@ad_on_is The problem you're hitting is that the #clearnet / #Internet in general weren't adequately designed to handle malicious #infrastructure operators.

"The 'net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it" was a comment about #Usenet, a #federated / #P2P system with gossiped (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gossip_protocol) message exchange which wasn't particularly picky about its transport layer (indeed you could load a spool on a floppy and mail it), not the internet.

@supervent @nn4x This goodness, absolutely this.

Why is anyone still using the #clearnet for this?

#I2P is absolutely one of the better options.

@nyl Personally, I'd be going *out of my way* to disable information-leaking features like that.

#Proprietary suggestion & AI engine? No thanks.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social From the article it seems more of a #Qt win for now (though it does mention patches for many others), but in any case that's neat.

Now it all just needs sane ways to interface from #CommonLisp.

@panamared27401 @chucker @kkarhan @ajsadauskas @technology @music@fedibb.ml @music@lemmy.ml @senficon I've noticed that too. I think it might relate to the difference in how usually it's seen as normal & necessary to hire us for labor rather than to buy (or license 😬) specific products/works ready-made.

With musicians having the rougher end of things there. Their labor is less commonly recognized.

And then of course malware, corporate or not, tends to have direct negative impacts on users or their victims.

@salarua Stuff like MusicBrainz or the various boorus & iqdb/saucenao, for two examples that are mostly crowdsourced (whereas Google Images is very much a corporate-made tool that's also often much harder to use).

@panamared27401 @chucker @kkarhan @ajsadauskas @technology @music@fedibb.ml @music@lemmy.ml @senficon Well yes, the notion of productivized digital works is an inevitable casualty (it never really made sense either, as Taxxon highlights in her videos).

Voluntary support remains.

On the software side of things, I'd most definitely welcome the death of proprietary software and productivized software.

It has led to an absolutely awful amount of corporate malware being normalized, among other atrocities.

@panamared27401 @chucker @kkarhan @ajsadauskas @technology @music@fedibb.ml @music@lemmy.ml @senficon I think it might finally motivate people to participate in the indexing efforts I care about, since they're the only real way to mitigate that.

Currently other than archival nerds and data hoarders, barely anyone seems to care.

@panamared27401 @chucker @kkarhan @ajsadauskas @technology @music@fedibb.ml @music@lemmy.ml @senficon One would think the ease of attribution and finding out plagiarism on the internet would help mitigate that.

Credit/attribution remains essential.

@panamared27401 @chucker @kkarhan @ajsadauskas @technology @music@fedibb.ml @music@lemmy.ml @senficon Well, that's where the crowdsourced patronage & merchandise models (among two typical options) come in.

Both unfortunately rely on popularity with an audience will & able to pay to really work.

They're hardly the only options, streamers have found corporate sponsors for example, but I couldn't call myself an expert in alternative monetization practices.

@panamared27401 @chucker @kkarhan @ajsadauskas @technology @music@fedibb.ml @music@lemmy.ml @senficon The same way any other creative labor is paid.

I certainly wouldn't write code for companies without fair remuneration.

Most other forms of creative work also lend themselves a bit better to crowdsourced patronage & merch than my own craft.

In any case, the value is with the labor, not the resulting work. Mostly only labor can lead to new works or improvements to old ones.
