@birdcat they do this to all new accounts now, especially the mostly inactive ones. I think one way to get around the phone requirement is to use a proton email and setup 2FA immediately after creating the account. Then again, proton is flagging new accounts with signup confirmation emails too, so... yeah... leave github asap

@muntedcrocodile "Fair use" are exceptions from copyright licenses. I won't pretend I know how this all works in detail, I just know this is the loophole they are using.

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

@jonuno graphs and numbers, but try to create your favorite solution and then see what it will cost: https://en-roads.climateinteractive.org/scenario.html?v=24.6.0

"source available" licenses are making the commons MORE ransacked by corporations. Which direction do you want to go?

@haui_lemmy Look, I think we all agree that the maintainer financing needs to be improved, but what you are suggesting is throwing the baby out with the bathwater. You would remove the whole "F" of the "FOSS" by adding restrictions on the freedoms. So we just need to keep looking, this is not it.

@haui_lemmy That's like saying "I want to fly but without losing touch with the ground" - it is possible, it's just called "walking". If you "don't want someone to make money off of your invention" then that's called "proprietary".

> 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.

@Kushia @brayd

installing a matrix client and creating a matrix account is exactly as complicated as installing discord app and creating an account there.

Any big company which cannot bear the costs of publishing code to github can just calculate how much it would have costed them, then send the code to me and I'll upload it to github for them and only ask for half of the price. Seriously, I'll halve your "cost". Because it is actually free and they are just bullshitting.
