Sexy Moon (moon@shitposter.club)'s status on Thursday, 19-Oct-2023 03:05:37 JST Sexy Moon I actually think that louis just did what he had to do to make that app, it sucks because I'm a free software extremist in spirit but sometimes you just gotta bomb a hospital. -

SuperDicq (superdicq@minidisc.tokyo)'s status on Thursday, 19-Oct-2023 03:12:15 JST SuperDicq @Moon@shitposter.club That aside I understand his concern that someone will fork the app, add malware and upload it to the play store, like what happened to NewPipe.
It's good to be concerned about that I still stand by my opinion that he's using the wrong tool for the job. He could've done this using trademarks for example, so if someone does make a malware infested fork, it won't affect the public perception of the original project because it will have to have a completely different name and logo.Sexy Moon likes this. -

In 2016 this sort of crap happened so much on fdroid, it was insane.
>He could've done this using trademarks for example

Dumb Idiot Retard (idiot@shitposter.club)'s status on Thursday, 19-Oct-2023 06:02:19 JST Dumb Idiot Retard @Moon Everyone's the asshole in this situation. I get the free software purity, but the problem with the GPL is that it assumes that everyone's honorable and every user gets it. Louis came at it from the perspective of "these cocksuckers aren't honorable and the users are fucking retarded" and came to the conclusion he did. I get where he's coming from, I get where the free software people are coming from. Ultimately I don't think it's enough but I think his heart's in the right place. They'll still rip the applications off because it's possible and the law can't reach them where they live. Will the users suffer as a result? Probably not if you git clone/pull early and often enough, but who knows. Sexy Moon likes this.
