    Out of the 800,000 people each year who committed suicide, on average perhaps more capable than the rest of us, what if a few would have been instrumental in developing fusion power?

    I don’t like arguments like this. Especially when it comes from someone in the tech field. It seems to imply that climate change is a technical problem and that some silver bullet solution from a savant will solve it. Meanwhile in the real world, the economic and political system has been blowing all the increasing energy capacity on useless stuff like cryptocurrency and now AI.


















  • Can’t say that what you are looking for is common. This is the first time I’ve heard this requirement bring described.

    Librejs started a long while back. I’m no js historian but I reckon things have changed a ton in jsland since then. My guess is that there assumption is that since JavaScript files are just scripts, they contain the source code and therefore all it checks for is is the license.

    I don’t know at which point things like obfuscation through minification and systems like webpack came along. I’m only theorising but I feel librejs has not been able to keep up with the times.
