I feel scammed by @PINE64

I was promised Free and Open-source and i can't even get the fucking KiCAD files or reverse-engineer the PCBs without breaking their copyright.

Hey bro accept my follow request.. hey are you still part of codeberg?

@twotwenty I don't accept follow requests to enforce the privacy of my followers. If you request follow it should subscribe you to my posts.

Not part of codeberg anymore, got ousted for being politically active.
I may address this legally in the future, but currently it's not in my agenda due to the issues that codeberg has atm.

@kreyren :( I am a little sad about the terms of service they are adopting right now.

Was there a vote to remove you? I am sorry I didnt voice my opinion I wasnt paying attention.

There was supposedly a vote, but i doubt it's legitimacy as codeberg is autocracy and i wouldn't trust it with my projects, but they allegedly bring economy to gitea development so i still think that it's worth the support.

@kreyren self host gitea. I am going to mention their terms of service and rewrite it once and see what they say.

Why did they boot you seems extreme ?

@twotwenty As far as i understand they booted me for using my favorite " 🔪 " in 3rd party chat room.

@kreyren I am going to bring it up and their terms of service. I cant really be funding them if they are not more closely aligned to my own values.

@twotwenty In terms of codeberg's ToS it's not always their fault lot of the problems originate from german law that then requires an enforcement..

That said they are more then happy to first suspend a repo and then maybe ask questions as the organization for this is truly terrible imho, but at least i was able to block most of those suspends when i was there.

@kreyren Thats fair, but is also simple to state, and put a link to german criminal law. They do not need to go beyond it.

They are publishing a new TOS shortly, this is what brought me into the conversation cause I dont like it.

@twotwenty ye i assume that the situation with codeberg will just get worse over time like i can't even make a vote to deploy onion routing even when i proposed all the needed configuration and was just met with the lordship himself blocking everything and doing an insane stuff in general like using a server with CPU bugs when i proposed POWER9 which was significantly more economical in comparison including the electricity.

@kreyren Were you recomending the talos II main board with power9 ?

@twotwenty Iirc i was leaning towards blackbird as i find them more modular for expansion for high performance servers. (I do not endorse products of raptor computers as they do not provide the hardware designs, but i am not aware of better option until PowerProgressCommunity is finished with their PCB designs)

@kreyren as for the followers thing sounds like a good feature request for mastodon. hide followers from other followers.

@kreyren you should press for that as a separate option in the feature request. but like it says it is protecting the privacy of your followers so that is meeting your primary need.

@kreyren @twotwenty Friendica has such a feature. but people follow to comment and this is barely useless unless you hide comments too.

@iron_bug @twotwenty i don't like the friendlica's UI, but i will consider it if it's not mergable in mastodon

thanku for suggestion though~
