These drastic draconian measures seem destined to fuck up FLOSS and humanity. They got what they wanted from us and will now dispose of humans (ie. Google Android was FLOSS until they proprietaryized it) now that they have A.I. Absolutely no one is pushing for minimizing or reducing tech bloat, corporate power, governments, or the technocracy. If not for the climate, at least for efficiency and security - but ZZZtheyZZZ thrive off chaos.
Isn't it FOSS? There is a reason why I don't contribute to FOSS. It all gets used by companies and now you are just working for some corporation that's going to be able to leverage your code better than you can, for free. And now not only do you end up coding for them for free, you get bossed around by HR as they try to manage you and your contribution.
This is why every project that starts a "foundation" is making a mistake. I know it can feel like an organization or a team taking a next step and getting organized. The problem is it's a step in the wrong direction. Not all organization is positive organization. If it turns your non-paying job into a job (but still not paying) and hands you a bunch of rules to follow it's not a win.
In the very middle of FLOSS is OS. Open-source. I broke the Wikipedia one day by compelling a change and revision of all things open-source - - - on Wikipedia. Maybe I should recollect and write a post about it. September 2018, right before I joined SaidIt.
That's what they're fucking up. It's not open if you're banning participation for compelled legal or "moral" reasons.
I'm not against Open or Copyleft at all. In fact I encourage it. But I know there are exploitative and malicious forces in the world. In short, "be the change you wish to see" is the ideal to strive for, but fuckers gonna fuck.
In the year of 2024 I swallowed a big Black Pill: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle Sad but true. Half of everyone is stupider than average, and on the Bell curve, most of the rest are close to average. And the outliers are only experts in few fields. So, in short, humanity is fucked - and thus, as much as I despise saying it, need "leaders".
"Foundations" need better foundations - that clearly include FOEPATCHISM. https://projex.wiki/wiki/FOEPATCHISM (which needs deeper definitions for each element).
Free as in no price plus the liberty to use it as you like, modify it, share it, etc.
F/L is a distinction that should be made clear IMO, and in the opinion of many.
Free beer is not the same as free from jail.
" The free software movement and the open-source software movement are online social movements behind widespread production, adoption and promotion of FOSS, with the former preferring to use the terms FLOSS, free or libre. " ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_software
It's kind of annoying folks don't better represent the liberty aspect, but I suppose I'm just as guilty for always saying "Linux" instead of "Gnu-Linux".

I'm confused. Did the other person complain were the minders just upset that they weren't involved in two people coming to terms with each other.
If I'm picking up what Lunduke is putting down, many folks are getting banned for capricious trivial hypocritical "reasons" and is forcing several FLOSS communities to hard fork from the West/Woke with financial support to the rest of the rational free/libré world without corporatocracy funding.

Right. Free Open Source Software. FOSS. What does the L in FLOSS stand for?
In FLOSS and sometimes F/LOSS it stands for Libré.
Free as in no price plus the liberty to use it as you like, modify it, share it, etc.
F/L is a distinction that should be made clear IMO, and in the opinion of many.
