@tyil synapse is a lost cause. I kind of lost any hope that the situation will improve. I briefly had the idea to engage in the developing. But that was very quickly depressing.At least it isn't the worst software in that category. That title goes to Wire. :)

@tyil I use it with some colleagues for group chatting.Pro: Everything is open source and you don't need a phone number for setup (which was an important aspect for us in this case).Contra: It isn't federated. The Android client has an abysmal UX. *Every* interaction (replying, scrolling) resulted in crashes or weird behavior. Every time I wrote a message I had to restart the app. Invalid scroll states are also a thing: Then it crashes till someone writes a message.

@anornymorse @tyil A new instance doesn't magically solve all problems. I did run an instance myself on decent hardware and still had problems. You could doubt my abilities to administrate my own server but even the matrix team has always problems. I mean they even had to abandon their main channel once because it was "corrupted".How should Matrix improve if nobody acknowledges that problems exists?

@tyil @velartrill I don't copyleft my code. In what way am I brainwashed? ... I have no problem with others earning money while utilizing one of my small libs. Earning money isn't inherently evil. Also keep in mind that you all were shitty devs once.

@tyil @velartrill I didn't say that GPL does prohibit you making any money. I only said that I don't have a problem that others get money while utilizing my code.My current practice is to use Apache license for libs and GPL for bigger projects. Keep in mind that GPL can cause funny problems regarding libs: https://trac.xapian.org/wiki/LicensingBeing pragmatic apparently means that I am the one who is brainwashed.

@tyil @velartrill Perhaps the only reason you can think of. I doubt you can possibly know all the intentions and reasons why someone wrote something. If you think you can, you should probably reassess your abilities. That you imply malice and don't consider incompetence or an inability to convey a point as a possible reason kind of supports this assumption.To explain what I wanted to convey with that line: I didn't want to imply that you can't make any money with GPL software. This was only to give context for the question on what my personal view is. And quite frankly: I have no problem if some mediocre developer uses my lib in a corporate setting and redistributing it in binary form. I kind of have something against that if the lib gets modified and then redistributed but usually most companies won't do something like this because that mediocre developer don't want to fork and maintain the lib internally.I shouldn't have used "earn money" to convey that message. But that's hindsight and the previous messages in this discussion weren't free from over simplified assertions either. ;)> I'm also pretty sure I didn't call anyone brainwashedYou didn't... @velartrill did> but I do agree that using permissive licenses *generally* don't help in making open source the standardI don't agree to any generalization of the problem. This is much, much more complex that you shouldn't break it down like that:https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2013/7/23/licensing/

@tyil @velartrill over simplified always means factually wrong. I won't defend my statement which I only nonchalantly did to provide context. You are correct that what it can imply is wrong. But it wasn't the main point and derails from the point I primarily wanted to make: Calling others brainwashed because they came to a different conclusion on an ideologically very complex subject. Which somehow nobody bothers.

@tyil @velartrill "Freedom" is a very ideologically loaded word and hasn't universally the same meaning everywhere. If you don't want to harm users there are also GPL incompatible licenses which prohibit certain uses. I for once hate everything which involves copyright and the complexities it involves. Restricting GPL further to force your ideology on others only worsens the implications and license incompatibilities and the amount we have to deal with copyright increases. Which also harms open source and free software because it harms collaboration.Think about it: What will happen if I create a license which allows the use only if you live vegan for at least 2 months. Because the food industry currently harms society which in turn harms the uses. Where do you draw the boundary?

@tyil @velartrill Arch wikis explains the differences in philosophy quite good in my opinion: "with Arch taking a more principled stance in favor of architectural simplicity"https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_compared_to_other_distributions#Gentoo/Funtoo_Linux

@tyil @velartrill I had bad experiences with both of them. Especially regarding stability I have some horror stories. For example: 7 Years ago portage once deleted my whole home dir because of a bug. (which was triggered under very special circumstances with an already half corrupted disk)Nevertheless I don't think that quality wise they are that much different. I probably only had bad luck. Currently I prefer Arch because I don't like to tinker with the system in ever minute detail over and over again. But it was fun while I had the time and desire to do that.

@tyil @velartrill Most unlikely. If there is system in place there was always a reason someone thought it was necessary. That could be historic reasons or design goals. TCP is a state machine which has to sync state with remote systems. For a network of systems it would be bad to just throw connections away without notice.

@kline I completely agree. It's kind of sad that most people only consider the ideological aspect of the debate while dismissing that there are also reasons a pragmatic approach might benefit open source/free software.

@mia @kline In my opinion that counter argument (which dismisses his view/arguments completely) is lacking in nuance. Name calling and classifying others ("techbro" - which basically just boils down to: someone I don't sympathize with) is also very inappropriate.I don't see the point in debating here if nobody is willing to question their own view.

@tyil @Hawk1291 that form only helps if you are in their spam list. If you are running your own mail server you must be really careful that you follow every convention (HELO, Non dynamic IP with correct PTR, SPF, DKIM, DMARC). Also for your reputation you usually only want to send emails which are actually read by the recipients and you never want to send emails suddenly in bulk. Also showing presence and adding yourself to dnswl might also help for some email providers. Microsoft has something similar to dnswl: https://sendersupport.olc.protection.outlook.com/snds/addnetwork.aspxAnd after all that your reputation can still be hurt by others who share the datacenter. That's why I would never recommend OVH for hosting email servers. Because their reputation is pretty bad in that regard.

@jine Diversity and inclusion at it finest: "Remove those 'tech bros' from technology. Their thoughts are wrong in our culture they shouldn't exist."Don't you realize that you are currently categorizing other humans and perceiving them as a enemy?
