A "content" tag claims "A full list of dead products killed by Microsoft in the Microsoft Cemetery" but all I see is metadata and a javascript tag. Where is the content? <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang=&q

No. Spammers will create repos and user profiles and snippets and anything they can with spam in them.

That is not the core of the problem. Spammers are humans, and sometimes they will solve recaptchas in large quantities to get their spam through. Its about having a multipronged approach for administrators to stay ahead of them. For some ex

invent.kde.org uses the nonfree google Recaptcha, that prevents it mostly. Not very nice for KDE to make people run nonfree software blob in their browser that gives up their freedom, gives up their privacy to google and trains Google'

There's been a gitlab bug for almost 3 years to stop relying on recaptcha, https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/45684 Debian, KDE and Gnome have never wanted to make their users run Go

AGPLv3 is exactly the same as GPLv3 except that it adds 1 paragraph. That paragraph has nothing to do with corresponding source or what a derivative is. Google ships distros with Gplv3 to customers GCP, so Borg and GCP stuff would be equall

Corresponding source has the exact same definition in GPLv3 and almost exactly the same in GPLv2, so all this "its completely untested" thing is completely disingenuous. Google uses Borg to control gplv3 code that they also distri

I went to a high school in Cali that was converted to a charter school. As far as I could tell, the main change was that they kicked out all the kids with poor grades or other problems. That is the polar opposite of "choice", it w

Table of like 30 videoconf programs but misses Big Blue Button, the best free software one I've used. And it doesn't mention the license of any of the programs.

But the source code of many important parts of android are nonfree, so google can update it to send your cleartext password and you would never know.

Top comment "This is pretty unhelpful", ya, requiring running nonfree javascript to learn about security anti-patterns is an antipattren. Fuck corn, fuck bread.

The point about what is in the right spirit is important to discuss, however, there's also a lot wrong in this article. The thing that bugs me the most is misrepresenting FSF. 1. Attributes this https://fsfe.org/news&#x
