Thank you for posting those links, while I’m not sure the person you replied to was asking in good faith, I myself was wanting to see an example after reading the discussion.
Seems like even if it’s not fully open source it’s a step in the right direction in a world where terms like “open” and non profit have been co-opted by corporations to lose their original meaning.
If it was actually programed that way then yes you could go in and adjust that, but the model itself is not censored that way and has no problem describing all sorts of Chinese tabboo subjects.
That’s not really how browsers and web standards work
I was a volunteer working at the first LinuxCon in 2009, I worked in the expo hall and at the end of the first day one of the booths had a raffle to win an android G1 developer phone and I ended up winning.
The best part was, by winning the phone instead of having to buy it through t–mobile I was able to keep my service without having to pay for adding data and it was a couple years before I had to actually start paying for data.
How is simplex going to turn a profit for the people who’ve currently invested in it? This is why things get enshittified, they have vulture capitalists helping them start out and no one thinks about it till one day it comes time to pay the piper and features start getting broken, ads get shoveled in, and unless enough money is generated the app will eventually fail.
I hope simplex finds a way to go non profit, until then I can’t trust their business model to not shift in the future.
Yeah I run a small service for friends and its almost all Usenet powered now. I still like to seed torrents anyway just as an extra fuck you.
