@rick @SuperDicq @sun Its about his first stop killing games video. After that he started talking about money and how everyone who sign it could easily donate money which is just an idiotic take.Louis Rossman has never done something out of conviction, everything he did, benefited him money in the end. As an example, the whole right to repair movement is great, altho he pushed that not for the reason that private people do have more rights, he pushed it because its his business to do so.

As an example, the whole right to repair movement is great, altho he pushed that not for the reason that private people do have more rights, he pushed it because its his business to do so.This is a funny natural consequence of him being self-effacing. He's willing to call his motivations and convictions self-interest, so self-righteous people judge him by their own standards and say he must be a real piece of work. Much like people who always play up their skills will assume someone who plays them down is actually playing them up as well, and we all know how well that works in hiring processes.

@birdulon@shpposter.club @Jain@blob.cat @rick@a.n0id.space @sun@shitposter.world I stopped seeing Louis Rossman as someone to be trusted as soon as he started distributing proprietary software together with FUTO, where they have their own "open source" definition that nobody else but them agrees with.It's absolutely disgusting.

@sun@shitposter.world @Jain@blob.cat @birdulon@shpposter.club @rick@a.n0id.space Yes, they actually claim that is because the models as defined by the FSF or even the OSI don't work and has never created any commercially successful software.Which is like just completely not true? The free software movement is like super successful? The entire world is running our software? How do they even arrive at this conclusion?FUTO also defends Eric S. Raymond, who is actually racist and homophobic to the point that his Wikipedia page just outright says so.Endorsing ESR honestly is something that Louis Rossman actually deserves to be cancelled over.

@SuperDicq @Jain @birdulon @rick @sun I don't have the time to watch the part 2 right now, but quickly skimming through the comments of it, it seems that exactly what I will happen happened. Louis outright should not be trusted with any of his software takes, because they dumb in many ways almost all the time.

@SuperDicq @hj @Jain @birdulon @rick they actually did it because open source projects get lifted and reskinned and monetized on the appstore which creates a reputational risk for the project. I am not saying there's no other way to handle that but I acknowledge it is a big problem

@sun @rick @Jain @SuperDicq @hj @birdulon A trademark for the name and a license like MPL that forces derivatives to use a different name is probably a much better solution than having a pseudo open-source license. They have the money to enforce both, so not doing that was in my eyes only a cost saving measure.

@sun@shitposter.world @hj@shigusegubu.club @Jain@blob.cat @birdulon@shpposter.club @rick@a.n0id.space Just release your software using a copyleft license because Apple doesn't allow copyleft in their crappy appstore in the first place.And if you're still scared of "reputational risks", you can simply use a trademark. And if you use a trademark please be clear to your users how to distribute the software without infringing on the trademark so you avoid the drama that some software has had like Rust or Firefox.

@sun@shitposter.world @hj@shigusegubu.club @Jain@blob.cat @birdulon@shpposter.club @rick@a.n0id.space Also this is not true. Greed also plays a big part in it because the license used by FUTO also specifically includes a clause that forbids you from modifying any code related to payments as well. They really want to make absolutely don't want anyone to make a single cent of their software while taking maximum profits for themselves. It's exploitation.

@SuperDicq @hj @Jain @rick @sun I think that's a fair lower bound. The other day I saw someone complaining that FOSS devs are too selfish and focused on their own needs, and that they shouldn't release it in the first place if they aren't going to put hypothetical potential users first; I think we're better off having it than not having it.

Just hire a developer to modify to make it fit your needs. It's not that hard. I'm available for hire btw, this is most of the work that I do. Modifying existing free software so that it fits the needs of my clients.

@SuperDicq @Jain @birdulon @rick @sun I seriously doubt that. If I had to guess: People probably accuse him of that for pointing out the historical collusions between pedo activists and gay rights activists, like when NAMBLA was a member of ILGA.As for the AIDS thing: It's true that gay men specifically were hit very hard due to an extremely sex liberal lifestyle that many had. That also makes it spread more to straight people when you have an unfaithful bisexual partner. (I know a woman who got HIV from her cheating bisexual husband.) This obviously doesn't justify any kind of blanket bigotry / group punishment against gay people. I wonder if ESR said anything to suggest that he really believes that kind of prejudice to be acceptable? Or was he accused of homophobia for mentioning uncomfortable facts about the AIDS epidemic and "libertine" gay sex culture?US police violence against black males is also one of those complicated topics where there's clearly some prejudices and racist cops at play, but then there's the rate of gun/gang violence in ghettos... Don't know much about that topic but what I do know is that it's yet another one of those topics where questioning parts of the liberal narrative can get you labeled quickly.Maybe I'll sit down and try to find some of his spicy blog posts later (thanks for pointing to his blog) and see if I can make up my mind. Right now I'm just being skeptical because I know how often such accusations are overblown.

@taylan@fedi.feministwiki.org @Jain@blob.cat @birdulon@shpposter.club @rick@a.n0id.space @sun@shitposter.world The notion that NAMBLA was not controversial even within ILGA is wrong. NAMBLA also got booted from ILGA very quickly. The notion that gay people support pedophilia is a very old myth.It's true that gay men specifically were hit very hard due to an extremely sex liberal lifestyle that many had.Yes, but it's a failing of government to not properly treat and cure people. It should be trivial contain diseases even with people who live a sex liberal lifestyle, but it didn't happen because of homophobia.but then there's the rate of gun/gang violence in ghettosThe crime statistics are real. I'm not denying that. But guess who is responsible for crime rates to increase in black communities and ghettos to exist in the first place? It's not black people themselves.

@adiz @rick @Jain @SuperDicq @hj @sun @birdulon I don't remember the full details but I think the problem is that, to publish in the app store, your app must link against proprietary code components. A web search for "Apple app store GPL license" should yield some detailed explanations. Could also ask an LLM, because it's a widely known issue.

@taylan @rick @Jain @SuperDicq @adiz @hj @sun @birdulon apple requires that all software on the cr...app store is distributed under a certain kind of proprietary license; https://www.fsf.org/news/2010-05-app-store-compliance and last time I checked it was not possible to more than temporarily install software onto iOS without downloading it from the cr...app store (if you purchase a macbook like a good slave and jump through all the hoops, you can compile and install custom software onto iOS that stops working after a month).Rather than running proprietary software and SaaSS, you just do a web search with site:fsf.org or site:gnu.org
