You keep acting like your comment exists in a vacuum. It just simply doesn’t.

You also need to see how this looks to everyone else.

You come in here, and just spew a right wing “both sides” comment. Knowingly or not, that’s what you did. And you expect to not be pushed back against that?

You keep saying that’s not your intent, when frankly, that doesn’t matter. You don’t get to determine how your comment gets interpreted. Because it’s not your mind that’s doing it. Just like artists, your speech is no longer yours to control once said.

So I’m not American, I’m Canadian.

Your entire comment reads liek that one comic “ahhh but you participate in society I’m so smart”.

No one is arguing what you said to be true or not. If it’s that’s simple, then was it wasn’t really going to spark discussion. Did you really just intend to make a dead end statement?

No one is saying you shouldn’t speak, it’s just none of us want to listen anymore.

Also, to communicate is to interpret. That’s just how language works. An artist doesn’t get to determine how their work is seen. Its to be interpreted. What you say (and don’t) still says alot about you.

Here’s why I’ve downvotes you.

Your comment is at best rehotorical, or, more likely, a subtle “both sides are the same”

You can say it’s not what you said, but it kinda is.

You complain about a lack of nuance, but your originall comment also provides none.

The reason this is seen as and faith here, is because a LOT of people will come here, point something like that out, take in 0 additional context, and then run off proud.

I can’t tell if that’s actually your attempt at trolling or if you’ve just haven’t seen that kind of talk round these parts.

I was indeed. Kagi gave me an og repo.

I was indeed looking at an old one

Is it maintained? I just looked up their GitHub and it’s been 4 years, and the repo is archived. I wouldn’t install if it’s not getting updates…

EDIT: I was looking at an old project. See replies for more details.

You still haven’t explained the incentive, just postured that it must exist.

Why is it a zero sum game instead of raising taxes on the rich?

That still doesn’t answer why do it then.

They’re literally attaching conditions to money. That’s one of the fundamentals of buying influence is attaching strings.

Do you think this is an isolated instance? They’re probably trying to do this a lot.

And if course they’re trying to influence other orgs to their will. Why else would you do this?

That assumes you have that kind of cash to pay them back when they come knocking…

They’re buying influence. Its pretty clear.

Sure, if your physically able to do it all that is.

Things like these are important to disabled folks.

Because libertarians are the first to remove legal protections in the name of small government. This isnt a blanket rule, more anecdotal than anything. But the ones I’ve managed to find and interact with all want to remove all sorts of legal protections.

The party doesn’t seem to represent those that I’ve interacted with. I get what your saying, but that just doesn’t match with who I’ve interacted with.

Okay so here’s where I interject more opnion than above.

libritarians miss the forest for the trees. From your opinion above you say fiscal responsibility. But you deney the help that social programs provide, and actually benift the economy. Poor people spend stimuls checks locally more than higher income brackets for example. Government serves people, not commerce.

And it’s important to know, if that’s your attitude, your gonna get laughed out of every open source circle.

Why the fuck would I when your this hostile?

Also since you complained no one looked at your code, you have support for plain text passwords in your code. That’s a huge no no.

Hokay. So docker does run as root. Podman can run rootless, but docker does run as root.

So if you have any vulnerabilities in your code, like say remote code execution, than your app already has access to root.

Also, don’t pretend like your shit don’t stink. My code has bugs. And I’ve been at this a a decade. Your vibe coded thing isnt going to be secure because you probably don’t even know how to make it secure if you don’t know docker runs as root.

Here’s where I interject my opnion

Its fine to do this for yourself. If you wanted to hear how great your AI produced slop go to LinkedIn.

When you share things to be used by others, you have a responsibility yourself. How will you monitor and package up security updates? What kind of depenecinies do you have? Are they up to date? Do they have any CVEs?

There’s so much more to publishing than good intentions. Its fine to do something like this for yourself. But to publish and then absolve yourself of any responsibility is not a way to get taken seriously.

You say the open source line, and then apply it to a project that doesn’t value those values.

Free as in freedom comes without restrictions like commercial use.

If that low bar of source avaialble (last I checked you have to request the source). That’s fine.

But for a lot of FOSS people its not because it means you can never learn from the code, and apply it in your paying job. Or in your own project that suddenly gets big. Then suddenly someone is knocking demanding money.

Its about the community as much about the code.

Yes, however those aren’t “copy left” licenses like AGPL whose defining feature is the owner not holding copyright

Do you think it’s genetic? Like we will still learn about Nazis, and so long as we do there will be people who agree with it.
