Isn’t that signing thing the legal way to keep things open source? Iirc FSF had that too.

This is my prerequisite for switching from GitHub to Codeberg

It’s the software that runs codeberg

Pro and max sound big

Now try on tor browser in safest mode. Or in a text based browser. It’s just an empty page.

But it did give them an excuse to fire people and keep wages lower.

Why are the polish kicking so much Foss ass in the past years?

has become a threat to public safety. An FBI director is expected to be available and focused on his job—especially when the nation is at war with a state sponsor of terrorism

I’m surprised to hear them admit that Israel sponsors terrorism.

Maybe the US can look in a mirror.

So self censorship is the problem. But there is no real threat to contributors

So they moved to gitlab of codeberg or self hosted gitea?

What’s your point? Git is decentralized. Getting banned from GitHub takes about 1 day to fix, at most.

these very firms are now lobbying for stricter age verification mandates. They’ve positioned themselves as protectors of children while actively working to expand the legal requirements that guarantee their revenue stream.

Lawmakers mandate an impossible task, VC-backed startups pop up to sell a “solution,” those startups then lobby for even stricter mandates to protect their market, and the cycle repeats.

“Child safety” has simply become the marketing department for a rent-seeking surveillance industry.

Excellent point

Every single time you mandate age verification, you are mandating the creation of a centralized database of extraordinarily sensitive personal information. Government IDs. Biometric facial data. The kind of data that, once breached, cannot be “changed” like a password. You get one face. You get one government ID number. When those leak—and they will leak—the damage is permanent.

Now do KYC verifications

wait, they actually designed this shit with biometrics?

I thought they tried to placate us with zero knowledge proofs, at least? No?!?

Where do I get one thats the size if a phone?

There’s literally no way they van enforce laws on an open source project

No good ones, anyway.

No. Debian will avoid this. They are a project, not a corporation

This law applies to companies, not free software projects
