If the FSF calls your program malware, is that a sign that you've made it?

@dotstdy @zkat @thephd @karolherbst @cadey imagine using the term "malware" on a blog post about LLMs and it's not referring to the LLM scrapers DDOSing them.

@aud @cadey @karolherbst @thephd @dotstdy oh my god they are aligning their argument with “cryptography is also malware”

Literally their argument is “making my cpu do expensive things in exchange for what I want evil” aka “PBKDF2 and Argon are malware”

I’m screaming

@zkat @aud @cadey @thephd @dotstdy a TLS handshake is also malware, because instead of just giving me the page, the page provider literally forces me to do some pointless math problem.

What double standards of the FSF, they should just ship http and disable https entirely!

@cadey @karolherbst @zkat @aud @thephd @dotstdy They would shit on it lmao, tho seriously given that you should be more careful on this one because I noticed that some Bluesky and Fedi folks would go batshit for things like AI or fingerprinting and telemetry and such, even when the nature of such thing isn't abusive unlike the other implementations and they aren't gonna to check or learn about it. Hell, that's how even the whole VLC local "AI" subtitle debacle thing exists in the first place.
