I was curious because I am a back-end tech nerd, and apparently "derpibooru" (I had no idea what to expect) is running on Elixir (I assume Phoenix) specifically this: https://github.com/philomena-dev/philomena Edit: PLEASE BE AWARE OF THE LICENSE, it is AGPL licensed, which means if you copy any of the code into your back-end, your whole back-end must be open sourced, as a back-end nerd I stay away from anything AGPL…

Fud. To quote section 13 of the AGPL license: "Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of the GNU General Public License into a single combined work, and to convey the resulting work.

AGPL Section 13 as you quote it discussed the interaction of AGPL and GPL v3. It has nothing to do with the scenario the parent commenter was discussing involving the interaction of AGPL and closed-source non-GPL code.

YouTube copied a lot of features from pornhub like the heatmap of the most watched parts of a video.

Dang I saw that was a new feature but didn't know they'd actually started borrowing features from porn sites. What the heck is the youtube team doing that they're creating useful features slower than that sort of site?

> if you copy any of the code into your back-end, your whole back-end must be open sourced That’s a feature, not a bug. If you don’t want that, don’t use it.

Correct, but it would be foolish not to warn people BEFORE they peek around the code. GPL (and by extension I assume AGPL) states that even translating the work to a new language still constitutes as copying and therefore the resulting code must be GPL'd.

I had a friend once tell me that porn was the driving force for innovation on the internet. Firstly getting the speeds up to load images, then videos with buffering then 4k, then VR. The design features and business model of porn sites is years ahead of anything else, for a reason these sites up until very recently were the majority of bandwith over the Internet. A business model you will start to see more which is v…

Well, does that allow you to have the rest of your backend GPL licensed and simply not distributed? Nobody has a right to see the code unless they have the executable, and you're not giving anyone the executable, so...

Kind of unfortunate if there's a leak though.

The worst thing about data driven UX - especially with porn - is that it's often a self fulfilling prophecy. Trends that are likely side-effects are considered to be primary factors driving engagement. With porn, it's usually a fetish that is only moderately popular, but broadly unoffensive. Because the average person who isn't specifically interested in the fetish isn't turned off by it either, that fetish gets more…

> but really took off over the last few years with "step sibling" porn.

Even one of the Mortys in R&M made a wish that "inc*st porn have more a mainstream appeal." My partner both winced at that and said to each other, "Did he just say what I think he said?" So maybe I'm just too old and traditional (despite being queer)?

Sounds like generic copyright feature, when you assign license on per file basis in source form. Such compiled combined work will be licensed under AGPL:

13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the combination as such.

IMO the only booru like site that has a better tagging/searching system than esix is derpibooru. It is fast enough to be almost scary. Even with highly complex filters.

a demo of the search engine running locally. Yes, it is that fast. And its not just counts, but the actual result sets. (in this case, no fetching is done though)

Also supports and/or, even nested, along with ranking by whether it has a specific search term (called boosting in the documentation) Oh, and in the example, the default blacklist was used. https://derpibooru.org/pages/search_syntax

I have the same issue with this as other commenters here: The article says that porn sites are designed to maximize engagement. As opposed to what, other video sites?

A very naive thought, but isn't it a bit different for porn sites because of the existence of orgasms? If I'm watching TikTok and a really good video comes on I am encouraged to watch more but if there is a really good porn video I'm ... Done? At least for that session. So it's like they want to keep dopamine levels not cranked up, but at sustained medium levels. Again, I don't know anything about UX, please tell me…

I think that orgasms add to the experience, you cum to something and next time you probably will want to view content similar to that.
