  • Futo updates their website, removing logos, clarifying micro grants

  • From what I'm seeing, you're right. If there was a contributor assignment policy (some official policy associated with Immich saying that by submitting a PR, you agree to assign copyright on your code changes go the Immich project), FUTO could change the license on future versions as they wished. But it doesn't look like there's any contributor assignment or contributor license agreement on Immich.

    To be pedantic, Immich did change from MIT to AGPLv3 a while ago. FUTO could technically scrap the current version, grab the last MIT version of the code, relicense it under their "source-first" license (or any other license they like, pretty much), and declare "this is now the official development version of Immich from which new releases will come." That would be drastic even for FUTO, though (I don't think that's likely any time soon), and the community could then fork the latest AGPLv3 version with a different name and carry on with development.

  • That is not supporting fascist projects

    Literally what I just said in the comment you responded to.

  • Ah. My mistake. I'll edit my comment.

    Edit: According to another comment in this post, FUTO "took over" Immich. Seems like maybe Immich was AGPLv3 before FUTO got hold of it. Still qualifies as "one of FUTO's projects", and your point is still well made, but it does still add a bit of context, and honestly I have to wonder whether future versions of Immich will remain FOSS.

  • The article I linked in another comment explains more, but Eron Wolf, founder of FUTO, kindof pressured or hoodwinked Louis Rossmann into publicly interviewing Curtis Yarvin who happily refers to himself as a "reactionary fascist" and publicly states that black people are inherently suitable for enslavement.

    I don't know that it's so much that they support "fascist projects" as much as they go out of their way to be a platform for spreading fascist propaganda, and particularly promoting the fascist Curtis Yarvin.

  • This is all in reference to this article.

    FUTO is an organization that talks a lot of rhetoric about being some bastion of consumer rights in tech, but they're doing a lot of shitty, shady, and downright evil things. Among them, FUTO has been in the practice of making small grants to FOSS projects (like ffmpeg and musl) and then plastering the FOSS project's name and logo all over the FUTO site in a way that makes it seem as if FUTO is endorsed by said FOSS projects when that's not the case at all.

    (All this after doing everything in their power with their rhetoric to try to discredit and degrade the entire FOSS community. They wrote an "apology", but even in the apology, they express their "disdain for OSI approved licenses". Mind you, none of FUTO's projects are Open Source most of their projects are proprietary.)

    After that article came out just a couple of days ago, apparently they redid their site, I'd have to guess in an effort to address the concern that the way FUTO presented their grant program before implied endorsement by a lot of FOSS projects that didn't endorse them in any way. I don't think they've done enough, and there are tons of other reasons to think FUTO is evil assholes using consumer rights rhetoric to manipulate people in service to its (fully for-profit) bottom line.

    Other concerns in the article include FUTO's connection to explicit/proud fascists and using their platform to (even coercing Louis Rossmann into) spread fascist propaganda.

    And I've got plenty more to say about how evil FUTO is.

  • I am doing DMT for the first time, what should I do to prepare?

    Jump

  • You're talking about vaporizing the crystal and inhaling it or injecting it, yes? Not a chaga or ayahuasca sort of preparation? I'll assume you'll be doing just DMT with no MAOI for the rest of this post.

    Also, disclaimer: I've never done any psychedelics. Just studied quite a bit.

    This is basically cliche at this point, but, set and setting.

    Mindset. Meditate. Learn to let go. Learn not to try to control. That will come in handy during your trip. The less you fight it, the more positive it will be.

    Setting. Make sure your plans are well set up ahead of time so you don't end up worrying about things down here on the material plane while you're tripping. Have a trip sitter. Trip somewhere beautiful and comfortable. Have a trip sitter.

    Aside from that, learn how to actually get the drug into you properly. You don't want to burn it, just vaporize it, and that requires doing it right with the right kind of device. Your trip sitter can help, especially if they're experienced.

    Godspeed. No pressure, but if you're ok with it, I'd love to see you report back after.

  • What are all the useful services I can host right on a raspberry pi?

    Jump

  • Anything?

    Basically anything you can run on a computer you can run on a Raspberry Pi.

    Of course Raspberry Pis are Arm devices. So I guess proprietary software that doesn't support Arm (and the very rare FOSS software applications that go out of their ways to make it hard to use them on Arm for some fucking reason -- looking at you, Cura) would be a little more challenging. But aside from that... anything, really.
