What about defects in the machine or car? Could that lead to people being struck by lightning coming from the box next to their automobil?

Lately the definition has become a bit blurred though. Like how some people only consider something “open source” if it also has a copyleft license.

PRs and issues are not a mandatory part of opensource.

You can literally bundle your code and serve it on some random page on a blog and it would be considered opensource.

I use Github Copilot. I like it a lot. What I don’t like is if it were forced right into my butthole.

Well, if somebody thinks this, it’s kind of true isn’t it?

No you just continue updating until it’s fixed again.

Getting enough money from those sweet LLM training data deals.

Soon it can be scrapped for steel and you could make money off buying them.

Why not 1mph then?

Welcome to my blocklist :-)

Wow there’s so many awesome people here :O

If you don’t care you shouldn’t care to tell others about it either.

As soon as you tell others, others will tell you.

Brave bad, CEO evil, Chromium, cryptoooo, etc… Bullshit browser.

Don’t let this one person stop you.

I’m still recommended it to everybody.

There have been very decent alternatives, but they never took off.

One such was Flattr. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flattr

Flattr was a Swedish-based microdonation subscription service, where subscribers opted in to pay a monthly patronage to help fund their favourite websites and creators. It shut down in November 2023.[1]

Flattr subscribers installed an open-source browser extension that records which websites they frequent and shares this data with Flattr.[2] Flattr processes this user data and pays out shares of the user’s subscription to each registered Flattr creator based on which websites the user consumed.[3] Flattr filtered websites by domains with a default allowlist of participating domains, but individual users could override and contribute to any website they want or withhold contributions from any website.[4]

I used it for a while, but not many websites and creators used it, so most of my money was going towards a select few.

You can just use a free adblocking DNS for that.

A browser adblocker is better for a few tricky ads.

Ah yes. The redneck. A worldwide phenomena.

• Fancy layout and theme
• Easy to understand. Receive a Discord link and it’ll ask you to download Discord or join using their web app.
• Media support (images, gifs, videos, sounds), Youtube embed, etc
• Easy to make your own server. Click 5 things and you have one.
• Voice chat with screenshare and even party games
• Free (but ofcourse they steal your data)
• Channels purely for pinning and sharing information. Including channels that look more like a forum.
• No need to remake an account on all the servers.
• And a lot more.

People want something else though because Discord is very bad privacy wise. They keep shoving their premium features in your face. Have horrible support and can ban for an out of context “i’m 10 years old”. (Even if the next message is “i’m joking”). They have been known to share information about protest organizers with governments, take an extremely long amount of time to remove malicious and predatory servers. And so much more.

People want something that can offer them the comfort of Discord, with the freedom of IRC.

That [redacted] is so [redacted], what [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] wrong with people?

Why the fuck are they even trying this?

Even under perfect conditions it takes more than 2 seconds for the radio waves to go to the moon and back.

Brought back*

No need for this trash on the moon, even if it works.

I have donated €1500 to opensource software projects and paid a whopping €7 for software. These (privacy respecting) projects got my money because they weren’t transaction based. Capitalism is not the only way.
