Apparently it's AI coded? Or maybe not?
What does powered by mean when LiveKit is about AI agents?
Are we letting AI agents meet instead of ourselves?
The linked LiveKit website and linked LiveKit blog post seem completely disconnected. I don't get it.
Why why why not just use Jitsi ?
People contribute to FSF to support programmers to make important Libre products like this one and give it away , seems so wasteful for a government to fund a whole new different effort
They rewrote a messenger and the entire office suite. They could've collaborated with the Germans in making OpenDesk. Imagine all the dev time going into making Forgejo federated instead of rewriting everything a different way that isn't interoperable with another government's tools.
Maybe it has to start with way, every government making their own FOSS tools, features and code getting closer and closer together until they finally merge or dump one FOSS tool over another FOSS tool. 🤷
My thought is: at least its FOSS
It is so frustrating to see how tax payers are funding projects that reinvent the weel over and over. EU can just fund a good open source self hosted option then every country host it for it self.
IMO, it's a matter of time. They will learn eventually. We're just at the beginning and mistakes are being made and will continue to be made. However, I'm much happier with them doing is as FOSS instead of some proprietary, closed source crap that has to be rewritten for millions by some external company a politician happens to know.
Baby steps.
