Leafsheep!!!

Newpipe is a great and active FOSS Youtube client!

wait, you banned that person because they misunderstood a meme‽

well, the democrat-republican left-right switch actually happened. I dont think this meme is trying to reference the current election.

edit: however, no idea why this is a “lefty” meme

buy it immediately. for science!

Heh. Lunatic. Good alternative name!

I suppose. But I think, minetest as a project was strengthend by its proximity to minecraft. The big reason you pick up luanti is that its like minecraft, but free and with more modding freedom. I dont think this is bad thing to be reflected in a name. But good luck to them, maybe they can pull the name change off without hurting their public recognition too much.

Im always sceptical of name changes, because you trade a somewhat widespread known project name in for …nothing.

Yes, go on, let NVIDIA buy intel. Let them buy AMD too. What could go wrong. I love monopolies! /s

but… you dont have to accept contributions? you can just make it open source and tidy it up at the same time?

then why make it closed source to begin with?

sounds great! I hope this gets some traction, because the official wayland protocols are so dead slow that its not even funny anymore. for example the wayland hdr protocol, open for 4 years now: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/14

what is up with wayland standards taking so long to finalise? They have been chewing on HDR for over 4 years now…

Lots of “source available” licenses have a clause that a few years after development stops it becomes open source. Thing is, software with those clauses have existed for years now, and I dont know of a single case where it actually came into effect. Its very easy to have a minor patch every four years to prevent the license change, and if the devs of the software actually wanted to open source it, they would have done so whenever they wanted instead of only promising it. Clauses like that are supposed to combat abandonware, but abandonware does not usually happen because someone forgot the software existed, its a conscious choice to not release the source.

I love this AI insanity, was the title the prompt?

yep, just add an instance in the settings, peertube subs integrate nicely with youtube subs

Newpipe works just fine for me(on android)

Never tried it on desktop, only mobile, but Organic Maps is really good and has a desktop version

Well, to run with your analogy, I prefer things to be recyclable then to just throw them away.

I agree with you - to a point. The linux kernel is too big and complex to understand all of it as a single person. However, its critical software. Meaning, we are not depending on some nerd to find a bug anymore. There are companies that look through critical code to check for security issues.

Now imagine I made some somewhat popular open source server software that saved passwords in plaintext. Chances are good, that by sometime next week ill have someone on the internet scream at me for that. With proprietary software, no one is coming.

(Maybe at the next code review, someone will say something, but proprietary software does not imply me working at a corporation, and corporation does not imply the software having to be closed source)

Open source does not guarantee 100% secure software, but it does make obvious lapses in judgement much less likely. And sometimes, there IS a nerd who will look through the code because they wanted a feature, and finds a critical bug. Like the person that found the xz backdoor. The chance for that happening with closed source is zero.
