It always kinda scares me when I read certain comments. They’re not numerous, but I see more of them each year. They say things like « the woke EU », or the « EUssr », or « socialist EU ».
They’re generally there when I talk about the EU regulating big tech, or fighting abuses of dominant position, and I just don’t understand how anyone can link that kind of activity to being « woke » whatever that means today, or being « socialist » (which in these people’s minds probably means « commie »).
At a time where we should have more compassion, a serious re-evaluation of our priorities, our way of life, of consumption, it’s disheartening.
And especially in the Linux community where helping others and sharing is at the very core of everything: how do you reconcile « no one should have « handouts » (except tax cuts for companies apparently) with « let’s share knowledge openly and develop things for others to use freely »?
@thelinuxEXP @Alkaris Well the EU is good about corporate invasions of privacy but they *love* state invasions of privacy, unfortunately.
The tide seems to be turning on that a bit.
@thelinuxEXP for anyone unfamiliar (since this might be seen by people well outside the NixOS community):
@thelinuxEXP do you think a license which requires reciprocity makes any sense?
Example modified start of the MIT license:
> Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any non-racist person [...]
Not sure what wording to use so I picked racism as an example / proof of concept. The term should be very basic such that everyone who isn't evil will agree with it. Assuming such a word can be found, would this make sense to add? Similar to the licenses requiring reciprocity in sharing back
