Microsoft: No Windows rewrite in Rust, but research continues
A few days ago, a Microsoft manager was looking for personnel for the Rust porting of all C/C++ code – everything was to be converted by 2030.

Can I use some background #music ( #CC Creative Commons) for my personal future website?

#CreativeCommons makes the argument that #bigtech must 'give back' if they are taking from the Commons. It is reasonable.
But this argument only supports #bigtech in claiming "fair use" for what they use AND RESULTS from #GenAI use. So really, they ARE giving back, in the public domain - even better than #CC.

I've been struggling with the dilemma of whether to continue to use #CC0 or shift back into using ##CC-BY-SA like I briefly did when I first discovered Creative Commons licenses over fifteen years ago.
What I really want is to contribute to the public domain, to a literal "creative commons." But I've seen CC0 be abused so much, in such ways that the intent of it seems to be subverted to the point that in practice it becomes a nightmare. This mainly seems to be a problem for those who create music, what with bogus ContentID claims and the like, but I worry it could apply to my primary media forms too (writing and video) and part of my goal in using it is to let it flow freely and not have to think too much about it. I don't want the CC0 status of a work threatened by someone who barely tweaks it and then says it is their copyrighted, derivative work.
CC-BY-SA is on some level closer to what I want - a creative commons, a kind of "public domain," but theoretically protected from bad actors. Yet then, I've heard opinions from those with legal backgrounds, who take an interest in such things, that one is then better off registering the copyrights on works before applying CC-BY-SA since it is a license on a copyrighted work, after all - which feels a little gross and hypocritical, but even more so is an expensive and bureaucratic pain in the neck.
I keep running this over and over in my head. What to do? I feel stuck.
Alright, y’all. Follow-up on this poll as promised…
Creative Commons published it. Afterward they shared their perspective on AI vs CC content. In short, “to get a sense of the various views on this question, we launched a Twitter poll where nearly half of respondents said, ‘it depends.’ We agree.”

They made some questionable comments about it…

bkuhn explains why he doesn't believe #CC-BY-SA is actually a #coypleft license.

“Source code provisions” are an essential aspect of copyleft licenses — even for those that are designed for non-software works.
Much work remains to determine how to draft a “source code provision”. Copyleft-next hopes to get there eventually. Maybe #CreativeCommons could help!

This 2018 interview with Emily Richards (aka #MadameSnowflake), highlights a range of issues #ccMixter have had with CC-license compliance on YouTub. Things I hadn't thought of too, like how to detect posting other people's CC music as if you're the creator;

Makes me wonder how all this could be handled on PeerTube servers, and other media hosts in the fediverse, to make the experience better for both artists and hosts.
Some fantastic tunes in the May edition of Tha Bloc Report;

- Researcher publishes article in journal, using #CC BY.
- ProQuest republishes article, with author, title, date, DOI, licence. Also, with terrible layout, but without images.
- Their DOI doesn't link anywhere. You need to type "https:/doi.org/", add the DOI, paste URL, to find the actual publication. Grey zone of CC BY requirements?
- GS indexes the publication and provides the ProQuest link instead of the proper URL.
Aaargh.

Thanks for the shout out on the podcast @bsots! I've been going through a challenging time, and it really made my day to hear that : )

FYI "Stand up" is geek jargon, for setting up a new server. To "stand up an instance of Mastodon", is to set up a new server running a copy of the Mastodon software.
