Yep, it is.

This will also hopefully limit the number of issues opened that are resolved with a “you must enable X feature.”

Output from an AI has just been recently considered as not copyrightable.

Where can I read more about this? I’ve seen it mentioned a few times, but never with any links.

Drives me crazy when I see this kind of format for things like programming. Nothing like pausing the video and trying to see what their code says.

Can you give a code example of what you have tried to do already?

Exactly! Always push for code pointers for everything people tell you about the codebase. Even if the code has a bug and isn’t working as intended, it’s so important to know the actual truth if what’s happening.

An easy way to confirm your first point: would you still want to do it if you were paid significantly less? If so, then yeah, you’re in the right place.

So many problems can be solved by just reading the code. A corollary to this: make sure the code you write is readable.

Dang, this 3 year old post sure is hot.

Exactly. This event is an effort for them to prove that the platform is just as active and enjoyable as it was before the chaos.

The community tends to favor more permissive licenses in general. I think a lot of it is due to a large amount of core libraries (often owned by members of the core team, in Rust nursery, or otherwise central to the ecosystem) using MIT or Apache 2.0, which means users who begin publishing their own libraries and know next to nothing about licenses will just follow suit.

I do wonder how it would hold up on court to basically clone something by rewriting it in a different programming language and then relicense it. I’m no lawyer though, I have little understanding of how these things work.

I actually had to temporarily block the memes community because of this. Sorting by hot resulted in nothing but memes, and it was driving me crazy that they were doing the whole “post old memes” thing.

I love how you didn’t even read the sidebar of this community and just posted whatever you wanted anyway.

Rule #1 in internet privacy: don’t assume best intentions of anyone. Just because it is open source does not mean whoever hosts the instance didn’t modify the source.

Idk man, that filter led me to this post.

I’m guessing we’ll see less song lyric stuff due to the lack of karma. Those threads were basically only good for harvesting free upvotes.

RPG Maker XP was released in 2004, nearly 20 years ago, and yet the entire Pokemon fan game community uses it exclusively. Pokemon Essentials, by far the best framework for creating fan games, is written for it, and is still maintained to this day. It’s such a large complicated project, with a huge ecosystem of plugins and resources, that it’s impractical to migrate to the newer RPG Maker software that has been released since.

I was gonna say, the article says that streaming ruined media preservation for an entire generation, but guess what, the pirates were preserving it anyway.
