>>106136787It was a time when linux and opensource was on the upswing. Good things were not rejected from opensource yet: ex anything good was /accepted/ into Linux kernel and every other opensource thing. Programmers were in /CONTROL/ and were /RESPECTED/ and were all men.
Now you can't get anything in linux or anything else. You can't even talk to other opensource programmers: everything is spamfiltered, blackholed, and your messages are deleted by moderators who are not programmers from everywhere.
Back then we didn't need Freenet, but we used it because it, and crypto, were cool.
Now we do need freenet: but no one will ever know about it because Ian took the name and made you change it to "filthy fungus underground lol fuck you pedos, WOMENS RIGHTS! GIRLS NOT BRIDES!!!"....
so those who remeber freenet and need it now, will not find it.
Which is why he changed the name (why did you allow this: just say no) (he didn't even write the code IIRC: I remeber he hired a Java programmer to program Freenet. He "just" supplied the ideas).
I remeber new versions of GNU's Java compiler were watched to see if they'd run Freenet correctly and fast. And the free java runtime too.
It's like it was yesterday.
But my server is broken.
And I can't step back in.
And grsecurity is gone.
They lied to us all.
They said they'd sue violators.
No point in doing GPL work if anything you do will be ripped off and closed-source. Like Grsecurity does to linux kernel.
Also the feeling was that the ENTIRE opensource community was "one" thing.
Not seperate projects that had nothing to do with eachother.
When I contribute to an opensource video game that's my work. And my reward is the opensource stuff other people did. We were all in it together.
Now everything is "seperate"
And you have seething assholes yelling
>HAHAH YOU HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH GPL PROJECT X SO NO COMPLAINING COMPANY Y IS CLOSE SOURCING THEIR DERIVATIVE WORK HAHAHAHA!And we have women running gatekeeping operations.
