another option is to archive/zip the folder,

• then sending/sharing the archive via Kdeconnect

configuration.nix:

  environment.systemPackages = [
    pkgs.libsForQt5.kdeconnect-kde
  ];

hmm

realistically what would happen for those reports is that warnings would be given,

• after that it would mainly depend on the reported user in question

I have a suggestion for addressing the sources of harassment
I’d like to point out a couple of main concerns:

• you might want to [figure out/explain to the public]:
  • how and why adding the CC license would protect your comments/posts from LLM data collection
• when being harassed or intimidated, try not to engage/reciprocate with rage or hate [MadMax_That’s_bait.gif],
  • if you do it’ll make you less trustworthy to outsiders peering in,
    • this I learned painfully from experience
• try to ask questions as it can help you learn truths of every situation,
  • and typically the path to truth can help you figure out solutions to problems

Please do not make personal attacks,

• as they will not help progress your case in adding CC licenses to your post/comments

I mean tbh they’re free to do as they wish as long as they’re abiding by our TOS and guidelines

While adding a CC license on a comment is questionable on the aspect of viability, it doesn’t violate any of our community rules

Please do not gatekeep unless you see justification for the prevention of something

no worries🤗

for the “or later” clause I’m assuming that there is clarification in the license to state that the license must be validated by the GNU organization or states that it must be a later/newer “GNU” based license

• this is my assumption, I would have to reread (once I’m back home) the license to confirm for sure

The main difference between GPL-2.0 and 3.0 (if I remember correctly) is closure/addressing the Tivoization loophole that exists in GPL-2.0

Licensing is still confusing, even after more than a decade.

• totally fair, unless you’re a lawyer or someone with OCD like me, no person would want to spend time reading all of the licensing terms/clauses

that is correct👍

yes deleting files wouldn’t violate GPL-3.0 to the best of my knowledge as those files would still be under the GPL license,

• it’s just that you wouldn’t be using them

if anyone wanted to use a file licensed under any of GPL licenses the user would be required to license any modified or redistibuted files under the same license (“or later”) as to not violate the copyleft terms

them being nice and all is nice however they are causing real problems and stirring drama for troubles that they caused

I don’t really understand the reasoning behind vouching for them when they are currently creating problems and haven’t really tried to solve anything besides creating enough drama to (what it seems to me) try and force themselves back into direct repository access

I kinda of see their past and current actions as ways to maintain a position of power which is quite problematic as they still haven’t addressed a key concern being their conflict of interest from working with Anduril

being nice is good for maintaining good social cohesion and whatnot but stirring shit and creating real problems kinda negates it

I’m personally not convinced

Wow, that’s a great summary, thanks for putting all this effort.

no worries👍
I just happened to see this post and fell down the rabbit hole

Is he having a mental health breakdown? He’s using pretty odd phrasing to basically say he feels unjustly targeted.

I have no idea, can’t really say anything about their mental state as I don’t really know them
What I do know is that I personally wouldn’t want them anywhere near my projects

There’s a couple of contradictions I’ve found that might have caused the suspension:

Lack of Disclosure

• this will come into play again later on #4

1. Should organizations relating to the defense sector being able to sponsor NixOS?

• the inadequate disclosure/lack of transparency of how sponsorships are being handled (which feels similar to the Rust Foundation’s previous blunders)

Incredibly Odd Behavior

2. Jonathan Ringer’s Reddit post

• incorrectly stated their status as a ban rather than a suspension.
  They should clearly know that they’re suspended rather than banned especially since they themselves linked to the GitHub moderation commit which states as such.

3. Jonathan Ringer’s Recent Comment History

> I'm not innocent, but it's hard to stay impartial when you're so invested in a project and community.

• What’s the intent of this statement?

> I don't want to play their "victim/oppressor" narrative, so I'm evil incarnate.  
> It's also to "tone police" the rest of the community from speaking against their actions.  
> Any rational person would want to avoid dealing with that hornets nest.  
> Now I'm irrational and banned! :(

• continued display of erratic irrational behavior.

4. Jonathan Ringer works for Anduril

• which is a direct contradiction to Lack of Disclosure - #1.
• Also I want to say great eye to Lojcs@lemm.ee for spotting that!, as I didn’t notice that critical information the first time I read through the discussions

For clarification: Anduril is an American military company

• there’s a good reason why people don’t want Nix to be sponsored by the military

From what I’ve found so far:

jonringer was suspended for 6 weeks (until 2024-06-10) for repeatedly derailing sensitive discussions and willfully furthering the division in the community

^this suspension seems to make sense as Jonathan Ringer is:

1. Clearly in violation of Conflict of Interest due to their involvement with Lack of Disclosure - #1.
2. Still displaying on Reddit “willfully furthering the division in the community” as mentioned in the moderation commit action

They’ve caused problems in the past and it seems clear they haven’t learned what really caused the suspension in the first place.
Their behavior is unsustainable so I can see the reason for the suspension, although at this point a permaban might be warranted due to the reasons stated above

Edit:
There’s more bewildering comments from Jonathan it seems:

> This seems to be aligned with a similar attempt of mine #114 from 2021.

> The goal has been moved from "these are acceptable behaviors in this CoC" (114) to "these are how these behaviors should be enforced fairly". Which sounds good to me.

> I'll do a more thorough review, but feel confident that I would like to nominate myself as a shepherd.

• [RFC 175] Memorandum on Equitable Moderation #175

As someone who recently wrote a security bulletin on the xz Utility for my class assignment this was another interesting, much less horrifying but still important read than the xz util’s forum discussion which gave me tech existentialism/Y2K and Guilty Gear vibes.

Pretty sure steampunk fans might be a bit upset but I REALLY don’t think humanity is ready to jump on the amish bandwagon

• unless we’re somehow able to discover the Princess Principal equivalent of Cavorite, I think we’ve dodged a couple of bullets

What the fuck???

after searching online I also found this: https://www.postgresql.org/about/news/remembering-simon-riggs-2830/

what the hell

I can’t believe this is true but it seems to be real
god damn this is so sudden

I’m sorry for the loss of a beloved core maintainer for the Postgres community

god the box story
I can’t 😂

again thank you for sharing🌻

this works great🌻
thank you!

Happy women’s day~

although I wasn’t able to help I’m glad you were able to find a solution to your problem🤗

I got you fam: Answering external questions

This seems like a great idea!

Encountering bugs is always frustrating experience especially for beginners

and I also agree with roadrunner_ex as this post is definitely relevant here👍

Although I haven’t fully read this article
feel free to crosspost in:

Programming.dev - Regex

Then you have to ask: what would you replace it with? It does the job it’s designed to do very well. There’s nothing the matter with the protocol, and it’s still fit-for-purpose.

Rust once it’s matured is my guess

Edit: this short comment wasn’t thought out so the downvotes are reasonable, gonna leave this up so I can improve
