@SuperDicq remember left-pad? Remember all the other times that a fully open source developer tried to defend their work, and it was taken from them?Nah man, hes taking steps to make sure he doesnt get fisted like the others. Sure, its not FOSS, but it is open source, and thats a layer of trust no corp will ever give.If you dont take steps to protect your work, the world will take it from you, resell it, then punish you for daring say you helped.

@SuperDicq "What layer of trust? Clearly Louis does not trust us at all, or he would've not chosen such a restrictive license."You didn't understand what i meant"Yes, I do. I found the reasons for the developer doing what they did very petty and stupid."Yeah, and i bet you think that one guy starving and letting his life fall to pieces in the name of open source software deserved to be cut out of his own lifes work and thrown on the street.(1/2)

@SuperDicq Copyleft does not prevent corps from taking what you made, corrupting it, and using it for their own profit."Why is that a bad thing? Other people deserve to make money too, right?"This is how inventors starve. This is WHY inventors starve.The simple fact is, no one wants a thumb in the eye for making something for the world.Your statements are hyperbolic at best, misleading lies at worst

@SuperDicq @kirby@lab.nyanide.com yes, beg more for help, so you can continue to be referred to as a leech while you starve on the streets

@SuperDicq @kirby@lab.nyanide.com this isn't a good-faith discussion anymore, you're twisting half of what i say to make me seem more outrageous than i am.People deserve to eat, and protect their own well being

@SuperDicq "I believe that publishing your software as free software does not impact your ability to eat. "Then you aren't paying attention to the world around you man.I'm tired of hearing about open source devs starving and having their packages taken from them when they ask for money. i'm tired of hyperbolic black and white binary screeching of people who think that if you don't do everything the right way you're evil.Evil exists, and this aint it. This is self defense

@Decentralize calling graphene a google free experience is misleading. It demands a google made phone with no support outside of them

@Decentralize wasn't saying that to diminish any other facet of what you said. Google calling android a massive tracking device comically hypocritical.But having just tried to look into this "amazing ungoogled experience" only to find that it was explicitly limited to google made phones, and not my plebian phone was a sharp experience.You wanna hold up an ungoogled android you point at lineage, they aren't huffing their own farts

@Decentralize okay, so an ungoogled android simply does not exist then."Even it uses a google phone."No, it *supports*. it does not *require*.I can install it on my motos.https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/I *cannot* install grapheneI'm not buying a pixel. Not gonna happen. I'm not spending 400-500$ and giving it to the worst corp on the planet right now. And that's more than twice what i'd pay for a smart phone besides.Graphene only supports pixels. So it only supports google hardware.

@Decentralize neither of these even come close to addressing the problem of giving google huge amounts of money for their hardware, or the lack of support for any non-google hardware

@Decentralize setting the bar that high for anyone who wants a smartphone that isn't spying on them is a good way to make people think you don't give a shit about people without money. You come off as elitist. I wont die on the hill of lineage, i haven't even installed it, but you can't call graphene an ungoogled os until it can be installed on hardware google didn't make

@Decentralize signal shot themselves in the stomach when they dropped sms support.any hope of me getting anyone other than my boss to use it was instantly thrown in the garbage disposal.Security i can't get people to use is no security at all.You can maybe make the arguement that it's the easiest way, but you can't say "best". that's just nonsense when they only support google made phones.You almost had me though with that calculator till i saw the cost they're extorting for it
