Vuetify is web component framework for Vue and just like #Vue it is independent (so there is no large organisation that pays for most of it). We (@intevation) use #Vuetify in a number of products and thus pay for it voluntarily. It is #FreeSoftware.

If you and others would pay a small amount, too. They can compensate more contributors and develop faster: https://github.com/vuetifyjs/vuetify/releases/tag/v4.0.4 :)

Dylan "I read the law and I'm here to implement it" M. Tylor gets up in the morning and decides to write age verification code that he himself calls "hilariously pointless and ineffective", within a week strikes 4 repos off his list, and i bet the Linux Kernel is going to be next (I'm joking... mostly)

It's worth noting that the first people who approved the PR on systemd repo are 2 big tech employees - Mircoslop and Redhat/IBM (why I'm i not surprised!!), someone then opened a revert PR, Lennart Poettering (systemd creator) closed it.. thus blocking the removal

And this is why you now have Liberated Systemd, a fork of systemd without Age verification.. which IS 'hilariously pointless and ineffective' at saving children

when engineers starts reading the law like a specification, this is what you get.. useful idiots.

My life is a lie. 🤕😰

It explains because they don't want "not open-source licenses" (because these licenses protect the creators of abuse). Use Polyform Licenses and share it, please.

This is a very interesting read for people caring for the real world consequences that #ai coding tools have on #freesoftware projects today. Because of curls presence on the Fediverse, I was aware of this side. It was only a few days ago that I noticed claude being actively included in the review stage in systemd, but did not have the time to form an opinion on this just yet. The article gives a good background info on that, which helped me put things into context.

Thanks @sjvn !

With FOSS licenses, when you build a hammer you have to allow them to use it to smash your head in, and if you get angry about it they even tell you that you're not a good community citizen.

Con licencias FOSS, cuando fabricas un martillo tienes que permitir que lo usen para partirte la cabeza, y si te enojas por eso encima te dicen que no eres un buen ciudadano comunitario.
