Well, we are in the lemmy subforum named “open source” so its implied.
Could be, theres a lot of speculation on the open issue in the ventoy github.
the paper is no longer online, I cant access it.
That license looks selfbuilt! Oh no…
Heh. Lunatic. Good alternative name!
I suppose. But I think, minetest as a project was strengthend by its proximity to minecraft. The big reason you pick up luanti is that its like minecraft, but free and with more modding freedom. I dont think this is bad thing to be reflected in a name. But good luck to them, maybe they can pull the name change off without hurting their public recognition too much.
Im always sceptical of name changes, because you trade a somewhat widespread known project name in for …nothing.
To sum up from the other discussion: the dev disappeared 5 months ago in china (i think), and appeared suddenly, speaking only in Chatgpt responses, to defend the use of opaque proprietary components in the software. Dont use Ventoy.
Theres also zulip, but I havent tried it yet, but its supposedly open source discord, but you have to host the server yourself I think.
Yes, go on, let NVIDIA buy intel. Let them buy AMD too. What could go wrong. I love monopolies! /s
…Recent laws in Japan have criminalized console and game modding, as well as save file editing…
WHAT? why?..what???
Yeah, it definitly tells me something, namely that I should not use the tool.
Why would news publish articles about the code quality of the tool, instead of its functionality?
Now they have negative press about its closed source nature, which is a calculated risk they took, just to open source it soon anyway? I doubt it.
but… you dont have to accept contributions? you can just make it open source and tidy it up at the same time?
then why make it closed source to begin with?
sounds great! I hope this gets some traction, because the official wayland protocols are so dead slow that its not even funny anymore. for example the wayland hdr protocol, open for 4 years now: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/14
Stuff like yuzu that gets taken down for mostly bs reasons. If the EU’s insane chat control law passes, you can go to jail for providing encrypted communications software. By then we might need something like this. Dark times.
I think it would. Its still a bad idea to allow proprietary modules though. It also allows for EEE shenanigans. I hope they reconsider.
Just to clarify, licenses are free software or open source when they fit the definition of those terms, aka the 4 freedoms and whatever open source requires, but both require being able to use the software without restrictions. So this isnt open source.
