@dwaltiz
Have they released source code under a free license?

@icedquinn
I addressed this in the second part of the OP and it was the main point of that post.

OK, but you know what I mean. In Jami the voice/ video is hosted by whoever initiates it, but we still call it distributed, not centralized. Being able to join a conference using our choice of client, connected via our choice of server, would be federated conference. Even if the conference was hosted on whichever server it was initiated on.

"We could tear out the infection. Twitter without ads is not hard to imagine. It looks different, it loads faster, and it does not sell your attention. Communities would still use it to organize."

Those of us in the #fediverse know what it looks like, we're using it right now ;)

"YouTube without ads loads faster ..."

Like #PeerTube or #LBRY.tv

"... but the absence of ad money would deprive its contributor base of their income."

#Liberapay? #OpenCollective? #KoFi? #Patreon?

If there's one thing the current situation highlights, it's that there is no mature free code software for federated voice/ video conferencing. There are centralized stacks that are fairly mature (Jitsi Meet, BBB), and distributed solutions that are still bleeding edge (Jami, Tox). But I'm not aware of anything federated in this space. Riot voice/ video depends on Jitsi Meet, and Jabber still offers nothing for voice/ video.

@gudenau enlightenment ;)

@spoggy I have added #Agora to the AP watchlist for fediverse.party:

Where can I find source code? What license(s) covers the code? What language(s) is it written in?

@yogthos the key word there is "generic". As originally used, "capitalism" was a comparison to feudalism and intended as a criticism. In the last 50 years or so, it's been so regularly misused to describe the political-economic system used in liberal democracies (private property, free enterprise, markets etc) that this common usage is now a legitimate meaning too. When a word comes to mean something *and* its opposite, it's effectively meaningless, and serves only to derail debate. I avoid it.

I thought Firejail was proprietary. Turns out it's free code under the GPLv2:
https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/blob/master/COPYING

Could there be more than one program called #Firejail that does the same thing?

@wolf480pl I think Taiga is intended as a free code re-implementation of Trello? As for the charge for self-hosted, I think they mean you administrate it, on their hosting, as opposed to them administrating it for you (which costs more, as you'd expect).

Depending on the nature of your project, there are many, many options other than GH, GL.com, or self-hosting. Some examples:

Huh? These are basic tools.

This is one of the advantages of #SourceHut over most of the other forge platforms (Savannah, GH, GL, #GitTea, etc), you can interact with some aspects of a repo just by sending email, without needing an account on the server. After all, an account on a website just means that you're (probably) a human with a working email address.
