I am testing out twtxt!

@prologic Can you document the API side of things a bit on dev.twtxt.net? Is there a URL I can enter into my browser to see my feed on twtxt.net the way another client would see it?

@prologic @antonio (#xv2o3ua) I guess the concern is: If you don't at least mirror the code to GitHub, discoverability of your code will suffer. But if you do mirror your code to GitHub, they potentially will ingest it into future AI training sets. Not sure there's a good way to have your cake and eat it too, apart from someone finally passing legislation that regulates how big companies (ab)use AI on other people's data.

(#dfq3t3q) @prologic Wow, this has come a long way since last time I logged in!

(#suv25xa) @prologic I have survived The Purge!

(#suv25xa) Though considering that the service isn't even named the same as last time I logged into it, that I recall, and I had three previous posts tops, I would not have been shocked if my login did not work.

(#suv25xa) @prologic It's very possible. I had to have you fix my password reset once before, too.

(#jkgumvq) @prologic Here's the thing I've seen from the wonders of doing IT support for people, and hence seeing things like where they browse news and what emails they get: People are fed a completely distorted view of reality. And if you're seeing that constant stream of awful, and someone says "but you can do your part to save us for $x"... a lot of otherwise very rational people will do it without a second thought.

(#zaoprhq) @prologic I respectfully disagree. Software is offered or sold on terms, and if corporations aren't giving back, that's because they don't have to: Most people with money have it because they don't part with it when they don't have to. If we want healthy open source, we have to set terms for open source that establish healthy relationships with corporate users.

(#zaoprhq) I would agree with the original claim, that open source is broken, because we've let small groups of people (OSI and FSF) hold very arbitrary and restrictive rules that prohibit fixing the issue. The SSPL and similar solutions exist, but we refuse to embrace them because of these gatekeepers to the official definitions of FOSS.
