this is FreeAssembly, a non-toxic design, programming, and art collective. post your share-alike (CC SA, GPL, BSD, or similar) projects here! collaboration is welcome, and mutual education is too.

in brief, this community is the awful.systems answer to Hacker News. read this article for a solid summary of why having a less toxic collaborative community is important from a technical standpoint in addition to a social one.

some posting guidelines apply in addition to the typical awful.systems stuff:

all types of passion projects and contributions are welcome, including and especially those that aren't programming or engineering in nature
this is an explicitly noncommercial, share-alike space
don't force yourself to do work you don't enjoy, or demand it of others

They invited that guy back. I do have to admit, I admire his inability to read a room.

I’ll release my code here for our (very vocally anti-fascist) purposes, but I’ll take steps to make sure it’s poisoned against being integrated into the current form of the Nix ecosystem

I've been trying to background-ponder what measures could work for this sort of thing. classical hindrance methods such as code obfuscation are counterproductive to debugging and dev work, and strongly tying code to its runtime has other problematic implications. licensing alone isn't sufficient because you need the ability to actually do something from those terms (whether lawyers or ...), and doubly so because these fucking awful human beings do not actually care and will tread over any license terms as long as they benefit, and will use power to defend their actions.

oldmanshakesfistatcloud.bmp for trusted computing still being so damn nascent -_-

wish I had more fucking spoons to research this shit properly :|
