@EugeneNine Basically the plot of the Animal Farm.

This fixed the problem for invidious, maybe RustyTube needs something similar https://github.com/iv-org/inv_sig_helper

@tux0r You are right that this mistaken definition is quite common. Smart person would try to correct the mistake, not defend it.

@over_clox The lack of redistribution is what's causing projects to disappear and die, vendor lock-in, walled gardens, bricked devices.. you clearly have no idea what you are talking about

@Alphane_Moon @makeasnek

> you shouldn’t even try sending transactions valued more than a few hundred dollars

this is true about all of the alternatives too, Lightning is just the only one honest about it. And as someone who's been using lightning to pay my phone bills, I can say it works ok.

@pelespirit Not complicated at all. Llama is simply not open-source, the text of the license is in direct conflict with the meaning of open-source and any definition of that term.

@not_amm And I think Keepass (XC) has a merge function which can very easily resolve these conflicts.

@ReakDuck Huh? When was the last time you saw Matrix? These are "spaces" you are talking about, widely supported in client apps. And I wouldn't even see it as the killer feature.

@poVoq but that analogy would only work if the government was the only customer, footing the whole bill. More appropriate perspective is looking at how much would they pay if they got the same service from say Microsoft, or Slack.

@onlinepersona Are you ok? You wrote that in your book any non-obfuscated code is open-source. But on the internet, any javascript is sent to the browser as text, so as long as the javascript is non-obfuscated (according to your definition), then it fits your statement about being open-source. But that would mean you consider many proprietary codes as being open-source, which is simply wrong. Open-source is a license, it comes with rights and obligations. It can't be just about being readable.

@Kushia such a lovely conversation with you. I'm actually glad you prefer discord.

@Haha @starman

> to advertise your project and reach

so does every open-source project have to follow the venture capitalist road? People who are into open-source are pretty comfortable outside of discord, so it only depends who you want to meet. If you aim at the mainstream masses, and you want to grow as much as possible and as fast as possible (why? planning a business exit?) then sure, discord has more of those. But in that case why open-source anyway? It's anti-thetical.
