I may live to regret this but... If you have a legal/licensing issue with a FOSS project and need help, you can ask me nicely and I'll try to help. I am not a lawyer, nor am I pretending to be one, but I'm pretty good at providing clarity and getting things fixed.

I'm really excited to announce that our Redis fork both has a new name (Valkey) and was accepted into the Linux foundation, linuxfoundation.org/press/li…. This has been such an amazing effort by my fellow co-creators of the project and the linux foundation.

Hey @PeerDBInc , could you not lie to people? Your license isn't open source.
That's shady AF. – at Dublin City, Ireland
Hi friends, if you need an invite to Bluesky, DM me, I have one. If I don't know you, you're not getting it, sorry random people.
Reminder: be incredibly skeptical of anyone who claims to have an Open Source AI. 2 reasons: 1. There is no definition (yet) for an "Open Source AI", because an AI model is data+ code 2. Even absent a formal definition, nothing with commercial use restrictions is open source.
Just as a heads-up, this place is incredibly toxic, and as much as I like some of you beautiful people, I'm not really going to be posting here anymore. The owners have made this into a nazi bar and it's not where I want to be.
You can find me on Mastodon, BlueSky, T2...
The man in the seat in front of me reclined it all the way immediately on takeoff. Into and through my knees. Picture shows where they were before (touching the seat). He then left it reclined for the next six hours. SIX HOURS. – at Queens, NY
