    After reading this, I’m kinda curious how it compares to JetBrains. It’s becoming more and more VSCode like and I’m not a fan.

    Does Kate support or have plugins for renaming symbols, presenting documentation, formatting files, showing code diagnostics beyond syntax errors (for example code smells or so), have AI integration (explain this, rewrite this, replace this with prompt output, …), specific framework integrations (reactjs, django, actix, …), and stuff like expanding macros in C/C++ and Rust?

    @jonny@neuromatch.social I want to like this, but the repo and website do not convey this fundamental information about the project

    • what it is
    • what is does
    • why it does it
    • how it does it

    The repository only has deployment notes.

    The webpage has:

    • The name
    • A quote
    • What SciOp belongs to
    • A call to action addressed at… somebody
    • Some random stats

    It doesn’t mention “tracker” anywhere and only mentions “bittorrent” once.

    Please consider people who:

    • know nothing about the project
    • don’t care about who you are
    • have under 5 minutes (most likely 1 minute) to be intrigued
    • are not necessarily technically inclined

    Ask yourselves who the target audience is and maybe even state it on your webpage.

    Lastly, it’s probably too late to change the name and it’s a matter of taste, but making it a homonym to PsyOp make me immediately think that this has a connection to anti-vaxxers, chemtrail believers, flat-earthers, illuminati freaks, and just conspiracy theorists in general.

    Maybe I’m the only one thinking this, but as it currently exists, the project feels very much like the old-school C projects that assumed you were “in the know” before even arriving at the website or project. It does not make it inviting - at least not to me. It may be a completely false impression, but it is my impression nonetheless.

    I wouldn’t make such a prediction as there are many possibilities and people like hanging onto things. One possible outcome could be the introduction of UBI, which could allow people only pursue the jobs or activities the want. That could be upskilling to become a research, becoming a race car driver, or a streamer, starting a company using AI, traveling the world, helping out the elderly, and so much more. There would still be production and consumption with popular products making some companies richer than others, but it could lead to a happier populace within a capitalistic system.

    Of course there are dystopian scenarios like cleansing of the unemployed, remigration of the homeless, forced labor, and so much more that could keep the capitalistic system alive.

    Adapt or die. Societies that do not adapt to these changes will not have a good time. It’s easy to ignore workers and just say “well, you’re replaced, now fuck off”. If the government doesn’t take care of them and keep them happy, it could easily have negative consequences for the government.

    Imagine if 30% of the workforce were fired within 5 years and couldn’t get a job because AI did everything. Would 30% of the population just be happy going from something to homeless? How would the country absorb such a change? Governments can keep looking at the shiny money companies pay them to look the other way, but just because they ignore to see things doesn’t mean they aren’t happening. Either they are forward thinking and prepare or they will find themselves up a creek.

    This is the text is suggested to be added

    ## Open Source Maintenance Fee

This project requires an [Open Source Maintenance
Fee](https://opensourcemaintenancefee.org/). While the source code is
freely available under the terms of the LICENSE, all other aspects of
the project--including opening or commenting on issues, participating in
discussions and downloading releases--require [adherence to the
Maintenance Fee](./OSMFEULA.txt).

In short, if you use this project to generate revenue, the [Maintenance
Fee is required](./OSMFEULA.txt).

To pay the Maintenance Fee, [become a Sponsor](https://github.com/sponsors/<YOURORGNAME>).

    The EULA template can be found here. This is the part I find important

    1. Conflicts with OSI License

    To the extent any term of this Agreement conflicts with User’s rights under the OSI License regarding the Software, the OSI License shall govern. This Agreement applies only to the Binary Release and does not limit User’s ability to access, modify, or distribute the Software’s source code or self-compiled binaries. User may independently compile binaries from the Software’s source code without this Agreement, subject to OSI License terms. User may redistribute the Binary Release received under this Agreement, provided such redistribution complies with the OSI License (e.g., including copyright and permission notices). This Agreement imposes no additional restrictions on such rights.

    I think it’s a good attempt, but I’m not sure how it can be enforced. It would also need to be applicable to different jurisdictions. The project maintainer would have to know that somebody requesting a feature, commenting or participating in discussions is doing so in the name of the company 🤔

    Thank you for sharing this. It’s food for thought.

    Your comments completely lack empathy, wow. If you were in Snowden!s shoes, I bet you’d have folded to Russia at their first threat. “Visa or plane to Washington” and that would’ve been the and of it.

    But because you are the big tough guy on the internet, Snowden is weak willed. You, the Alpha Moonchild would’ve resisted Russia in their prison and died like Navalni, with your head held high after they tortured your girlfriend in front of you. A true martyr baths in the glory and knowledge that their cause is just and true.

    Your death would’ve driven all Americans and Europeans onto the streets! It would’ve been the flint to light the fire of a generation ♨️ like a true Scotsman, a patriot, a fearless defender of truth, morals, and internet tough guys!🫡

    We all respect your hypothetical sacrifice and moral superiority. Long may it live in our memories.
