If you go with copy-left you automatically disqualify some major institutions from using your software. Especially for a community based project, there may be institutions that want to make proprietary extensions so it can integrate better with their existing infrastructure.

Generally I think MIT is a good default and you should only use a different license if you have a strong case for why MIT doesn't make sense for your project.

As the author you can always re-release the code under MIT but once it's released under MIT corporations can whole sale rip your work off for their own profit. If you keep it closed source or GPL it then you maintain some breathing room from another company just swooping in and monetizing you code for their profit.

I'm still confused on why facebook needs to be an app at all. They should just make the mobile browser version of their website the best way to experience facebook and then have people add the facebook mobile website to their home screen.

Isn't it a conflict of interest for Dorsey to make such a market moving purchase, as an agent of Square, in an asset that he is personally invested in? I guess we'll have to wait and see the rationale of the purchase. If it's to facilitate payments on their platform, then no biggie.

CEO's do this all the time with the US dollar and no one blinks an eye.

Uploading to Sia's Skynet, then emailing or texting the link.

I’ve found Sia to be quite good. Their “skynet” system is really cool.

ScPrime has been looking really good too!

Hopefully something like DTube (https://d.tube/) is able to disrupt the Youtube market soon. This google censorship stuff is getting ridiculous.

I've had smart phones for over a decade, and a mobile phone for 2, I can't think of any point when I've needed water resistance.

I have however had a smashed screen once, and the bigger a phone is, the harder it is to hold, the more likely the screen will smash

The old macbooks were great with the maglock power lead not pulling them off the desk. I believe new ones have downgraded the connector?

The app store is a worse monopoly than IE ever was on Windows and should be treated with in the same fashion.

I ended up at https://github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia and there's no activity in the last two years, the latest issues are a few "you broke my wallet with the update and my password doesn't work" from 2018.
really3452 · 6 years ago
Yeah, they moved to gitlab: https://gitlab.com/NebulousLabs/Sia
