Just because the baseline has shifted doesn’t mean the change never happened

There can and will be change, sure, but my point was that OP's "smalls steps towards something much worse" typically never happens because of the shift.

    Wait until the cotton gin arrives, all the hand weavers will become jobless and no one will have experience anymore.

    Wait until the printing press arrives, all the scribe monks will become jobless and no one will have experience anymore.

    Wait until the computer arrives, people will become obsolete and no one will have experience anymore.

    Wait until the steam engine, automobiles, planes, calculators, telephones, bla bla

    "Slippery slope" arguments like these assume that once a technology introduces a specific risk, society lacks the agency to create counter-measures, new norms, or alternative uses for that technology.

    History shows that when a "slope" appears, regulation steps in, technology evolves to solve the problem, or the culture shifts to reinterpret the tool.

    In almost every case, the feared "bottom" of the slope was never reached because humans constantly built ramps or bridges along the way.

    Rustdesk Server Pro allegedly violates AGPL license by not distributing source (github.com)
    submitted 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by to c/opensource@programming.dev

    The free community version of Rustdesk Server (a competitor to the Teamviewer remote access software) is AGPL licensed.

    https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk-server

    The paid, proprietary Pro version builds on top of the community edition by adding extra features such as user authentication and a web backend for administration.

    There exists a repo for the pro server: https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk-server-pro

    But it only contains install scripts and no actual source code of the application.

    The github releases page of this repo however, contains the compiled code of the proprietary pro version and is available for anyone to download for free.

    Analyzing the disassembly of the pro and open source binaries shows that the pro version is definitely based on the open source version.

    The company previously associated with Rustdesk, Purslane Limited of the UK, is no longer in operation since 2023.

    The project has no CLA and so the dozens of previous contributors still hold the copyright to their code and have not given permission for it to be used in a proprietary version.

    There have been multiple requests for the source code of this pro version, but either there was no response or the issue was closed without comment.

    EDIT: The repo owner has completely deleted the issue, here is a screenshot: https://0x0.st/KaqD.png

    To me this just proves they know what they're doing is wrong.

    ICPP – Running C++ in anywhere like a script (github.com)
     

    Interpreting C++, executing the source and executable like a script.

    • Writing powerful script using C++ just as easy as Python;
    • Writing hot-loading C++ script code in running process;
    • Based on Unicorn Engine qemu virtual cpu and Clang/LLVM C++ compiler;
    • Integrated internally with Standard C++23 and Boost libraries;
    • To reuse the existing C/C++ library as an icpp module extension is extremely simple.

    There is also a Qt helper module: https://github.com/vpand/icpp-qt

    403 on API endpoints (lemmy.readme.io)
     

    Tried to use several different API endpoints as described in the link, but they all return 403 with a cloudflare "Just a moment..." html reply. Even tried copying an existing jwt token from a working logged-in browser but the same thing still happens.

    Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

    curl -v --request POST \
     --url https://programming.dev/api/v3/user/login \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --data '{"username_or_email": "redacted", "password": "redacted"}'

    Some comments not appearing? (programming.dev)
     

    I am noticing that some comments, which are coming from users on other verified (via /instances) federated instances, do not show up on a post. For example: https://programming.dev/post/13648105

    Does not show this comment on it: https://lemmy.ml/comment/10803786

    Any ideas why? I checked the modlog and the comment wasn't removed, and their post history to me does not look like someone that is likely to be banned from the instance, so I'm not sure what else it could be.

    Is there a way to view the frontpage of another server, or get an RSS feed of another server's single community? (programming.dev)
     

    My lemmy account is on the programming.dev instance but I use newsboat for RSS reading of some lemmy.ml communities, along with browsing the local homepage of lemmy.ml and some other instances in a regular browser. Is there a way to do either of these things from the programming.dev instance so that I can easily comment on posts without having to manually locate the same post by browsing to /c/foo@lemmy.ml on my own instance?
