The “royal we” refers to royalty referring to themselves individually in the plural form.

I have not once had a good experience with gnome since the gnome shell was introduced. And I exclusively used gnome before for years.

I’m enjoying Cosmic desktop.

This thread is asking you to associate your anonymous profile with your self-identifying scars. Tread carefully.

If it has a screen, theyll put ads on it. If it doesn’t have a screen, they’ll add a screen, then put ads on it.

There’s a future coming where every fridge sold will come with a screen for ads, and not necessarily any other smart features.

Once people accept this shit, there’s no going back.

last I checked you have to request the source)

So you haven’t checked… Good to know you don’t know what you’re making a strong statement about.

Then suddenly someone is knocking demanding money.

No, they don’t come knocking, because you wouldn’t be using the code in your commercial product in the first place, regardless of how small it is.

Donations are not the same thing as paid licenses, and FUTO’s license is bad because it prevents you from funding your fork. But funding doesn’t mean exploitation for profit, which is what corporations like Google do with copyleft code.

Its about the community as much about the code.

Right, community != business.

I want my code to be freely used by all in the community, and I explicitly do not want a corporation to exploit my work for their profit. That’s antithetical to the concept of community.

I’m a fan of the PolyForm Noncommercial License 1.0.0. In an ideal world, the GPL would be sufficient, but we don’t live in an ideal world, we live in an exploitative capitalist run world and they will do everything they can to profit off the labor of and destroy the community that develops open source software.

Fund the development of the code you spin with donations and foundations and whatever you want, but don’t charge for and make profit off others’ labor.

FUTO could technically scrap the current version, grab the last MIT version of the code, relicense it under their “source-first” license (or any other license they like, pretty much), and declare “this is now the official development version of Immich from which new releases will come.”

If they pulled that off, a community spinoff from that same version would become the new immich killer. Not the first time it’s happened, and the current maintainers aren’t the only ones capable of maintaining it.

Everyone acting like they’ve never heard of “Free as in Freedom not as in Free Beer”

They give you the source. They let you modify it and use it, just don’t make billions off someone else’s freely available work.

How that translates to “most of their stuff is proprietary” and the one smartass that thinks it’s a good argument to say “ffmpeg doesn’t mind their code being used in YouTube, why should you?”

Until we collapse capitalism the billionaires will take our hard work and make billions off of it until they force kill our projects and replace them with proprietary closed source shit. A license that prohibits corporations from making profit off our work is A-OK.

If you move to using an unsecured “chinaphone” as an alternative to the big three handset vendors, then it’s unlikely they are target devices for the myriad of uncertified ROM’s.

Not following your logic here… With the mainstream devices now locked, “the myriad of uncertified ROMs” will necessarily shift to the remaining unlocked phones, or die out.

I think a viable future is owning two devices, one “certified” to access your banking and work apps, and one running GrapheneOS for your private life.

look like you’ve completely given up every day you walk out the door.

Right, that’s pretty unattractive.

Lack of self care leads to looking like shit.

They’re not buying 50% of the junk on Amazon, they’re buying yachts and supercars.

From a worker point of view, nothing better than to shrug and say “not my hardware” and blame Amazon when your shit is down for two days, and take the opportunity to do some changes you’ve been putting off because they required scheduled downtime.

Nobody is switching businesses because the service they pay for it’s down for a day. If you run an individual service business (restaurant, florist) sure, but no one is seriously switching businesses over this. Reliable long term self hosting is expensive and your uptick of business for that one day won’t make up for it.
