Not sure if you are specifically talking to me, but yeah I do find it strange.

All the recent lawsuits between tech companies and publishers and people somehow became defenders of publshers when those fuckers are the same people that are exploiting creative people in the first place. Creative people are not the beneficiaries of all these settlements that are happening.

I think it’s all the anger of self-published creators with following who convincing people that they are being destroyed and those people are blindly directing that anger at tech companies not fully understanding the situation.

There are various licenses that do that, but by definition they are not open source. Those two things are mutually exclusive.

They don’t explicitly ban torrenting, but they banned port forwarding in 2023 which heavily limits who you can connect to.

wtf is mattermost again?

Open core Discord/Slack/Matrix alternative.

It’s a more minimal app with less features. It’s released on there first so they can ask for feedback while maintaining all the existing functionality on the full app.

Best is subjective and recommendations would depend on your use case. Iceraven is my primary.

Since you deleted your post on !opensource@programming.dev, reposting my comment.

Another AI project that will probably be dead in a few months. Also open core not open source as many of the features are not available via self-hosted version.

Self-hosted version which source is available and hosted-version which is not public, are not the same. Or at the very least, planned to not be the same by your own admission as you talked publically about planning on adding paid-only features to hosted version.

Take out “AI features” and you are left with nothing, so yeah, AI project… It also relies on proprietary AI models that you don’t own, so it can stop working at any point and that would be out of your control.

Hi. Could you add a link to your Lemmy account to any other source? The website/GitHub/Mastodon/Liberapay doesn’t mention this account.
