Gotta catch 'em all

Hey guys, did you know…

No, it’s licence violates, well, pretty much the entire open source definition

Privacy is part of the reason I got back into film photography, my photos can’t be spied on if they never touch a computer.

Honestly surprised, i thought blu-ray m-disc was moderately popular

Frankly, I doubt he said anything worth listening to.

the tl;dr is: he asked nicely for the source code and they gave it to him?

It’s a shame they don’t embrace federation and open source more, the drama it would create would be fun at least.

I don’t think you can simply say something tantamount to “I think you’re an evil person btw pls don’t reply” then act the victim because they replied.

If the CEO had been sending multiple e-mails etc, I would agree with you that it’s harassment, but from what I can see at any point the blogger could have just disengaged, but he seemed more interested in getting the last word in.

I agree, both of them seem like a bit of a dick.

Although the blogger doesn’t appear to be a journalist, so things like “right to reply” doesn’t legally apply, it still seems like like basic good manners to offer that to someone if you write a hit piece on them. The comment section on blogs were traditionally a good tool for that, but the blogger seems to decided to not have one on his site.

Shrinkflation strikes again

Shitty DRM is still DRM.

It’s amazing that a company who’s primary product is a DRM system managed to make so many people think they’re the “good guys”

I’d probably use it if it had a clippy skin tbh.

Normally I’d agree, but it doesn’t actually seem to be advertised as open source.

That said, it’s still IMO a terrible licence for code, the “share alike” doesn’t require sharing source code at all, because it’s not designed for code.

That thread was posted three months ago, so I assume this was a recent change.

Looks like it doesn’t. https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/18a2624/now_that_rocketchat_65_limits_to_25_users_or_less/

Given what they’ve recently started doing I don’t think I would recommend it now, however.

It’s self hostable, they have a docker file.

what about rocket chat? https://www.rocket.chat/

Does this mean third party apps will be able to interact with whatsapp?
