  • @HumanPenguin Well I'm all ears, eager to learn the history, yet still waiting for the link... do you have any?

  • @HumanPenguin Well obviously we can't apply definitions of the likes of Meta or Google, who are trying to bend it towards their business goals, and also of some random internet bloggers. So apart from those, can you link to any applicable definition of open source which doesn't grant the freedom of use?

  • @foremanguy92 @AnyOldName3 yes, unfortunately, you are wrong. The term "open source" also contains a clause about not restricting the use. Think "open cage", not just "open book".

  • @spez That's not what open source means.

  • @dogs0n Yeah the license is not open source. It restricts use, modifications and distributions. I thought people in this community would know what the name of the community means.

  • @pastermil @nicgentilecal.com - supposedly AGPL core with proprietary "enterprise" code in specific directories, but the open source doesn't even build without the enterprise code.

  • @kami @suboczsubocz matrix is a decentralized chat network so a matrix bridge is basically a WhatsApp bot forwarding all messages to a matrix bot so then you can use any of the matrix client apps. It's open source, self-hostable, but sure, you can pay your maintainer.

  • @jsomae it's used to prevent civilian deaths by destroying the weapon that did that. Sounds like love to me. These planes killed children.

  • @kibiz0r @CapriciousDay

    it’s not a sustainable 100%-of-the-time every-single-day pace

    The agile manifesto seems to disagree with you:

    Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.

    And it has some answers for the development of tools and refactoring as well.

  • @davel You are confidently incorrect on both counts, but that's to be expected. Stay classy.

  • @davel notably, we are not in China. Are you also going to claim that DeepSeek isn't censored?

    If you don't see any protests in a democracy, it's not because everybody is happy.

  • @yetanothercommie

    just like every other state in the world

    Really? Let's talk about Tiananmen Square. Or how about Uyghurs. Let's use a picture of Winnie the Pooh. Is it really "just like" every other state? I'd say it's a little bit above the average. People's democracy my ass. Just because trump turned USA authoritarian didn't make China less authoritarian.

  • @fubbernuckin Because you did spend that time to learn cooking somewhere in the past. Look, I teach IT students, and there is a very clear difference between those who use ChatGPT for everything, and those who try to figure things out. Even asking the right questions from people on IRC is a skill that needs to be learned and practiced. You don't see it, because you haven't grown up in a world with ChatGPT since the start, so you did already learn that. But can you ever stop learning?
