Mostly, developers trust contributors not to sue them for #copyright infringement. In order to prevent issues, you should apply a so-called Contributor #Licence Agreement or #CLA.
I just created an ethical one: https://codeberg.org/ForGoodEyesOnly/Ethical-CLA
If you've got a #Hugo website and you're like me, you're always a bit annoyed by having to run multiple console commands just for uploading a single change.
That's why I created #HugoCommit.sh which combines everything into a single command! 😎

After converting all images to #WebP and minifying all the #CSS and #JS assets, #PhishWarn got a performance score of 💯 from #Google for desktop browsers! 🥳

Did you know that #PhishWarn automatically adjusts its theme to your system settings? That's why it's now listed on https://darktheme.club! 😎
@pixelcodeapps I argue Microsoft are cunts and can go fuck themselves.
Nice, #Mastodon officially lists me as #German translator! 😄 #i18n

While #GitHub #Copilot doesn't violate free #software licences (see ⬆️), there are plenty of reasons to #GiveUpGithub anyway. Here are a few:
1. Since we're #FOSS developers, our tools should be #FreeSoftware too.
2. Monopolies are never a good idea.
3. By using a walled garden, we're excluding potential contributors.
4. By using #Microsoft products, we're supporting a producer of #tracking malware and an #NSA collaborator.
Instead, we should switch to #Git platforms running @gitea, such as @codeberg. Also, @dachary and others are already working hard on #forge federation in the @forgefriends project.

As you may have noticed, I've started a #blog on the website of my #ForGoodEyesOnly Licence: https://forgoodeyesonly.codeberg.page/blog 🥳

TL;DR:
Why GitHub #Copilot doesn’t violate free software licences

#GitHub’s new code completion is an #AI trained using #FreeSoftware. Many see this as a copyright infringement of #copyleft licences, but this is dangerous half-knowledge. Read here why this is the case and why stricter #copyright law won’t get us anywhere.
Do you have any questions about my #ForGoodEyesOnly #Licence? Maybe they're answered by the FAQ page: https://forgoodeyesonly.codeberg.page/faq
If not, don't hesitate to ask me directly. ☺️
The #ForGoodEyesOnly Licence’s #website now also has a 404 error page! Thanks to @codeberg for the awesome feature! 😍
The 404 page will always be shown when a page can't be found, for example because the address is incorrect: https://forgoodeyesonly.codeberg.page/tkfmetvwg
Wow, the #ForGoodEyesOnly website also received a 98 performance score for desktop browsers! 😄
Merging and minifying all the #CSS or #JS assets and the #HTML pages as well as resizing the images and converting them to #WebP really pays off if it's done correctly. 🥳
This is the loading speed of my 🇩🇪 project #Grammle which got a performance score of 💯 from Google for desktop browsers. 🥳
Also, thanks to @Mawoka for suggesting image optimisation!
Finally, I can officially announce my new project: #Grammle! It's a collection of 🇩🇪 #German grammar mistakes with a concise summary for each rule.
Follow @grammle and visit its website: https://grammle.codeberg.page 😎
Of course, its source code is hosted at #Codeberg and licensed under #ForGoodEyesOnly v0.2: https://codeberg.org/Grammle/Grammle 😉
I don't make my #Firefox addons available for other #browsers, namely Chromium-based ones, mainly because I don't want to unnecessarily encourage people to use #privacy-invading #software.
For example, as I learned today, there is a way of tracking #Chrome users by analysing what addons they have installed: https://mastodon.social/@datenschutzratgeber/108501172720893200
Please do yourself a favour and visit https://www.stefanjudis.com/a-firefox-only-minimap in desktop #Firefox – it's so astonishing! 🤯 I'm already wondering how I can implement this in my own websites! 😄
