@bot i was browsing images in the finder and it made network API requests, that's how. there's a screenshot of the image and the API access in the article.
@icedquinn@Suiseiseki@cafkafk it's really sad to see the free/nonfree sides turn into the anticapitalism/procommerce war. it's really dumb. you can be commercial and respect freedoms. the agpl (nonfree!) is a great example of this damage spreading in the foss world.
@Suiseiseki it violates freedom 0, the freedom to run modified private copies on a webserver. freedom 0 specifically indicates "for any purpose", and that means running a private modified version for profit.
agpl disrespects developer rights to privacy. there is a material difference between offering a network service and distributing software. there is no ethical framework in which i should have to give you source to code that runs on *my* hardware.
@berkes@surfingalot etsy blocks vpns. shopify doesn't carry most things i need. ebay is paypal and blocks all my payment cards because i closed my paypal account. mom-and-pop woocommerce don't carry the things i need. walmart is walmart.
@doenietzomoeilijk thanks for this helpful reply, it just so happens i love going to the supermarket in person to buy soap during a pandemic, i will change my ways immediately
@berkes@doenietzomoeilijk soap was just the example, the reason i'm on there is for the million other items that are available with free shipping and one click. it's the everything store and most of everything will arrive tomorrow. there is absolutely nothing comparable to it here or there and it's not a matter of monopoly, it's a matter of scale/size/reach. (not saying they didn't use anticompetitive practices to get to this point, but they are now here)
