chatter.quux.world is one of the many independent Mastodon servers you can use to participate in the fediverse.
Quux World was almost an invitation-only foocamp/barcamp thunk up in 2019. We still have the online infrastructure we started building, including this Fediverse node.

Nothing will destroy Open Source quicker than treating all the devs who work on open source software as suppliers in a supply chain.

@ramsey I kindly request that any corporations building upon my work puts developer-hours into at least proofreading it! I develop my software opensource specifically so you can do that, so please follow through!

Also I'd ask corporations to pass on the software freedom I granted them forward to their users, but that's another matter...

@alcinnz I understand the desire to make their contributions copyleft. Unfortunately, a lot of organizations have policies against the use of copylefted software, so even if they don’t directly use your library, because of the dependency chain, they might not be able to use other libraries that depend on your library. As the developer, you have to consider your goals and these trade-offs.

The older I get, the more appealing the GPL becomes to me.

@ramsey @alcinnz I'm inclined to encourage that appeal to the GPL. Then the companies with a clue will outcompete the ones who hold onto that fear.
