And these "rich and powerful" are using Codeberg projects for that? Not, say, LGBTQ+ people living in sanctioned countries who use cryptocurrency to buy HRT?
Cryptocurrencies are generally open protocols, usable by anyone. Both the rich and powerful and the poor and powerless. Much like open source in general. I'm sure Donald Trump and family make use of other open source projects in their various endeavours, should those be banned too?
Yeah, only "cryptobros" could be upset about an open source hosting site deciding to officially ban "anything they think makes them look bad", and using an entire field of software development as an example apparently based on the popular misconception that it's a scam. This certainly isn't a sign that any other projects could abruptly find themselves on the wrong side of someone's opinion of whether they're "bad" someday.
You pruned off the last part of the sentence in what you quoted: "which makes it seem like cryptocurrency is inherently scammy." Adds a bit of important context.
The interpretation that cryptocurrency projects are "harmful" is based on a popular position that misunderstands the nature of cryptocurrency and its full range of uses.
Your obsession with stalking me keeps leading you to pouncing on comments with an "aha! Got him!" That leads you to misinterpret them in the worst possible light. Which is quite ironic given the situation this thread is actually about.
That's not correct, and you should know better than to claim this.
This is my first exposure to Codeberg's terms of service, why would you think I know more than what I'm seeing here and in the linked pages? I haven't used them before (and almost certainly won't now).
The text you quoted from my earlier comment has nothing to do with any of this, either. I'm not sure why you think it means anything in this context.
AI is wildly popular.
Wow. I'd ask whether you've ever been in any threads on this community about LLMs, but of course I've come to recognize your particular username fairly well at this point.
An issue has been created asking for clarification.
Yeah, IMO this is not a good look for Codeberg. They banned a very broad category of project based on popular negative sentiment without apparently understanding what that category actually was like.
Sounds like they're willing to ban anything "unpopular." Not a good sign for serious development.
It's still rather poorly worded, though. The ban is: "Content that harms the reputation of Codeberg, such as cryptocurrency related projects" which makes it seem like cryptocurrency is inherently scammy.
No, thanks to the people who elected Trump. This isn't going away when Trump dies.
The speech didn't land, so he's trying to forget about it and go on to the next distraction.
Also, is he continuing to glue more gold crap to the wall behind him?
“We’ve been clear about what we want,” said Cloudflare chief strategy officer Stephanie Cohen. “We want a technical solution that allows you to be discoverable without having to give your content away for free.”
Sounds like they want DRM,
Trump has this utterly fundamental belief that you're either a "winner" or a "loser." The moment you give something they want, that makes them the winner and therefore you are the loser. He doesn't care about the numbers, he just cares about whether he's winning.
Pretty sure they're not users of Codeberg, and likely weren't the ones who voted for this TOS change.
Well, maybe Microsoft did, given it makes Github look more appealing by comparison.
