CodeProject should be completely free (as in freedom)
-
I made an account here, and I saw that I have to have a logon email (I dont have email for privacy reasons, I just use tempmail services, how am I supposed to use this?), among many other issues, and it made me realize that CodeProject could avoid issues like this if it were free (as in freedom), and that CodeProject not being completely free (as in freedom) is odd considering that the first thing it says in the about page is "CodeProject was formed to allow developers to freely share their knowledge, code and ideas. We believe that by opening your code to others, by teaching those who are learning, and by sharing our daily experiences we all become better programmers.". So then why isn't CodeProject free? I know that there are some reprositories in its repository, but the general website isn't free (as in freedom), but that is still a big problem. I don't want to come off as just a annoying neckbeard linux fan (but you aren't a nerdy neckbeard if you just annoy people a lot, then you are an open source activist lol), but I just think that this is a cool service, and want to help improve it.
The problem is that with that kind of freedom comes hand-in-hand all sort of bullies - everything have a price... CodeProject interprets free as without payment. But always remember, that you freedom to choose kept intact...

It is free, as in freedom. As in you have complete freedom not to partake in this great community. That said, I'll be more blunt. Wake up. Free and freedom are completely misunderstood, misused, and abused terms. It's a lot more productive to realize that everything is an agreement in one form or another. By participating in anything in life, you are constantly explicitly or implicitly agreeing to the terms of that interaction. If you don't agree, then don't participate. That is the only actual "freedom" you have. I guess philosophy is something nobody teaches anymore. :(

Freedom of expression is not the same as anonymity. What you're asking for is an anonymous account, which CP allows for viewers/readers only. This access is for both their forums and articles. What you cannot do is post anonymously. For this you have to create an account.

Without a way to identify the user the doors are wide open to spammers, perverts and idiots. I have a site and I used to have a comment section so people could comment on my articles, without signup or any kind of ID...yeah I know stupid right, I was young(ish), naive and trusting. The number of links to porn, adverts and just plain filth got unmanageable and now I don't do comments at all.

You can read articles for free without having a login. You cannot download code zip file for free without a login. But there is a workaround for this too. You can go to Browse Code for that article, see the listing of all source code files there, and select-copy-paste to your workspace. Do this for all files listed, update your own project with these source files, build and run. All of this without a login. What more do you want?

One thing I keep seeing/hearing: people keep insisting on "freedom", but never mention that with such freedom there is equally as much a need for responsibility. And let's face it, what kind of developer are you if you don't have email? One of the most basic forms of communication, as well as providing a basis of identity.

you sure got everyone stirred up. Which I believe was your intent. You are enjoying watching everyone get stirred up. Congrats on you. You are nothing more than a troll. I almost feel sorry for you. Just stirring the pot. Are you really accomplishing anything in life?

Name one forum like this site that allows posting anonymously. You're not going to find one because doing so opens the site up to be completely overrun by spammers. Or did you not think about that?

No, it should not be, which is why it isn't. When joining an established community, one must obey the rules of that community.

You're right, it's not free, as in you ain't free to be an asshole here. But it's free in other regards, like be a valuable resource that doesn't cost you a penny. Between you and me, nobody really like the freedom to be an asshole, you know.

To some (many?), freedom (as in freedom) means "no rules". That's not "improving" things.
