94·20 days agogo against their spirit
I think this is more of a failure of the license itself. It’s not a good look to allow something explicitly and then go “no not like that!”
For professionals used to Photoshop, yes it is that bad. People want what’s familiar because they’re used to it and they’re busy or lazy. They don’t want to learn something new.
If GIMP wanted to increase their userbase by a million overnight, they would make it look more like Photoshop.
The problem is they and many current users are huge FOSS zealots and see this kind of thing akin to selling your soul to the devil.
except gaia is one of the largest forums on earth.
they have more subscribers than Apple TV+
I think if syncing of (at least) upstream histories between clones was done automatically, they might consider that more in-line with their definition of decentralized.
Also kudos to both of you for communicating your differences properly without resorting to arguments.
I feel like so much of the arguing and trolling nowadays is simply due to a difference in subjective definitions and people not being able to calmly communicate that with each other.
19·1 month agoReminder that sites like israel.tv are still “illegal” to visit and all US ISPs are forced to block it, even though this directly contradicts Net Neutrality.
licenses are only as useful as your ability to enforce them in court
it’s not really “open source” anymore per OSI, specifically #6: https://opensource.org/osd
He claims to have gotten permission from the contributors… not sure where you heard that they didn’t.
for some reason a lot of emudevs are very hostile to the whole idea of forking. mame also famously hates retroarch for it, as well as inolen from redream and skmp from reicast/nullcast, probably more.
this isn’t even the first project that an emudev has directly relicensed or even shut down their entire emulator for over a retroarch fork, which is usually done in the first place due to maintenance problems with the original emudev.
as others have said, the whole scene just seems to attract the kind of genius that too often steps over that fine line. out of the probably couple dozen emudevs I know, the vast majority have explicitly stated themselves that they suffer from severe mental health issues.

also almost every /vg/emugen thread is full of “danny drama”
For good privacy (from fingerprinting) it is undoubtedly a bad choice.
I’m really surprised servers have not started by default limiting and/or vetting who can federate with them. I know many Lemmy instances block many other instances from federating with them, but only after learning about what a lot of their content is. To me this practice kinda creates a very fragmented “which wind would you like to piss into” problem.
People don’t know about what they don’t hear about
Some people take the initiative to learn things on their own though. I suppose we’re not their target audience however.
Everyone has a different opinion on what that means, some people get really angry when you don’t use their (or some other group’s) explicit definition of the term “open source” that nobody actually owns. If they want it to mean something really specific, they should use a registered trade name with a defined meaning. But that usually implies some kind of capitalism at work, which most FOSS zealots are very much against.
How have I never heard about this one?
Have you read the reviews?
plot twist the poster is Empress
The problem is not everyone agrees on what exactly “editorialized” and “credible” means. You’re making the same arguments they would make against you.
