@KitRedgrave it's a lot easier to develop good software for a platform when you're not constantly being frustrated by it, actually

ecmascript; software licensing 

when i first started using the MPL i figured the copyleft aspects really weren’t that restrictive because ecmascript is generally a trivial language to extend and patch from a different source file

but with the kinds of code i write these days that is much less the case

i’m not complaining lol

@jdp23 @neil unfortunately i think most of the legal structures involved here are limited to the context of distribution… it’s easier to say that Meta cannot DISTRIBUTE posts (or datasets derived from posts) for certain commercial purposes. but if somebody else (e.g. your instance) is distributing the posts TO Meta, and Meta is simply building an internal dataset using that data but NOT distributing it (just using it to sell ads), the surface area for enforcing some kind of terms of use is a lot smaller. your instance is the one giving them the information, after all (and we don’t want your instance to be the one accumulating legal liability while Meta gets off free)

the situation might be different if mastodon instances required an affirmative agreement to a terms of use BEFORE they started federating out information to a server, but that isn’t the reality right now. trying to enforce terms on mastodon posts under the current model is akin to sending someone an email and saying “by reading this email you agree to X, Y, and Z”. they haven’t agreed, and if you wanted them to, you shouldn’t have sent the email until they did

ecmascript 

as far as i can tell these functions have exactly the same effect in all cases lmao

people sure do have a lot of faith in meta to build a good product considering meta is a company which has built approximately zero good products

re: starbucks workers united 

@aescling i mean yes naturally

starbucks workers united 

« Starbucks workers and the union say that since the unionization campaign began in 2021, the company has more aggressively enforced its dress code and rules governing the material workers can post in stores, as well as other employee conduct, as a way to intimidate and retaliate against union supporters.

“They’re trying to make people feel unwelcome in whatever way possible — through more strict enforcement of the dress code or anything,” said Casey Moore, a union spokeswoman. “The Pride decorations are another level of that.” »

starbucks workers united 

« Starbucks Workers United said employees at more than 150 stores would strike over the company’s labor practices and its “hypocritical treatment of LGBTQIA+ workers.”

[…]

The union said that it was striking over the changes to Pride decoration policies, which it argued must be negotiated, as well as the company’s broader response to the organizing campaign, including widespread retaliation against union supporters. The union said in its statement that workers were “demanding that Starbucks negotiate a fair contract with union stores and stop their illegal union-busting campaign.” »
