Any pronoun is fine. Writer, programmer, musician, reverse engineer, electrical engineer, hobbyist sysadmin, gamer, and adventurous with foods.

Gotcha. Makes more sense that how I first interpreted it, as a Shell script (and now all I can think of is the South Park BP guy going "We're sorry")

This isn't your normal "looking for work" post.

I've decided to shut my business and do more volunteer / community work.

If you know of an organisation which could use a board member with strong digital skills, extensive experience in open source and open standards, or cybersecurity please let me know.

Nothing full time. Personal recommendations preferred. Feel free to share.

whenever someone asks me "when are you free" a little voice in my head says ᴍʏ ʟɪʙᴇʀᴀᴛɪᴏɴ ɪs ɪɴᴛᴇʀᴛᴡɪɴᴇᴅ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪʙᴇʀᴀᴛɪᴏɴ ᴏғ ᴀʟʟ ᴏᴘᴘʀᴇssᴇᴅ ᴘᴇᴏᴘʟᴇ

Is that a fossil fuel industry pun, and/or a statement about the vibe coding?

I've been on Gentoo for a few years now, but with how many core libraries seem to be openly embracing LLM assisted commits, I've been thinking about checking out the BSDs

Ah, right. I knew there was something I'd been meaning to read now that I've finished the Myst reader. I get to catch up!

"Hear my battle cry
Hear that mighty sound
They've come before, and many more
Will try to strike me down

Hear my battle cry
Hear that mighty roar
And if you make it out alive
The devil will be waiting at your door" - Shayfer James, Battle Cry

I appreciate the explanation of the problem. It's quite enlightening. Is there anything actionable I can do as non-moderator that happens to be on the Fediverse? Presumably raising awareness helps, but is there anything else I should be doing?

Huh. Somehow I never expected a self-inflicted version of the old Day the Earth Stood Still.

By the same token, I could release an episode of Expedition Sasquatch that is all rights reserved, or an ES novel that is all rights reserved without violating the license on the CC-BY-SA episodes, because I am the original author.

But I probably won't, because that's not my goal.

My goal is to provide a platform upon which other creatives can produce new material without enriching a distant billionaire.

I would love for someone to make a lot of money on the back of one of my creative projects, even if I personally don't.

Because, if someone else makes money from something I couldn't, while actively allowing full remixing and free re-distribution of their creative work *and* linking back to the thing I produced that they remixed, that means they've brought something to the table that I couldn't bring, and they've earned that money.

That's great. The fact that I got to play a role in that is great. And the fact that, so long as they continue to be successful, more people will continue to find the thing I produced that inspired them, is great.
