AGPL would still allow a third party to fork their code and create a commercial product out of it, which is what they are opposed to. The AGPL only requires that the host also provides their code.

No, it also requires that it's licensed under the AGPL, meaning the users get free software.

Right yes, provide their code licensed under AGPL, it's an important distinction, thanks.

What it doesn't ban people from doing is selling a service, which is different from their license that allows only non-commercial uses.

You can take a copy of Debian and resell it or put it in a product and sell that. That’s a pretty important freedom of free software.

And Debian is OK with that, because Debian is not a for-profit company that paid it's developers money to make a product, thus they don't care that others get it and resell it. For a company, the product itself, what makes money, cannot be OSS, as it makes its resell value effectively zero. If the software was OSS, then the software is _not_ the product, but added values are (support, consulting, etc... the classic t…

I was pointing out that Debian can't distribute software that is licensed "for non-commercial use only" because Debian doesn't have use restrictions, and so their users might be engaged in commercial use.

This is the point number one in their free software guideline,

You watch 2-3 videos on autopilot and Joe Rogan always pops up eventually. With that kind of promotion I dont understand why he's not bigger.

He’s pretty big. He helped tip a presidential election.

Considering his content is auto recommended to billions of people, should be bigger.

For anyone who wants a lo-fi solution to subscribing to a youtube channel without having to deal with the youtube.com website, every channel has a built-in Atom feed that contains an entry for each video. My pipeline for watching subscribed channels is to just run a feed reader in one terminal (newsboat) and then copy-paste new videos from that into an adjacent terminal running a loop that runs `yt-dlp` on each paste…

Fyi, an automated alternative: https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub

I didn't see it as tone policing. From my point of view, I saw a very interesting application being shared and I hoped it would be good and prosperous so i can use it. When the first comment says "i hate that you do X" it is a bit discouraging towards a team of developers who have probably poured tons of free hours into making this. Words play with psychology, and it is my personal interest that these devs have good…

This is a cultural problem. What is considered impolite in the US or the UK is considered just being straightforward in e.g. Scandinavia. I am German, we're kind of in the middle between someone from e.g. Finland and someone from e.g. or the UK or US with what we consider "ok" or rather crossing into rude territory. A common exchange I witnessed in a meeting at work (Nokia): Finnish developer: And if we follow this s…

It's not even impolite in the US, the people tone policing are being very weird. It's perfectly normal to say "I hate x behavior".

It's not normal to see someone doing x behavior, initiate a conversation with them and say "I hate x behavior." They're not tone policing you when they tell you that you come off like an asshole when you do that.

That's not at all what's happening here so it's irrelevant.

Does this app has any creator monetization in mind, or does 'your way' means 'fuck you, i'm not paying you for shit, i'm just taking it'? None of it is "your content", or their content, it's just someone else's content they're leeching on. "full ownership" - of what? literally just, what are their thoughts on that. do people deserve being paid? or don't? and if they don't and it's not worth paying for, how is it stil…

I pay for Youtube premium to not have to see ads and potentially be manipulated by them. Yet I still have to watch a lot of ads there, since for a large chunk of content creators, the economic model of Youtube doesn’t seem to work and they additionally include inline ads.

You'll probably like the Sponsorblock extension that automatically skips over the ad-read sections of the video.
