WeTransfer changed its terms to allow using your files to train AI. After users protested, they softened the language. But the rights they claim are still broad.

At @xwiki we believe privacy should be built in, not patched after backlash. Your content should stay yours.

Open tools like @CryptPad , @nextcloud and OnionShare put you in control.

You might want to reconsider your use of Anaconda / Conda. Updated terms of service are unclear about what is and isn't allowed under their free tier, with potential of contamination of "off limits" packages due to dependency resolution (using environment files).

fail2ban has one core maintainer github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban and he has only 3 Github sponsors github.com/sebres

WTF

I can't even comprehend how many servers are protected by fail2ban, how many compromises are avoided, how many people who run hobby things all the way up to major sites that get to sleep soundly every night... because of this single project.

I guess people hating #Wayland are the same folks that hate #SystemD or even #PipeWire whilst refusing to #DoBetter themselves:

#Toxic #Neighsayers that refuse to acknowledge that #Xorg, #SystemVinit and #ALSA / #OSS are bad.

Instead they create redundant work that noone cares and that only.pulls resources from improving mainlike #Linux.

Or does anyone use #Devuan in any busoness-critical applicationm?

"The number of people from Latin America in leadership positions is miniscule, especially compared to the userbase. I'm going to spend my sabbatical time to build capacity and work on problems that are relevant to Latin America. If #UNESCO wants to provide resources for that - I'd be happy to talk!" - @fperez
