SRC changed their terms of use yesterday, and released a news post with an FAQ. They make it sound like not a big deal. It's a big deal. The Creative Commons licence is gone. They claim ownership over the data now. Thread about what this means, and what we can do about it 🧵

Comparison of the old src terms and the new src terms

"LibreOffice 26.8 contains no generative AI features. Documents are not transmitted to remote services for processing, and no component of the suite requires network access to function. This is a deliberate position."

Never forget that they had to spend trillions of dollars, build massive data centers, consume millions of galloons of water and insane amounts of electricity, just to kind of do what you can do better with your imagination and a cup of coffee. That's how envious they are of what you can do.

My brain has decided to create an absolutely wild remix this morning Mad world lyrics "I think it's kind of funny I think it's kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had" *cuts to Yoda* "hmm HA hm hm hmm HA hmm HA hm hm hmm HA Stop that now!"

It will never be enough. No amount of cruelty is enough, because mere misery isn’t the end goal for people who repeatedly claim our existence is a crisis. If you think someone being alive is a problem, you want their death. If it’s an entire group, you want genocide.

Article from a prominent GC campaigner in The Critic today, decrying the guidance for not going far enough: "The only thing that will reverse the state we are in is to overturn the Gender Recognition Act 2004 and remove “Gender Reassignment” as a protected category in the Equality Act."

I'm reluctant to speak up on trans topics these days because it's often not worth the pain caused, so I'm probably going to regret this, but disappointingly a lot of people need to hear this. Accusing trans women of "male socialization" is an astonishingly cruel, callous, and spiteful thing to say.

Well! Thanks to the diligence of a friend, I was made aware today that my voice is being used for a truly terrible AI TTS voice generator. In fact, a lot of streamers seem to be affected by this. As of now, I have a takedown request pending, and hope this will be resolved soon. 🧵 (1/7)
