two things i read today that kind of talk to each other.
first, dustri on weird licenses. the filthy human hands license bans any company with more than 50 employees from using your code, and reticulum's forbids running it in anything that can harm humans. probably unenforceable, and that's the point: anyone with a legal department stays away. 40 years of free software, and the cloud giants still profit from code kept alive by some random person in nebraska. he wants a weird-license repo in linux distros, and honestly so do i.

second, lyra got wrongly given edit access to her own chrome bug and set the bounty to $1,333,337 as a joke. she clarified it within the hour. an ai community note then got the facts wrong, an ai "news" site turned the tweet into an article, and google's ai overview now says she's the record bounty millionaire. nobody lied on purpose and the machine built the lie anyway.

small web, handmade stuff, people with their own rules vs a big machine that eats everything and spits it back wrong. i know which side i'm on.
