告别 

告别
——献给我们相聚的日子

虽然每个人都知道,有开始便会有结束,送君千里终须一别,天下没有不散的宴席。但离别突然到来时,却发现已经构筑了太多的联系,留下了太多的记忆。突然之间一切都消失了,当惊诧过去,才觉得痛彻心扉。

昨天早上,草莓县已经挂了将近4天了。我像往日一样,看了看草莓县的telegram群,群里有人说站长在 discord 上发消息了,同时附上了消息的全文。有些怀疑这是条假消息,于是赶忙打开 discord ,发现站长确实发了这样的一条消息。
虽然感觉到惊讶,但却很快就接受了这个现实,仿佛这件事早在自己预料之中,而这则通告只是揭开了那层面纱罢了。

前天时,草莓县、猫站狗站都已经挂了很久却迟迟没有恢复,巧合的是这几个站都是数一数二的中文大实例,于是就有人猜测,会不会是站长出事了。但这个猜测一闪而过,根本就没有人讨论这个猜测。也许大家都只是觉得站长现实中比较忙,没有发现服务器出问题了,毕竟之前域名过期,草莓县成孤岛的那次站长也是过了很久才做出反应。
昨天看到公告时,却发现自己并没有想象中的那么惊讶时,这才发现前天那小小的猜测便已经在自己心中埋下了怀疑的种子,而今这颗种子得到浇灌终于破土而出。

将discord的公告截图之后发到了长毛象上。看着这条嘟文不断被转嘟,甚至连同前天那条希望大家来我的实例的嘟文也一同转嘟着。默默看着屏幕上发生的这一切,我却突然感觉到害怕,心里甚至冒出了删号跑路的念头。虽然理智告诉自己,自己虽然在网上留下了一些信息,但还没有到必须要删号跑路的地步。但这种恐惧却在自己心中萦绕着,久久不能散去。
这种恐惧是什么?大概是突然发现自己其实一直身处在黑暗之中,之前的种种美好仅仅是一些幻想,仅仅是一场美梦罢了。而今梦已破灭,世界露出了狰狞的一面,黑暗中那不知名的巨兽悄然吞噬了我们的同伴,那巨大的绿色眼睛散发着寒光,告诉我们 Big brother is watching 。
随后各个中文实例纷纷关闭了注册;草莓县 telegram 群也把聊天记录修改为了对新成员不可见;以前我还觉得里瓣的那个界面补丁实在是太过分了,实在是有违开放精神,但如今自己也有打上那个补丁的想法,而隔壁的nebula则将这个想法变成了现实;acg.mn 则修改了 CSS ,把网站伪装成了404页面。
一个时代结束了。最深刻的告别不是和某一个人的告别,而是和一个时代的告别。随着海都督的公告,随着草莓县的死去,中文长毛象开放纪元结束了,封闭与黑暗的纪元拉开了序幕。

有人曾说长毛象是难民们的收容所,你看长毛象宇宙里有微博难民,有豆瓣难民,有推特难民,有汤不热难民。虽然我们来自不同的地方,但我们都受到某种压迫,我们历经漂泊,终于在这里找到了一片容身之地。
但如今这片留下了众多欢乐与记忆的岛屿却永远沉没了,我们又要开始了逃难与漂泊了。我们这些难民们!
我们还要继续漂泊多久,才能重回故乡?我们还要在这片黑暗中前进多久,才能重新见到光明?我们何时才能逃离这片黑暗,逃离这片恐惧?我们何时才能在没有黑暗、没有恐惧的地方重聚?
虽然这个日子遥遥无期,但我相信这一天终会到来。

我觉得保护“点子”而不是保护“实现”的软件专利是专利/版权体系中最可笑的一个,对续期极其宽松并且正在被游说得越来越宽松的著作权次之。

#观谷歌和DeepMind大批深度学习相关基础专利今日生效有感 但并不针对谷歌
我是说搞出这套体系收割全球又无法将其修正的欧美都是辣鸡

the point here is not to praise IBM, but that there was a recognition of fundamentals about privacy almost 40 years ago that #BigTech is just now "waking up to". The understanding that data is a toxic asset, and that only information that's essential should be collected, is on display here. At least in marketing... from the biggest tech company of the day.

kinda realized the problem of 'code is law' - the old days of politics when most people were simply illiterate.

there's also the engine analogy - most people don't understand car engines but they still want to buy a car, so we jail those who sell unsafe cars rather than teaching everyone the pitfalls of mechanics.

emmmm... Anything interesting for further reading?

Devil's Advocate: We need Google (and others, excluding Oracle) to continue being a powerful megacrop until it successfully lobbies the U.S. Government to allow free reimplementation of APIs. Even Google has lost the Oracle lawsuit, but the only reason that projects like Wine is still being able to survive is due to the power of these corporations. If APIs cannot be reimplemented freely, the entire foundation of FOSS may be outlawed in the future. Change me mind.
