I personally think the biggest outcome of things like Mythos is likely to be major destruction and burnout of the OSS teat that corporations have been sucking at for decades now.

@petrillic i want it to spark a revolutionary movement that even free software was too libertarian to catalyze
@hipsterelectron this is the #1 reason I don't release code generally. Not because I don't want to, but because I do not care to support anyone else for free.
@petrillic astral the company that makes uv stole my ideas from pip and took credit for them and sold that shit to openai and it definitely got me thinking twice about ever contributing for free again
@petrillic there are a couple things i'm going to file defensive patents for in the next few years. not sure USPTO will be on my side, but a patent at least lets me scare the shit out of people profiting off of it
And also youll be forced go defend it, at your own great expense.
Its a terrible situation with no visible protections against corps that will just steal and make you force them to stop.
@tomjennings @petrillic i think you heavily underestimate how willing i am to fight corps in court when i'm in the right
GOOD! I didn't mean to discourage you or anyone. It's about power, not rights, if you have the cash or the connections you could do some broader good.
@hipsterelectron @petrillic
Do you have any thoughts on the #permacomputing movement/ethos?
I haven't looked too deep into their software and programming languages, but I strongly identify with the "my solar-powered laptop from 2006 works fine, get off my lawn M$"-part of their philosophy.
they're the kinda people who use dithered images on their websites to save on storage, bandwidth and energy

@moses_izumi @petrillic yes! this is why i am such a strong advocate of portability and why i think spack is such an important piece of technology for practically achieving it. i also think the internet itself tends to be antithetical to this goal and it's one reason (along with surveillance and security) that i have been developing an alternative
@petrillic i want many things
