I asked Jerry about everything. Here is the interview:

I asked Jerry Questions and here is an interview: https://blenderdumbass.org/articles/clarifying_costs_of_running_the_fediverse_with_jerry_from_infosec.exchange

I think he mentioned he run 3 96-core servers for that instance to be running. Or something.

try spoofing a user-agent or torifying it maybe

Seems like somebody mentioned the account on the fediverse that started a chain reaction of various instances requesting a bunch of stuff. Which made it to Mastodon.social too. It still doesn’t work though.

The server is written in python and the idea is to make it deploy-able without needing to install anything extra. So I’m trying to implement my own activity pub.

This is a a subscription though.

Funny, I chose UPBGE for 4 reasons, non of which effect depsgraph much:

1. EEVEE
2. I know how to use Blender
3. The GPL License ( because I want my game to be GPL’d too )
4. I know how to use Python

So I never felt like I’m missing out on Geonodes or whatever. And depsgraph was only an interesting challenge to tackle.

Not all those who handle data obey laws. Data leaks happen.

but wait a second. Privacy is good because it is a Freedom. And because it make Freedom as a whole more possible. But using software with which you have no freedom, kind of defeats the purpose. Like you gain +1 freedom points and lose -1 freedom points. It’s net zero.

Transparency is good to see privacy, but if it is not Libre, you are not gaining any freedom.

I just woke up, I don’t know if I am making any sense

But GreyJay isn’t libre.

I use https://freetubeapp.io/

The servers are a bit unstable. Usually a few minutes of waiting revives it.

There isn’t anything particularly wrong with copying though. And copying isn’t stealing.

The idea here, is that it is not a huge inconvenience for them to push just a little bit to become Free Software.

Richard Stallman very likes recursions. This is why GNU ( something he named ) is a recursive acronym. And GPL ( something he came up with ) is a recursive license.

I think copyleft was just something too clever not to try for Richard Stallman. But yeah, corporation are doing anything they can to get around it.

If they don’t want to talk to me. Then it’s fine. I wont talk to them either. I would work in a supermarket. They don’t want me to sign nothing at all. And I can do my software on my own.

My view on this all is something like this:

• Users should have their freedoms to use, change, share the program. Even if they are doing it for profit. Even if those users are corporations.
• Copyleft is useful to make it so when those who share, share, their versions of the same program is also Libre. It is not about protecting the developer. It is to insure the user still has the freedom.
• One is not required to share. So if I make a version of the program that works for me, I am under no obligation to give anyone a copy of it. ( But under copyleft, if I do, I need this copy to be libre )

So I can withhold giving away my copy until I get paid. Basically I don’t even release anything until I get what I want from the deal. And I can do that for every change I make. But as soon as I make what I wan and release it, everything is libre from the beginning.

I can use screenshots or videos to prove that I have a working piece of software. And tease what are the changes I made.

The question now is, can there be a platform to streamline this process?

legally binding non-disclosure agreements

I don’t sign those.

to help open source projects like gnu or copy-left licenses

Copyleft was not designed to protect the developer from corporations. It was designed to protect users from developers.
