Israel's security cabinet approved a plan to take control of #GazaCity early Fri, hours after PM #Netanyahu said Israel intended to take #military control of the entire #GazaStrip despite intensifying criticism…over the devastating almost 2-yr-old war.
"The #IDF will prepare to take control of Gaza City while providing #humanitarian #aid to the civilian population outside the combat zones," Netanyahu's office said….
>> Myanmar’s military is using advanced European technology to protect its drone fleet as it carries out brutal aerial campaigns, research suggests, prompting calls for sanctions against the junta to be tightened.
>> #Myanmar has been subject to an #EU arms embargo in various forms since the early 1990s…
>> Campaigners, however, say sanctions are not wide-ranging enough, and that measures are inconsistent across the EU, as enforcement falls to individual member states.
This software is available under the terms of any license that currently appears on the list of approved open source licenses published by the Open Source Initiative or the list of approved free software licenses published by the Free Software Foundation.
Great idea until Stallman dies and the FSF gets taken over by the Crown Prince of Korea, who thinks the Business Source Licence is great and they should approve it
@dos @dpk well the joke is that it's as permissive/lax of a license as the most permissive/lax license in effect, but most lax licenses aren't lax because they can be relicensed, they still ordinarily operate under the terms of the original license, unless there's a specific clause for relicensing
But GPLv3 "or later" has the challenge where you have to trust the FSF, and that does have that challenge (and is meant to evoke thoughts about that)
@dos @dpk However, there's another joke in here about the *mutability* of this license choice: what happens if a license is *removed* from the list? By saying "currently" as opposed to "which appeared at any time", it's creating a challenge: it's not an append-only set, it could end up in strange places if something got removed
@dpk Courts operate not just on the license's letter, but also its spirit, so taking over FSF to publish a permissive GPLv4 wouldn't necessarily be as effective as it may seem at first glance - even if it would still cause plenty of chaos. In contrast, the spirit of this joke license is pretty much "an overly complex way to say it's MIT-0/0BSD" - that is, unless a court decides otherwise, judging from the whole context around a particular case and particular people involved ;)
@dos @dpk And if you don't know, here's from memory what happened:
Wikipedia was licensed under the GFDL, and that was before CC BY-SA was available as the world's most popular copyleft license for cultural works. How to relicense with so many contributors?
So... Creative Commons, Wikimedia, and the Free Software Foundation collaborated on adding a new version of the GFDL that allowed for relicensing to CC BY-SA if it were done within a short time window to allow Wikipedia to do it
@lanodan @dpk It is true - but it's not exactly relevant when it was pretty much done in best interest of everyone involved. Law is (supposed to be) a tool to protect interests of people, not the other way around.
But a fun fact about me: before I worked on decentralized network tech stuff (and partly during it), I used to work on the tech team (at one point tech lead) at Creative Commons, and went deep in the weeds on many FOSS / free cultural licensing things
I have much too cursed knowledge about these things because of it
I deeply hope you're right that Courts care about the spirit of the license. I have yet to see it in practice, and curious where you saw a Court do this.
This is an important issue we're exploring in the #Vizio case. I hope you'll follow it. sfc.ngo/vizio
"Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns."
"Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a later version."
That's not much wiggle room without risking legal uncertainty. 🤷♀️ I'm ok with that.
@kpcyrd @dpk Even without these clauses the outcome would likely be similar in western jurisdictions if a hostile takeover was attempted, but there's of course no way to know for sure without actually having a court decide (at which point it's already costing you time, effort and money), so every bit of reassurance/deterrence helps anyway 😁
Why did my alarm for potential circular reference go off? Better add "any other license that currently appears" and "except this license" in there somewhere. Some of us would be puckish enough to add an all-license metalicense to one of the incorporated-by-reference lists.
@bastetandptah apologies if I should've contacted the admin account for this but: can you consider heavily encouraging or even requiring sources when people post non-OC porn on this instance?
I don't want to ruin anyone's fun, but I feel like morally speaking it's the right thing to do. (and I appreciate that you do it for the things you post!!!!)
It has been on rule 8 of the instance rules since the beginning. We are not going to force it by removing users, but we send warnings in case of reports and eventually, we will limit the users who don't try to comply. There are so many images available on the internet, which makes it almost impossible to require sources for everything. In case there is a report for a specific image, we remove it and warn the user. That's what we can do on our end.

this is disgusting - even whilst (mildly) objecting to what Israel is doing, it still apologises for Israel, using justifications that have no basis in fact (like Israel's 'right to self-determination' and dating the whole conflict back to one date, not even to the week before or after)

I’ve been waiting for other Substackers to write about this, because there are people who work in this lane much more often and much more knowledgeably than I do.
Fuck these people, man. Genocidal assholes. I don’t know what else to say. Does it even matter what we say? The fuckers are going to do whatever the fuck they want and our impotent and complicit “Western” governments are just going to let it happen. The only way we stop this is if we topple shit at home.
They adopted five principles for ending the war, namely disarming Hamas, returning hostages, demilitarizing Gaza and maintaining a security presence, and the formation of a civilian government.
