I understand the need for full detailed reasoning, but that legalese document is not approachable or accessible.

I wish they had at least given a plain language summary of the changes they intend to make. For full reasoning you could still refer to the whole document.

I guess I'll trust the EFF in their interpretation.


Numerous invalid patents have been granted in the past, and had to be challenged to be corrected.
These suggested changes are horrendous for a just or sustainable patent system.
There may be opportunities for change or efficiency gains, but blocking and evading challenges in various ways is not a good approach. It excessively favors patent trolls which act maliciously and damaging to other companies, the economy and society at large.

Funny how three comments that follow, by other people, do not get such a comment by the bot.

It also seems like the comment addresses a commenter, not the PR creator, so saying "you may resubmit after fixing" makes no sense. Post the comment again?

A bit too broad to give a specific answer from my side.

Overall, I prefer web based over apps, because I can CSS hack and if necessary JS hack them.

Web also means it doesn't litter my PC or mobile phone or tablet. And that it can't fetch more data than it needs or I want it to have access to.

Bad software is bad software, no matter if it's installed or on the web.

I consider python a scripting language too.

Your broad claim and what is actually being banned on instances makes it seem you want to include questionable if not destructive opinions.

Can you be more concrete? What are you missing, and where?

What banned content that couldn't find a home on another instance do you want to see?

Do you think opinions should be shareable in any form, or only in respectful form?

Being able to build the app as you are trying to do here is an issue we plan to resolve and is merely a bug.

Is your suggestion that people should? Isn't Rust the more realistic, effective solution because it forces people to do better? Evidently, "correct memory safety in C/C++" didn't work out.

Formatted, so I can read it

I hadn’t even really heard of Codeberg at the time.

Codeberg didn't exist back then yet.

German-based SUSE just extended long-term support for Linux Enterprise 15 until July 2037. […] 13 years from now […] that’s […] 19 years after 2018, which is when Linux Enterprise 15 was first released.

pretty good

Gitlab will most likely use it as a big selling point once all the work has been done by externals with little to no cost to Gitlab.

I don't think so. It'd/'ll be a nice feature, and be listed as such. But it's not one of their primary selling points or marketing targets. Federation will be niche. Most useful in the FOSS space that pays little anyway.

Yes, the GPL allows you to make modifications. The GPL still applies.

The cloned repository still holds the history and deleted files. The files that are still there retain the GPL. If you make additions to the GPL sources, the GPL applies to those too. (Copyleft license.)

You can check the summary of GPL on ChooseALicense to understand your rights and conditions a bit better.
