Curious to know what this email conversation looks like. 🍿
Codeberg exists. But no people still have to just flock to corporate bullshit and then be surprised when they pull a corporate bullshit.
Codeberg is great, but it is hosted in Germany, and subject to their laws. AFAIK, Germany has laws against tools for "circumventing copy protection", or "hacking".
So I am not sure that they can provide a save haven for tools, where some lawyer could argue these points successfully in front of a court.
Also has the highest rate of website take-downs/bans. To be fair: mostly revenge “naked pictures of my ex” websites. But yeah. Piracy + Germany = not good. You’d rather turn to the Netherlands for that.
ActivityPub is amazing for censorship because anything that gets posted to one instance gets immediately archived thousands of times over.
The project is now being made available via a repo on cdm-project.com but how long that’s likely to last is unclear.
I've mirrored it to my own git server too https://git.ngram.ca/mirrors/cdrm-project I will ignore DCMAs because I (and the server) don't live in the USA.
Canada might start ignoring DMCA as a whole if the idiots in my government keep harassing them. Maybe that'll piss off Hollywood and friends in a useful way...
(Just ignore me laugh weeping at the prospect that billionaires stabbing each other in the back is the only thing I can look forward to in my country now)

Bad pattern.
The moment when GitHub was bought by M$, the risk of such behavior started.
There needs to be a widespread p2p solution for opensource projects before its too late. I have lost count of all the amazing stuff that has been gravity bombed from orbit.
There also needs to be a way for authors to submit things anonymously too and maybe sign their things with cryptographic keys to ID it. How many times has a company had a court order someone to cease and desist or simply acquire somebody's work?
p2p solution for opensource projects
That's called Git and it's been around longer than GitHub. There is also Usenet which by now is mostly dead. People fell for centralized alternatives. Oops :)
Right? Git is literally decentralized. If you choose to use GitHub as a centralized Git service, that's on you.
(I will caveat this by saying we moved 2009scape off GitHub and the number of new contributors probably got cut in half. Mainstream services have a lot more eyes)
2009scape is wonderful for those like me who need to scratch that RuneScape itch without a subscription. The fact I can play it off of a USB is testament to itself how incredibly awesome you guys are. Thank you for the project, sincerely. :')

Git is, but it has no process of discovery or hosting by itself. Those are needed to efficiently share open source software to large numbers of people.
You'd think Usenet is dead.
It's not.
Oh boy it's not! But mainly for binaries
git is clearly not p2p in the needed level or else we wouldn't have faced this problem
It's not always takedowns either, just the developer deciding to nuke their own repos. Real annoying, although it's making me more vigilant about forking/mirroring important repos.
I2p has a git service
Widevine, BTW, is a Google product that all the browser vendors agree to use. Its the only reason HTML5 has gotten anywhere.
Its crazy that we can't agree on any international rules except the ones that protect IP hoarding
This just implies that the Microsoft employee was an OnlyFans subscriber simp.
Ngl if you pirate indie porn you are scum. Most people who make it aren't well off.
not everyone that downloads content isn’t paying for it… they might just want it in a place or format that isn’t being provided
Is this a pirating tool or a tool for downloading local copies of what you did pay for? I know Fansly has weird settings where you lose access to stuff you paid for if you change your tier or need to lapse your membership for a bit. I stopped paying anyone when the archiving tool I used stopped working.
Like Katy Perry???
Don't be a bell end
