Todays FOSS Drama served to you by @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de Tl;dr: Codeberg wants to exclude "vibed"/" LLM'd projects from its platform by means of TOU, hilarity ensues. https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/pulls/1253#issuecomment-19820434 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49003386 (via, also some discussion) Adding one here: Burden of proof and how do you sufficiently prove or refute the "vibed" nature of any given work without falling to arbitrary / unpredictable results. One more argument for self-hosting. Also interesting to projects such as #bizzfed or #nolto both of which would likely or clearly be banned from the platform now. #fossdrama #foss #hackernews #opensource #LLMs #tos #codeberg #intellectualproperty #selfhosting

UPDATED, pinged the problem children. @mozilla@mastodon.social @thunderbird@mastodon.online Sigh. I was hoping that #Thundermail #Mozilla #email would be good. NOOOOOOOPE. I had my #localLLM review their Terms of Service #TOS and #PrivacyPolicy . Its general Big Tech nonsense. My words, not the LLM. Terms of Service fuckups The "Arbitrary Dictator" Clause (Section 9c). WE'S DONT LIIKE THE CUT OF YOUR JIB. No due process. Fuck right outta here, no refunds. The "We Don't Care If You Lose Everything" Clause (Sections 11 & 12). You pay for a service but they promise absolutely nothing. They could shut down tomorrow, and youre SOL. The "Pay Our Lawyers" Clause (Section 13). If you fuck up, or not even fuck up and someone comes after them and they mention you, YOU have to pay their legal bills. The "We Can Change the Rules Whenever We Want" Clause (Section 14). Usual Big Tech bullshittery. (LACK OF) Privacy Policy The "We Use Your Real Emails to Test Stuff" Clause (Section: Processing Purposes). These fuckers actually use YOUR personal emails on their testing systems. The "Manual Review" of Private Emails (Section: Private Information: MZLA Access). If they THINK you might violate their ToS or their authoritarian feels, they read everything of yours. The "We Know You Opened This" Trap (Section: Cookies/Tracking) They pixel-tag their emails that you cant bloody turn off. The "Data Retention Black Hole" (Section: Security and Retention) Theres no time limit how long they'll feed your REAL EMAILS in their testing systems, or how long they retain anything. The "Third-Party Data Sharing" Loophole (Section: Sharing) Oooooh, like, uhhh, DATA BROKERS? And who needs a court order? We'll just call it "fraud and abuse". They want to pretend they're an upstart, 'To The Power of the People' or some bullshit. In reality this is yet another Big Tech 'Fuck you I got Mine' terms of service and privacy policy.

The actor Jeffrey Hunter was cast to be the lead of the new Star Trek series in the 1964 pilot. It's not a bad choice. Hunter had a lot of charisma and beauty to spread around, and he certainly had the physique and the enticing appearance of a “complicated man”. Marilyn Monroe said about Hunter: “He has sort of — well, an all-encompassing type of magnetism. And he's a walking advertisement for marriage." #startrek #jeffreyhunter #pilot #tos #leonardnimoy #thecage #marilynmonroe

New Podcast! While we wait for new Star Trek in July, we're looking back to where it all started - the first pilot episode, The Cage. Folks don't talk about The Cage's story, ethics, philosophy, and lessons learned very often these days, but that's our podcast's mission, so we do. Join us! #StarTrek #TheCage #TOS #AllStarTrek @startrek@fedigroups.social https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/startrekacademy/episodes/Episode-186-The-Cage-e3len9u
