The end of owned hardware. In the glorious future, you will rent your hardware and you will like it.

> [rustfs] have already prepared for bait-and-switch in code

There's also a CLA with full copyright assignment, so yeah, I'd steer clear of that one: https://github.com/rustfs/rustfs/blob/main/CLA.md

It is the angle that is important to ME, a European user. I would happily throw moneydollars at the browser project but the Mozilla suits won't allow me to, for whatever-the-fuck reason.

What do you mean by 'manage?' In your mind, what are you planning to do in the future that you need my full copyright as a change owner?

Then it's not the CLA that ensures project survivability. It's the strong core team you mentioned.

That doesn't require full copyright assignment, though, right?

They have a CLA that assigns copyright to them: https://github.com/rustfs/rustfs/blob/5b0a3a07645364d998e3f5...

So, arguably worse than MinIO.

Unfortunately the feedback period for the European Digital Fairness Act has been closed since October 24th. Does anyone know of another way to appeal to my European overlords^H representatives?

If you honestly believe that, I've got a bridge to sell you.

In the context of code, where review bandwidth is the bottleneck, I think it's spot on. In the arts, comparatively -- be they writing, drawing, or music -- you can feel almost at a glance that something is off. There's a bit of a vibe check thing going on, and if that doesn't pass, it's back to the drawing board. You don't inherit technical debt like you do with code.

I do the same. Case in point: I started to follow someone's blog because of their technical achievements, then I realized I don't like their political views _at all_, but I keep them on the list mostly to keep myself on my toes.

Absolutely. Staying within an order of magnitude for a project of this size is just really good eyeballing. :)
