While I have respect for any programmer, regardless of language, the sheer amount of web developers who cram needless JS in their website makes me sad. That's not to say that JS itself is an inherently bad language, but perhaps introducing it as a web standard was a mistake.

I finished up the #Gopher server I started writing yesterday.

github.com/yam655/gofor

Now you can "go for" my #GopherHole to see it in action

gopher://yam655.com/

I could probably make it better by rewriting it. At 151 lines, I might at some point.

Also: The source is 5.7K while the README.md file accompanying it is is 9.0K.

"Source available" licenses are more nonfree / dangerous than straight up traditional proprietary no-source-available software/licenses. I am actively afraid of being exposed to code under such a license: that's now information that is difficult for me to use in my work on FOSS.

On the normalization of surveillance.

Just watched a commercial for xfinity wifi in which there's the classic scene, teenage boy climbs through window to visit girlfriend after curfew, but then, wham, dad pops in. Busted. Dad holds up his phone, showing a notification. "Kid's phone has connected to wifi."

This is of course being sold as security feature, but it's kinda creepy, no? Every time you go near someone's house, they get an alert? And there's the angle that we carry tracking devices with us at all times, with the expectation (if not the reality) perhaps that only authorized people will review our records, but our devices are also quite promiscuous about attaching to wifi networks and revealing our movements. And clearly there's a market for watchers, based on the fact there's a whole ad targeting them.

Public domain is more ideal. I didn't really think the specifics of the license were important so long as the permissive nature remained. My point doesn't change between ISC or Unlicense/CC0.

@swashberry@social.linux.pizza Free Software is not exclusively copyleft, and there is a debate on copyleft licenses in the Free Sofrware community. I personally use copyleft licenses so someone can't take software I've written, make a single change, and hide the source code from everyone, but I understand the argument against copyleft. In an ideal world everyone would use ISC, but we don't live in an ideal world (yet)

Appanrently University of Alabama is forcing students to download spyware that tracks their location if they want to attend (American) football games. This is to ensure they don't leave, and if they stay at enough games long enough they get points toward tickets to championshop games.

@beegrrl@radical.town My mother tried to get me to install one of those on my mobile when I went to uni. The only problem is that I was using Replicant, so on top of refusing it also wouldn't have worked because I had no GPS drivers.

@patchman@social.linux.pizza That's partly why I'm very surpised at the view counts, jaja. I'm actually working on an article about ID card systems in education, so that should be up Soon(TM).
