Hello @conservancy - been spending a bit of time in the WordPress (GPLv2+) plugin/theme ecosystem & am amazed how most have "pro/premium licenses" (they use that term) on their code *in addition to the required GPL license*. They're all 'open core' rather than FOSS, from what I can see, contravening the GPL with an additional license. Is this something you're already aware of? Am I right that its a widespread contravention of the GPL? If so, is anything being done to redress it?

The migration to @gitea from gitlab was one of the best decisions! Using push syncs I can also keep all my public repositories at gitlab up to date while using gitea as single source of truth. The teams feature is really helpful too! And the UI is so fast and snappy! Thanks #gitea

This is coolish...

But it troubles me that the Venture Capitalist site promoting this is Squarespace... Shows the inherent disconnect between people doing things for the right reason, and the people who, for their own self-interest, enable them to do so, diluting the ethics, and tending towards apologist open-washing.

I'm increasingly of the view that large publicly listed corporations (usually how VCs made their C) are incompatible with good ethics.

My current fandom: laughing at the pratfalls, mishaps, and elegant catastrophes in The Goes Wrong Show, a farcical British show whose first season is streaming free in the US. https://harihareswara.net/posts/2022/the-goes-wrong-show/

This summer, IGD turned 7! As things heat up again on the streets - we're more excited than ever to continue to be an engaging autonomous media platform. We're also in a crisis + need to raise $2k by the end of the month to continue. Help us meet our goal! https://itsgoingdown.org/igd-turns-7-call-for-support/

"Far from reducing extreme poverty, the expansion of capitalism was associated with a dramatic deterioration in human welfare."

Once you realize that GDP can rise at the same time as deteriorating access to essential goods because commons-based and household production isn't as legible to econometrics as being forced to buy essential goods you used to be able to provide for yourself from a corporation is, this shouldn't be surprising at all.

Good morning. I woke up and remeberethat the only viable choice remaining to us is violence.

Prepare accordingly ✊

"There will very likely be some softening of labor market conditions," Powell said on Wednesday. "We will keep at it until we are confident the job is done."

It's so reassuring to know that the people responsible for managing our national economy are hard at working making sure more people become unemployed ("softening labor market conditions"). Heart-warming stuff, that.
