$843 million lawsuit against Valve already has its own website: "The Steam Claim" accuses the biggest store in PC gaming of "overcharging" players
  • I see what Vicky is attempting to do. But there's nothing stopping publishers from going over to the Epic Games Store for example and selling their content there. Valve does nothing to suppress competition (it can't really either), the competition is just bad.

  • The Immich core team goes full-time | Immich
  • For the license to be changed every team member needs to submit a written agreement that he agrees to the change, otherwise their contributions must be removed as they were written under a different license, the only exception is usually permissive licenses such as MIT/BSD 3 clause.

    Usually, to rugpull FOSS contributors, companies who maintain FOSS software ask contributors to sign a CLA which waives their rights and lets the control their contributions. Immich isn’t doing any of that, and it will likely remain AGPL forever because changing the license will be a big hassle for them with the amount of contributors.

  • ByteDance prefers TikTok shutdown in US if legal options fail, sources say
  • It’s a scare tactic. You as a customer won’t care if the business gets a new owner but if they threaten to shut down all the kids they have will start kicking and screaming to make the government dial back the decision.

  • Do you donate to FOSS projects?

    Hello.

    Although we pirate for various reasons (ideology, no money to spend on entertainment, etc.) I wanted to know if the community actually donates money to any FOSS project? Nearly all of us use a torrent client based on libtorrent (qBit, Transmission, Deluge) or an open source Usenet client such as SABnzbd to consume our pirated content, yet I wonder, how many people here donate to FOSS projects?

    I donated 15 euro to KDE in the past, as well as 10 euro to qBittorrent to keep the projects alive. I think that software that respects it's users deserves to be rewarded for doing so. What is your opinion?

    Looking for a studying mate

    Hey everyone, I'm looking for a studying mate so that we can compare each other's code etc. I have a course from work for JS (it's not mandatory) but I feel like if it's any attempt I tried in the past, without anyone to study with I will mostly end up neglecting in a few days.

    Which is why I'm reaching out to hopefully find someone who is on the same technical level as me to enrich our knowledge. A bit about myself: I'm a full time SysAdmin with some background knowledge in bash/python/powershell (not making any GUI apps or anything like that, just work related scripts) and I self host a few applications for myself and therefore I don't consider myself a complete beginner.

    Private message me, I'm available on both Discord and Matrix.

    Most of My Instagram Ads Are for Drugs, Stolen Credit Cards, Hacked Accounts, Counterfeit Money, and Weapons

    The ads are a window into a blatantly illegal underground economy that Meta is not only failing to moderate, but is actively profiting from and injecting into users’ feeds.

    Non-cloud vacuum meta for 2023

    As the title suggests, I'm in the market for a vacuum that doesn't phone home, not even for initial setup (if possible). This is my first time stepping into home automation so I'm not familiar with the various FOSS projects in the space. I'm comfortable with modding/rooting the vacuum so throw your suggestions, I'll research them.

    How to Usenet?

    Hello,

    I tried in the past to wrap my head around usenet, and I bought access to some news downloader (iirc it was called that way not sure, but it was Eweka) and tried using it, the problem was that every download I tried to get was dead on arrival (link being dead, failing to verify file integrity) yet so many people on piracy forums swear by Usenet and claim that for ~$60 a year they get a much more superior experience than torrents, and yet, I currently torrent everything with no issues at all.

    The reason for trying Usenet that when attempting to search some less popular TV shows/movies, I could not always find it in the quality I wanted to see, and therefore decided to give it a try.

    Any suggestions?

    Your RSS feeds

    So I set up TT-RSS the other day and it's generally nice, the only problem is I'm trying to find feeds that are interesting more or less. For example, we all enjoy watching TV, right? So I took the TV OPML from awesome-rss-feeds on GH and applied it, and was not amused. I don't watch that many television and I very quickly realized that none of the content in those feeds applies to me at all, so I removed it.

    Basically, where are the amateur hour feeds? 😅
