The dilemma of recreation. After a few days of not touching any of my work I feel the urge to start doing things again. A part of me wants to capitalize on this boost of motivation, while another feels like I’m cheating myself out of the rest.

Ugh, I miss being younger when the energy was infinite.

No more physical games media in 1.5 years, eh?

15 years ago I was ordering physical disks for my 360 by mail from game.co.uk (I was not in the UK) just so I could have an international version of the games I wanted. Literally impossible in the digital age.

Why does the copyright on Google Maps say that imagery is from 2026 when it's not even from this decade sometimes? Does it mean that Maxar provides them old pictures anew, so the copyright year is just the last data fetch?

@nprofile1q... Yes, it was posted in a discussion that followed, on Bluesky, by one of the Foundation members.

I do crave for simplicity myself. I don’t think it needs to be so messy. But I feel it will always be messy with this project. So I’m not holding my breath anymore.

I wanna sub-post and push back against this so much. No law or policy is truly enforceable. The MIT license isn't truly enforceable. What you do is you codify your morals and then enforce that to the...

And crucially, it empowers people! Our current peers who suffer from the industry we're in. Our future peers who currently lose hope before even starting on the path.

Goddammit, it WOULD make a lot of things better to have a moral backbone! And not just cold, noncommittal policies that give you leeway.

No law or policy is truly enforceable. The MIT license isn't truly enforceable. What you do is you codify your morals and then enforce that to the best of your ability. Mistakes will happen, you'll fix, improve, apologize.

In practice, this might be true, none of it might be better because of a "moral policy" — when you only view the end result.

But it sends the message. It reveals the intent. It puts your heart on your sleeve.

Not that I believe this to be a good thing (tm). I believe the lever remains shame. Now, the sh...

And, well, there is this aftertaste of trying to be as apolitical as possible, focusing only on the angle of protecting maintainers and nothing else. To be clear, that's a valid angle, but far from the only angle to view AI-assisted contributions from.

So overall: eh.

On the subject of The Discourse, it does seem like a very minor change to wording around the same principles as before. I don't think that any of the already merged PRs would've been rejected under these changes either, which makes the whole thing moot.

Would love to see that introspection though.
