. Being able to not make an account on another one‘s forge would be awesome. I have like 6 plus accounts and its driving me nuts.

Anyone else remember when MS bought github and a LOT of folks were saying this is where we'd see that they have changed and won't fuck things up this time because Nadella is so much cooler than Balmer? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
I know people don't like sending patches to mailing lists and prefer the zoomer PR UI but god damn if you look only at the protocol openness perspective nothing comes close. sr.ht is great in that regard
I hope github "enshitifies" to bankruptcy
Let's use codeberg :))
and or sourcehut @ sr.ht supporting foss is always based.
Don't forget you're contributing your code to Bill's AI
Which is under litigation https://githubcopilotlitigation.com/
This is exactly why I add a non-commercial license to my comments. If courts decide that Github was in the wrong, then there's a chance commercial AI makers just scraping the web might be on the hook too.
Is that license applicable to painting?
Creative Commons is for creative works, hence the name Creative Commons, I believe.
Creative Commons licenses give everyone from individual creators to large institutions a standardized way to grant the public permission to use their creative work under copyright law.

There are many platforms that use the CC license.
I just scraped your profile and used it for training my commercial AI product. sue me b.
Everything I write on my blog is NC. Realistically, this should be built into the metadata of the comments just like language as I’ve seen some folks get harassed for trying to license their online comments when this is an acceptable thing to do & a nice act of rebellion. Honestly I wish there was more room for things like the Peer Production License & Prosperity License for code to remove the commercial exploitation, but FSF labels in “unfree” & it’s GPL-incompatible so it is treated like cancer when really it’s like Creative Commons Noncommercial but for source code as it’s still allowed to be used by individual workers, nonprofits, etc.
I've given up discussing with people who don't understand this. They are reminiscent of those who mocked people who cared about privacy before Snowden's revelations, found out they were being spied on, and then inhaled the copium of "I've got nothing to hide".
As for NC licenses on text, IMO it has to be in the text otherwise it's too easy clean, but tbf, obvious text like mine is probably easy to clean too.
