    Sigh... Openscience on proprietary platforms.

    Well, at least they got off of Elsevier and WoS, butthere seems to be a lot of work left to be done. Not least how rebuilding a broken system doesn't solve the systemic problems that exist. Moving away from closed source systems is great, no doubt. I just hope it won't lead to the same system being built just with opensource. Instead of being shackled in the dark it might end up being public shackles.

  • Pushover licenses show how much influence big tech companies have over opensource. It's in their interest of promote these licenses.

  • We all have limits. For some communicating with those who tolerate genocide is alright, for others using their software is fine, and for even others they will happily give money to them à la "it's not me, so why should I care?". But if the number of people who don't care is not enough to sustain that software development, it will have an effect. We can wait to see if we get that far or do something about it.

    I'll check out Piefed and Mbin as that seems to be most common answer here.

  • I write opensource software, I donate to opensource, I use opensource. I however can't do everything. That is why the question is "we" not "hey @gerowen@piefed.social why don't you make a fork, you lazy bastard". Code is not the only way to contribute to a project and I'm willing to donate to lemmy alternatives while it is still possible for me.

    Piefed might be where I start donating. Gotta check it out first.

  • OK, let's say somebody who hates you to the core and wants to see you dead made software you found great. All they said was stuff like "I think your kind deserves to be shot", "your kind are subhuman", "they hung your kind and I see nothing wrong with that".

    Would you use their software? Would you enjoy being part of the numbers that they use to validate getting money, maybe even power? Would you publicly promote their software? Would you get others to use it? Would you even donate to them? Would you get others to donate to them?

  • OK, thanks. I guess I'll be migrating to those and setting up a donation - if they don't use Github sponsors.

  • Usually it is as this point things turn to shit in opensource/community/fediverse/cooperative. The devs are not the product.

    What does this even mean? Who creates something doesn't matter at all? If that's the case, then using Microshaft products doesn't matter, does it? They can provide the infra and software for bombing Gaza but who cares right? They make software that is worth using so we should keep giving them money. No problem.

  • Oh no, I bet you there's a fair few who think rust is woke and deeply connecting with programming socks --> it should be cancelled.

    IMO it's also an ideological fit for the current right wingers who connect Rust to progress and use progress as an insult. Since they can't fight Rust on its merits, they have to make up whatever argument they can that fits their narrative.
