The paid option would require a CLA, wouldn't it?

I agree that it's better than the "open core" model because it limits by time rather than space, as they say, but it kinda misses the point of open-source software. The conflict of interest is that they effectively want to be the only ones who can profit off the software, while still benefiting from the free work of others, but commercial-use is within the open-source definition.

My real issue is that it seems like they're trying to spin it as a kind of "open-source", but it's not. If they were more up-front about that, I probably wouldn't care as much.

Also saying that it's less restrictive than copyleft is just outright false.

free-riding

If you're gonna have that kind of attitude, then you don't really care about user freedom.

Yes but the advantage of Linux over windows is obvious. It's open source. Where's the advantage of FreeBSD? Companies can make their own proprietary fork and give nothing back?

I do agree with you that 4-clause BSD is open-source, but only just barely, and I agree with GP that it goes against the spirit of FOSS even if it is technically "open-source".

Plus the advertising clause is just an obnoxious thing to have in a license regardless.

after 90 days, they just send the BAT back to you. They don't keep it.

As someone who currently uses a note-taking app with tags, I'd highly recommended adding that as a feature if it's not out of scope. I couldn't imagine going back to taking notes without tags. It makes organization so much simpler.

How does this compare to waifu2x for anime-style images? Does it manage to beat it, or is this more for photos?

edit: it looks like it's much better

recent exploit (lemmy.comfysnug.space)
 

Did you hear about that exploit? The one that got lemmy.world hacked? Does it affect here?

I doubt someone would really try it with here since this instance is so small, but I don't know how big of a security issue the exploit is.

Here's an update from lemmy.world https://lemmy.world/post/1287082 (I don't know how to do instance specific links)

I second the recommendation. I know a lot of people don't like the browser (although I find that a lot of that dislike comes somewhat misleading rumors or stories) but the search engine really doesn't have anything to do with the browser except that it's by the same company. I often switch between it and Duck Duck Go, and I don't use Brave browser.

There's many different reasons (all of them ignorant or blatantly made in bad faith) but one that I recall off the top of my head is that, since Linux gives users more freedom and more control over their operating system and computer, playing on Linux makes it easier for you to cheat in games. They like that in Windows, there's parts of the system that Microsoft simply doesn't allow users to touch, because in some cases, they still can, so they can use that to implement things like ~~rootkits~~ sorry I mean "kernel-level anti-cheat" that users have no effective way of removing or bypassing.

Isn't Mumble voice chat only? It's not really a full replacement.

This and that other post that linked to a post from Snoosite makes me think that having a /r/LearnJapanese equivalent here would be cool. I would make it myself, but I already have my learning method pretty thoroughly figured out, so I wouldn't really have many ideas for posts to contribute.

frozen active and hot sort? (lemmy.comfysnug.space)
 

I noticed that when I sort by active or hot, it looks like the results have been staying completely the same for a past week or so, even when new posts are being made and getting comments and votes. Even on the "all" page, active and hot appear to be stuck. I checked a few other Lemmy instances, and their active and hot sorts seem to be fine, so I don't think it's a bug in the software.
