| gevreeen | how can I create a new project in launchpad? | 10:29 |
|---|---|---|
| gevreeen | oh, nvm. had to relogin to see the register button | 10:30 |
| gevreeen | but I don't get to choose the license for the project on creation? | 10:31 |
| ilasc | gevreeen: you do on the second screen under Licenses | 11:28 |
| frost-core | Hello! | 16:19 |
| frost-core | i would like to get started with launchpad, but i dont know the minimum age | 16:19 |
| frost-core | does canonical limit the age? | 16:22 |
| cjwatson | Some of Canonical's services (the snap store) specify a minimum age of 13. Launchpad's terms and conditions currently don't specify a minimum age, though I'm not sure whether that's an oversight | 16:24 |
| frost-core | also, what about ubuntu one?, since its used to register onto launchpad | 16:25 |
| cjwatson | Not being a lawyer I'm not sure I want to say anything more on that other than just the facts of what's there at the moment ... | 16:25 |
| cjwatson | Ah yes, Ubuntu One specifies a minimum age of 13 | 16:25 |
| cjwatson | https://ubuntu.com/legal/terms-of-service | 16:25 |
| cjwatson | So I think in practice that applies to Launchpad too | 16:26 |
| frost-core | as a kid, i dont really know what to do in this situation | 16:30 |
| cjwatson | Yeah, I'm sorry, I think these restrictions tend to be imposed on us to avoid getting into trouble with various national laws which are very strict about online services for children | 16:31 |
| cjwatson | (But as I say, not a lawyer so I'm just guessing from what I've read) | 16:31 |
| frost-core | also, i see that different countries have different law, so this probably applies on some countries | 16:32 |
| gevreeen | ilasc: got it. already past this page but thanks anyway | 16:33 |
| gevreeen | cjwatson claimed yestereve that launchpad.net's not hosted in the us, so your crypto work's less likely to be subject to us export restrictions | 16:35 |
| gevreeen | which is a legal advantage | 16:36 |
| frost-core | im not in the us | 16:36 |
| frost-core | im in algeria | 16:36 |
| frost-core | and crypto is not allowed in algeria | 16:38 |
| cjwatson | What matters here is probably UK law, since Launchpad is hosted in the UK, so I think https://www.legislation.gov.uk/eur/2016/679/article/8 applies | 16:40 |
| cjwatson | (at the very least) | 16:41 |
| cjwatson | But regardless, Canonical's terms and conditions are what they are, I can't really say more than that | 16:41 |
| gevreeen | well, beggars like me can't be choosers. another option, notabug.org, was a favorite of mine, until I found out someone tried to DDOS the site as soon as a guy from #gnu made a statement on the service. | 16:43 |
| frost-core | hmm seems like it has no age limitations | 16:44 |
| gevreeen | ideally a service like launchpad should be housed in some concrete bunker deep underground in iceland, powered through geothermal energy | 16:46 |
| gevreeen | but that's not gonna happen any time soon | 16:46 |
| cjwatson | It's hard enough getting upgrades done as it is ;-) | 16:49 |
| frost-core | i love that notabug.org exists, as i can get started with my own repositories | 17:00 |
| frost-core | when i grow up, i may switch to launchpad | 17:00 |
| gevreeen | it exists, passed gnu's tests, and yet remainsbrittle | 17:09 |
| gevreeen | it's not like I can tell a normal folks from a pegasus employee on irc | 17:10 |
