"very easy" if you have access to the correct dependencies which outside of microsoft's walled garden, and access to a free LLM (https://elevenfreedoms.org/) which is not guaranteed at all

all of this looks very different when you have to patch in rust dependencies by hand outside of github.


Copyright has always been based on moral principles. 'Moral rights' have been part of copyright longer than "encourage innovation and hustle" has been something the government has considered worth promoting. The original copyright laws were about controlling who could print the bible, and the statute of anne was about encouraging learning while controlling what booksellers could and couldn't do. Copyright if anything was about preventing innovation from the very beginning, and slowing the hustle of culture down so that incumbents could edge out newcomers - a drama that has played out generation after generation


yet another github project. STOP USING GITHUB


why?


It is owned by the Evil corp?


seems like shortwave can come back if 2 things come back * access to electronic components [ie something like radioshack used to be being accessible] * local governments stepping back of regulation of airwaves a hint

unless you have one or both of those things, shortwave is useful only iff the government collapses


> With those modifications, it then builds Python from source across a wide matrix of Python versions, platforms, and build variants (e.g., optimized vs. debug builds), and publishes the built distributions to GitHub Releases.

This should be illegal.


How to handle this situation is literally defined in the LICENSE for any modern software project


Why?


Publishing to Github should be considered a crime.


Supply chain risk.


Please explain your reasoning.


Somebody else is building your binaries. You've added another link in your software supply chain. How do you know they haven't inserted malware?


> Somebody else is building your binaries.

That happens all the time. Who builds the docker images you are using?

> You've added another link in your software supply chain. How do you know they haven't inserted malware?

You're installing untrusted random packages from PyPI. There are many much weaker points than Astral giving you malware for fun.


Sure it happens, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't think about reducing it.


> Somebody else is building your binaries.

FYI there are two parties you are talking about: Astral, and GitHub too (if you don't trust Microsoft).


> But even that open source model needs to have basic ethical protections, or else I'll have nothing to do with it.

If you don't understand that the eleven freedoms are "basic ethical protections" you have already failed your responsibilities. https://elevenfreedoms.org/


I have read the eleven freedoms.

I refuse freedom 9 - the obligation for systems I build to be independent of my personal and ethical goals.

I won't build those systems. The systems I build will all have to be for the benefit of humanity and the workers, and opposing capitalism. On top of that it will need to be compatible with a harm reduction ethic.

If you won't grant me the right to build systems that I think will help others do good in the world, then I will refuse to write open source code.

You could jail me, you can beat me, you can put a gun in my face, and I still won't write any code.

Virtually all the codes I write are open source. I refuse to ever again write a single line of proprietary code for a boss again.

All the codes I write are also ideological in nature, reflecting my desires for the world and my desires to help people live better lives. I need to retain ideological control of my code.

I believe all the other 11 freedoms are sound. How do you feel about modifying freedom 9 to be more compatible with professional codes of ethics and ethics of community safety and harm reduction?


But again, this makes YOU the arbiter of truth for "harm" who made you the God of ethics or harm? I declare ANY word is HARM to me, are you going to reduce the harm by deleting your models or code base?

Github does not count as open source: this is not actually open source.


This project is open source: it is released under the Affero GPL, an OSI approved license [1].

github only

  = this is not open source
unlike, say, wormhole


LocalSend is also on Codeberg:

https://codeberg.org/localsend/localsend

While GitHub is not open source, LocalSend is under the MIT License: https://codeberg.org/localsend/localsend/src/branch/main/LIC...


Codeberg has become a really great service I used it commercially for the first time this winter it should be the new Github IMHO.


?


I don't think you understand what open source means then


damn you're not joking


codeberg are censors. People should be migrating elsewhere. https://codeberg.org/themusicgod1/codeberg-is-corrupted-dont...
