The whole #KeePassXC#Debian thing is kinda giving me second thoughts wrt. the whole #Linux distro and #opensource packaging thing in general. My understanding of the implied agreement between me as a dev and a distro's package maintainer is: the maintainer, to the best of their ability, tries to make my software work "as intended". In return, they get to publish it under my software's name.
That's clearly not how Debian views things. And I can't accept distros publishing broken sw w/ my name.
Are there any license or additional legal document I can include in my #foss / #opensource software to ensure that people can't redistribute modified versions under the same name? Sorta like what Firefox was doing which lead to the name IceWeasel for a time. I'd want forks to be okay and everything, just not unauthorized redistribution under the same name. Must I register a trade mark..?
Thanks #Debian for forcing me to think about this sort of stuff! Why can't we just not be assholes #law
I feel disgusting saying this, but until #CreativeCommons gets their heads out of their asses or the "AI" bubble finally bursts, ALL of my #art assets, visual, audio or otherwise, will have to be copyrighted with all rights reserved. As far as I can tell, GPL and its derivatives are strictly designed for code, as well as the BSD, MIT and all other #OpenSource or #copyleft licenses. If I'm wrong, I will consider those.
After using @ente for several months as an alternative to Google Photos, I highly recommend making the switch. It's a fantastic Android app with excellent customer support and is open-source! #openSource 👏
In this one, #Nvidia plans to use their open source drivers as the default, we have more details about @system76 Cosmic Desktop,a nasty attack vector that can bypass your #VPN without you knowing, plus #Valve contributing to Nvidia drivers now!
Most forks fail because you need a core developer to maintain the project
There are dozens of misskey forks, and most of them fail after a few months or a year (calckey ->firefish)
You can't just fork something and live off hopes and dreams
This is why I believe it's in my best interest as the core maintainer of Pixelfed to work with our community as much as possible to eliminate the need for a fork
Such a vibe when you reach this, I love it, fuck egos, we all equals, lets goooo 🚀
