The code needs to maintain the copyrights and authors. They are “mirroring” usernames into their own domain, with mails that dont correspond to the original authors, stealing their contributions.

Still low, my lineageos phone is going 8 years and is on latest android (and the device wasn’t new when I bought it).

In my experience It’s not about a project plan for features, but actually doings things correctly instead of doing the minimum to finish what you need to do on the current sprint.

It’s the intent, like “high-end” car models, so you can’t distinguish them by features or age.

Even if you don’t opt in, 99% of the people you interact with would have opted in. So you will monitored as they please.

Discord could solve this particular issue by simply adding a wiki.

yeah, as Stack Overflow could. Discord is bound to the stakeholders, and is already getting enshittified.

This exist already for Fallout 1 & 2 and is great! Fallout 2 Community edition: https://github.com/alexbatalov/fallout2-ce

What do you mean by specs then? The protocol? The “protocol” is the ABI of the server binary, the logic of it. The networking protocol is super simple. You need the server code for replicating any server.

This is not enough, the code is old with vulnerabilities that will be exploited with automation nowadays. To correctly do this you need open source server code, or to have it maintained.

Tesla 🤣

They drafted this law via lobbying. They didn’t lose, but we didn’t win. And now the topic will get forgotten as we already have a law.

I tried the app but it doesn’t even have a way to register an account.

That sounds like you tried Element X app, which is beta (it says so everywhere). One should still be using the Element app for now.

You dont seem to know what you are talking about, or are dissingenous.

Copyright is the tool that allows to enforce GPL. The same with other free and open source licenses.

You seem to be leaning towards “permissive” libertarian licenses like MIT and BSD. Those don’t care much about the end users (I got your code, now fuck off I can do whatever I want with the modifications, including never sharing them back and making the whole thing closed source).

But for GPL and licenses that protect the rights of developers (including the right to ask follow-up developers to keep the code open for the benefit of users and developers), copyright laws are the tool that enforces that.

The term “copyleft” is just a meme.

Because it is copyright laundering, which is ilegal. We are just too early in the tech to have it established. But see cases open against Microsoft’s Copilot.

I recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pW-SOdj4Kkk on this topic.

it doesn’t need a keylogger. Just needs a Videocall meeting, a Discord call meanwhile you type to a public call, a recording of you on youtube streaming and demoing something… etc.

it’s complex to make dozens of technologies work together under an umbrella (Matrix). Particularly when those technologies have a vetted interest in not being interoperable.

There are companies that provide an offering with Matrix, e.g https://www.beeper.com

Rocket.chat started using the Matrix protocol and became federated on June last year, so you can use both ;)

I typed b i t c h. It sucks that it got censored. It maybe depends on the community mods (I hope) or the instance…

It will not matter if it is open source but it is backed into the HW. You will be their removed anyways with no way to change it.
