If I was a dev I'd make Apple users pay 100 bucks to buy a fedi client binary.
You want source code? Oh sorry, your brand doesn't allow GPL protected software on their "app store", try getting the client on a platform that doesn't bully everyone involved with it.

The one distributed directly via the iOS store is not GPL.
Why? Because Apple has a policy of not allowing copyleft software distribution through their dogshit app store.

The code on that repo is GPL (probably), but the compiled binary that you buy and download through the store is not GPL.
Developers can and do release software under multiple licenses, Apple imposes that all the software distributed through their "store" cannot be copyleft, therefore the build distributed by them cannot be GPL, else it wouldn't be there.

I say it probably is GPL because I've seen instances where code is licensed under GPL but breaks one or multiple freedoms defined in terms which makes it ineligible for GPL.
The best example is Telegram, Telegram is like a piece of dogshit sticking in my boot that I can't get rid of, they keep claiming their clients are free software but they have API key nonsense (keys that can only he provided by them and are revocable at any given time) at compile time for the client to be able to connect to the central servers. That's essentially a form of DRM and against freedom 0, so the license is void.

> No, it doesn't. You may run telegram client code as you wish, for any purpose.
The sole purpose of their clients is to connect to their servers so you can communicate with other people. If the API rejects your requests then it can't fulfill that purpose and therefore it breaks freedom 0, hence why it can't be GPLed.
Even if they managed to stick to the license by letter it would be a similar case as with TiVO where the developer is a bad actor that tries to abuse or restrict software freedom by spirit, being de-facto proprietary, which is what Telegram does regardless of case.
> Metatext code is under GPL and the binaries in appstore are produced from that code. You can download the code for any version of Metatext from GitHub at any time.
Given the client is intended to be used to connect to Fediverse servers it's way less likely that goes against GPL by spirit but there's plenty of ways to enforce TiVOization or proprietary jails, Apple is an offender on both of those.
Apple software being under copyleft licensing is devs lying themselves at best or a maliciously deceiving move at worst (like with Telegram clients).
> I have no idea what "the binary is not under GPL" even means, the entire phrase is a complete non sequitur.
Apple forbids copyleft software distribution, so whatever software you see that regularly is copyleft/GPL distributed through their "store" is licensed under a different licensing. One similar example of multi-licensing is VSCode.
There's also the possible scenario where the dev/s reached an agreement to allow Metatex to be distributed under GPL on their "store", or Apple doesn't care to enforce that policy, or the dev breaks their policy which would be based, or both.

Why not play safe and prevent both?
1. Be a good and loving parent.
2. Educate your children about how degenerate and evil proprietary technology/social media is and explain what a psyop is.
He or she will eventually connect the dots and realize most LGBT people are a byproduct of capitalist degeneracy or groomed victims, fueled by all of these dysfunctional people on proprietary social media and shitty parenting.

Bocchi is cheap slop.
One Piece used to be good but it degenerated into slop, One Piece is a clear example of everything getting progressively worse over time.

Consuming as in watching it for entertainment. Not all consumer goods are perishable or disappear once you consumed them, digital media is one of those.

@sun being unable to upload stuff through Fedilab is really starting to bug me off. Did you double check if I need some extra permissions to do that? It doesn't make sense since I can upload media just fine from other accounts.

Ever since I switched to xfce I haven't had any random DE crash or extremely annoying bug, even on experimental distributions like Guix it works fine.
Xfce is how GNOME should've been.
