oh hey just as a PSA, any code any of y'all may have on github might have been scraped by @swheritage, a self-proclaimed "preservation" org which
- just hoovered up vast amounts of data without asking or telling anyone
- insists on deadnaming trans people forever for "integrity" reasons
- used it to build an LLM training data set

@outie @swheritage shit, they got all of my repos. 😡
@jaredwhite @outie Time to sue then. Those "BuT oPt-OuT iS a FoRm Of CoNsEnT!" shitfaces need to learn a valuable lesson, *especially* if what they do wouldn't be possible with opt-in. If @swheritage can't live without it then the organisation deserves to become history.
@Natanox @jaredwhite @outie @swheritage If the projects had an OSS license I don't see what grounds you have for a lawsuit.
@ao @Natanox @jaredwhite @outie @swheritage theatre Open source isn’t public domain. open source licenses only count if you follow their terms, which an AI doesn’t.
@ao @Natanox @jaredwhite @outie @swheritage disregard the extra word from phone keyboard
