"TNPD" doesn't roll off the tongue as well as "TACO", but I'll take it.

Is there consensus on who would be best to migrate your "things" to? Maybe what do folks think of Printables?

I do more publishing than downloading. And I'm interested in one that's in the spirit of FOSS. Friendly to permissive licenses. (Unfriendly to more proprietary licenses is a big plus IMO. I'm a fan of attribution and copyleft requirements. Noncommercial limitations, I'm relatively indifferent to.) Not enshittified and not likely to enshittify any time soon.

What was the part that didn't fit?

It does appear that Ladybird has a grant from FUTO. (At least if their website can be trusted. They have a history of boosting their own image by implying relationships with projects/organizations/etc without the other organization knowing anything about it. But I think (probably?) the "Grants" section is more reliable than the "Microgrants" section on that score.)

But Tor and Signal and MicroG and Creative Commons have similarly received grants from FUTO and I wouldn't think of them as projects that FUTO has undue influence on. (I'm pretty certain most of them preexisted FUTO, for one thing. Could be wrong on some of them. But I'm pretty certain none of those were "built by" FUTO the way, say, Grayjay was.)

But I'm still nervous about it. This might just be FUTO trying to bolster its own image by making it seem like they're more responsible for Ladybird than they really are. (Mind you, I haven't even watched the video because, like you, I think FUTO's all absolute shitbags that I don't want anything to do with.) But this post seem to be implying FUTO is more involved with Ladybird than I'd hope, if of course it can be trusted.

Just how associated with Ladybird is FUTO?

'Scuse me while I go pirate 1,000,000 copies of "The Return" by Seb McKinnon.

Jesus. I guess we're going to have to start figuring out how to reverse engineer our keyboards so we can install QMK on random built-in laptop keyboards and cheap Logitech membrane keyboards to repair the damage Microsoft has done to them.

I might add health concerns to that list along with cost and taste. Allergens and sodium content, for instance. Also a concern about being "highly processed".

Not that that's not an issue with animal-based foods. But Impossible is still "new and different" and if Impossible turned out to be terrible for you, it wouldn't be the first time something new and different (even something new and different that was touted by some as being better for you) resulted in a public health crisis. (I'm referring to trans fats in particular here.)

The kind who spends more time compiling than using my system.

Well, you can look at the description of the video where it says among other things "I use some form of AI application to make all my videos and have for the last 3 years".

As others have mentioned, the video you posted is (largely/mostly?) AI-generated content. And I think a fair amount of Lemmy users (like myself) are pretty rabidly disdainful of anything AI-generated and will object to anything AI-generated that's posted. (Rightfully so IMO.)

Not sure I see the point of impeaching Noem when Trump is right there.

Wait, where's Gentoo?

The mind of man is holy.

This sounds like a fun project, and perhaps quite innovative! I’m excited by it and I hope it goes well!

Thanks! I'm kindof on a weird personal quest to make as many DSLs for accomplishing traditionally GUI-based, point-and-click-adventure sort of use cases as possible. Here is my previous (slightly-less-ambitious) installment in that quest.

If I were in your shoes, I’d probably choose the AGPL. It sounds to me like your library is quite innovative, and might contain some useful features that don’t exist in other similar projects?

Yeah, I'm leaning pretty strongly toward AGPL at this point. I was already leaning that way before making my post, and both aurtzy's post (and more-so the article they linked to) and your post have clinched it. That "codecomic" thing I linked to earlier, I originally published under GPL, but just now switched it to AGPL. While I hold the copyright on the whole thing is probably the best time to do that. Heh. (Well, second-best, right after "before I published it" would have been, but at least if I change it now, I can ensure that only the very first version doesn't have the whole Affero-specific provision.)

There is no definitive answer, since the license depends on the copyright system itself for the definition of a derived work.

That's all fascinating. In my case, I'm writing it in Go which I believe, by default, statically links against libraries and includes other Go code on a source basis rather than via linking. But Go does have a way to do runtime-loadable code. ("Plugins" if you will.) That plugin system is only kindof half-supported, though. (It's not supported at all on Windows in recent days.)

Anyway, a ramble of my own, but I guess it informs a bit under exactly which theories others' code could end up being derivative and under which theories others' code wouldn't be derivative.

The more leverage you have (features, quality, more mindshare etc.), the more you can use that to push for copyleft.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there's nothing out there much like what I'm working on. So I guess the whole "if it does something unlike what anything else out there does", definitely applies. Once it's published and the idea that there could exist a DSL for making things like game assets is out there, someone else could implement a different design/implementation of the same basic vision from scratch (even learning a bit from the trail I'm blazing) just to avoid having any copyleft-ish sort of obligations, but of course that's an investment that companies have declined to undertake many times, opting instead to just blatantly violate the GPL. (Look at the Vizio suit, for instance.) So that's probably a pretty solid argument for just going AGPL rather than going for anything like LGPL or anything.

Quality: I guess remains to be seen. Lol. Mindshare: well, that rounds to zero at the moment, but a couple of folks have expressed interest.

I do expect I'll be publishing something soon -- probably in the next couple of months. Definitely an "alpha" sort of thing with much room for improvement, but I'll probably publish it once it reaches a point of being minimally-able-to-provide-some-utility while being something I'm ok with having my name/reputation connected to.

Anyway! Great stuff. Thanks for your answer. It definitely helped!
