If the FSF calls your program malware, is that a sign that you've made it?
@cadey wait.... seriously?
@cadey oh shit.. I found it.. wild 🙃
@karolherbst @cadey link me, I need a good laugh
@thephd @karolherbst @cadey I also wish to see
Our small team vs millions of bots — Free Software Foundation — Working together for free software

@dotstdy @zkat @karolherbst @cadey kudos to their small team but I was just talking about this the other day. crazy they pop out an article a few days later that shows how viciously they double-down on poor choices out of fear and purity that has no material or tangible aid to the real world, or even for their own damn workers who should be playing defense against the real threat actors and not the LLM bots.
@thephd @dotstdy @zkat @karolherbst @cadey ffs, I've gotten into this debate with FSF-zealots before, about browser-based PoW specifically. The argument ended up devolving into "javascript is fundamentally malware because you don't get to choose what code is being executed" countered with "how is HTML and CSS any different? you can do arbitrary calculations with CSS as well"
I feel bad for anybody that deeply embedded into "software purity" ideology that they think it's more freeing to browse the net without stylesheets
@astraleureka @thephd @zkat @cadey @dotstdy @karolherbst it's nice to not depend on JavaScript but like. LLM abuse is so hard to deal with that I really can't blame people for using a solution like that. The FSF as usual missing the point and blaming the small resourced side (users/admins) for the problems created by the big resourced side (LLMs)
@karolherbst @zkat @thephd @cadey @dotstdy @astraleureka that's good and all but it's still somewhat sad to lose being able to do low rate curls. That being said it's better than nothing
