The latest #StackOverflow bullshit and people on fedi trying to delete their contributions to me strikes extreme semblance to #wiki communities and "forking" where wiki communities such as @MinecraftWikiEN move from one host to another.

Situation is very similar because in both cases written work is licensed on Creative Commons, both communities have interest in deleting their past contributions (in case of wiki it's because old content is cannibalizing search results which drive vast majority of traffic), the reasons are usually the same (disappointment with hosting platform enshittifying), and the written work in both cases is public good.

For me both raise an excellent ethical question - what amount of control should people have over whether their work is held and displayed on given website, after they knowingly contribute it under open license? Legally those websites I think have a good case for keeping it, but legal argument is just that - legal, not ethical.

I think it comes to question whether we should prioritize personal choice, consent and freedoms or public good. And then, if written work still exists somewhere else like in case of wiki fork, would it really be hurting public good to remove work on previous host?

If at the end of the century there is still distinct lack of furry artwork in every art gallery on the planet then it means humanity still sucks.

Microsoft reveals subscription pricing for using Windows 10 beyond 2025, and it's not cheap. Customers will need to pay $61 per device, which will double every year for three years, to remain secure on Windows 10. If you just do shopping or social media you can use alternative os like Ubuntu, Mint, or pop os for your older computer instead of jumping to windows 11. Also regardless of windows 10 or 11 prices you will still get Ads in Windows πŸ˜‚ #linux #privacy #security Choose wisely
