That AIPAC money hit different though
  • Ethnostates are not democracies. Also, Israel is doing everything it can to drag the US into a war in the middle east because of the whole genocide and antagonizing Iran and Lebanon thing. So yeah, not a very good democracy or strategic ally.

  • Is there any proprietary Android app for which you wish there would be an open-source alternative?
  • Not pedantic at all. Google lied about RCS being an open standard.

    The pedantic point would be saying that RCS, the protocol, is technically open, but the specific implementation that Google is pushing and being adopted is proprietary 🤓

    So yeah. Totally fair point and fuck Google for their RCS bait-and-switch.

  • Don't get me wrong: BW is still a pretty good service, and the proprietary code is still readable by anyone, but the fact that they're moving a bunch of their previously open source licensed code to something that's source available is definitely unfortunate.

    KeePass, on the other hand, has tons of actually open source clients, which definitely gives them an edge for people that don't mind syncing their own DB.

  • Bitwarden. Most people think that their application is open source, but more and more of their code has shifted from the GPL/AGPL licensed code to code in their SDK, which is under a proprietary license. This led to their new Android app being disqualified from being hosted in F-Droid repos.

    Keyguard was supposed to be an open source Bitwarden client, but the dev chose to use a custom proprietary license, so that is source available as well.

  • Geeze. You literally just refuse to acknowledge sources when they're handed to you. That is just sad.

    And if you think that anyone chose to be in some of the worst working conditions known to man just because they can choose between quitting and starving to death, then I'd say that's downright ghoulish.
