Wait, was the any doubt about a conservative majority even before this result?

From the post:
Whether it’s a local or a cloud-based model, if you want to use AI, we think you should have the freedom to use (or not use) the tools that best suit your needs
Open source alternative to Adobe Lightroom
For that use case, go syncthing. Nextcloud would be overkill. I run both, I use syncthing for my personal files and Nextcloud when they should be shared with others.
I don’t hate Apple in terms of privacy. I hate Apple for a myriad of other reasons. Mostly related to locked down ecosystems.
Certain events like marathon swimming and triathlon can’t be done in a pool.
It’s a fantastic idea in principle. We’ve just neglected the most important ingredient: oversight
Ah, yeah I guess you can’t browse your photos using a file system view. I just meant that it won’t automatically reorganize your pictures on the file system.
However you can create albums via an API call. You could probably write a script that adds each folder to an album or something.
It definitely can, it’s called an “external library”. I just added my entire photo collection and use Immich as a frontend to view them all
Yeah that’s fair… Bad example :p
It’s like a vicious cycle:
AI is going to make it so much worse. You’ll soon be in the top 5% if you have a keyboard app installed on your phone.
If you want to be mad at someone, be mad based on wealth and power, not age.
Ugh
I fully agree with everything you said. I too have contributed countless hours to open source for personal enjoyment or for the good of the community and never been paid a cent.
The thing I lament is this sense I’ve seen in some circles that accepting donations or getting paid is somehow shameful. That the mere act of being compensated somehow diminishes the contribution. You can be paid and do it for the love of coding and do it for the benefit of everyone.
Everyone has the right to refuse payment, and people who do’s wishes need to be respected. And I don’t know the beliefs of the Jellyfin devs. But to me, a post like this feeds into that vague feeling that being paid somehow makes your contributions less “pure” or “desirable”, than if you’re solely doing it for fun or selfless reasons.
It’s my strong belief that for open source alternatives to truly take off and go toe to toe with big tech, there needs to be a robust funding model underpinning it. If we as a community even see accepting donations as somehow “lesser than”, what chance do we have of ever getting there?
Who are these people who think it’s unethical to get paid for your work? It blows my mind that that could even be an accusation.
Oh for sure. I don’t think anyone is arguing that they don’t have the right to ask people to stop sending them money. But we can still criticize that position. I’m not sure they’ve thought through the message they are sending.
Yeah exactly. I’m calling BS that the thrill of the chase is the main motivator. Maybe it is for a handful, but for the most part people just like to be dickheads.
How can costs only be $600 / month. Do they not pay themselves? I guess that’s admirable, but it doesn’t set a good precedent. Will any young developers read this and internalize that they shouldn’t ask for money? OSS maintainers deserve to get paid for their efforts.
Then why not prove you can do it and then shut the bot down?
I get the principled reason to do this. But most people aren’t set up to pirate. And even if they were, it’s inconvenient to have games not attached to their steam library. I don’t think anyone should deprive themselves of this masterpiece.
If the prospect of pirating is holding you back, just buy it. The game is too good to miss out
