I'm of an opposite mind. I reckon the author wrote this in the dip, and we'll see a rebound soon where FOSS is strengthened by anti-AI sentiments.

We need to stop being agnostic, draw a line, and begin rejecting any genAI involvement in open source before it’s actually too late.

exactly.

    Unfortunately it's not that easy. The copyright owner can do what they want, the license is what everyone else gets it under. The owner can always relicense.

    That's why projects with a CLA that takes away contributors ownership is are not true open source. With that, the control stays with the project, usually the company.

    In true open source, contributors license their additions to the project and other contributors under gpl, so not even the original creator of the project has the rights. Everyone is bound by the license because noone owns the whole.

    OpenRadioss project as the open-source version opened up by Altair Engineering under the GNU AGPL License back in 2022

    GNU AGPL? They better be sued. The license doesn't allow being closed source, unlike the cuck licenses.

    Very nice. I have been using open office and Libre Office for more then a decade, but lately the anti user stance the LO team is taking or comfortable in keeping up is draining me. I tried some only office and found some simple things were immediately better (UI scaling/general UX). Interesting to see where they both will land.

    I'm thankful for the project.

    I spend 4.5 hours in dialysis, three days per week.

    I was previously using a family Youtube membership provided by a friend. They recently killed my access for geographic reasons, thus meaning that I couldn't play the playlist I normally play without leaving my phone screen on, killing my battery.

    So I used yt-dlp to download the playlist and put it on my phone, using VLC to play it now.

    Fuck these people who want to shut that project down. Youtube is getting money for a service I was using and can no longer.

    Be like Valve/Steam. Make it easy to give you money and make the service better than piracy, not worse.

    I just finished Enshitification by Cory Doctorow.

    In it, he points out that your right to record what is on TV for your personal use was hard won and completely legal only for it to later be uninvented.

    And now we're back to debating if it's legal.

    A Git repository is primarily for tracking the human-readable source code of your project, tracking changes to those text files over time. In the past few hours you appear to have deleted all of that.

    If you are publishing only binary build artefacts and not the source to build them? You will not get much interest from programmers.

    Lol. What's with the github repo? You don't use regular version control? I'm just at my phone and wanted to check it out, but not sure if I want to download a 139MB file and a Zip extraction app. Is there source code and info how to build it in the zipfile or somewhere?

    Well they did leave out a lot of important information.

    This site seems pretty good though: https://gpg.fail/
    It has all the given vulnerabilities in text.

    Now just need to read and understand all of them and find out which one explains the above comment and the answer to my question is probably another headache.
