If people choose not to use software that's open source because of the way people talk on some thread.. were they intellectually thinking about their own best interests? It's like no longer enjoying a show because some fans did something cridge - anything popular enough will have weirdos (from someone's perspective).

What's it from?

You mean a morally "right" solution? 😇

2. Open source has high immunity to devs making changes at the expense of the user for their benefit because anti-features can be removed. Recommending another proprietary alternative here would be like saying they aught to leave an abusive partner but then recommend someone with the same red flags.

If you went somewhere else their competition is winning (directly as another video site and indirectly as anything else you would do with your time).

I didn't mean to suggest that. I consider calling copyright infringement "piracy" to be propaganda started by the music industry to push their monetary interests. A derogatory term that conflates it with immoral stealing (and murder). This overstates any harms caused.

Culture is just that which a group says/does. If you value the well-being of humans then you can evaluate if an action is good or not. "Respect" of culture need not come into the solution of how best it is to act.

Remember when stealing on sea was piracy? Always has been.

Copyright infringement is different.

Saying "non-free" instead of "proprietary" better explains there is an issue to readers unfamiliar with software freedom, I suppose.

Wikipedia content is usually copyleft isn't it? BigAI doing the BigEvil, redistribution without attribution or reaffirming the rights given back from Copyright by copyleft.

A "clash of cultures" would not be inaccurate as "culture" includes everything a group says/does. It's an insufficient term as it often conveys mundane differences but "stigma, discrimination, and violence" is a substantially more moral difference (if Wikipedia is accurate about gender identity and expression in Kenya).

I presumed their store is the only way to publish on Apple VR hardware? I'd be happy with just a free repository hosting it.

🐧

Does Apple Dev License provide any dev tools or services?

Being able to set a class as abstract is a nice addition.

Not sure how useful Apple VR stuff is, can you release open source games for Apple hardware?

If we had a universal basic income (UBI) then working would instead be a choice to improve their standard of living, rather than just to live.

I could agree about liberating work except I assume the AI is trained on artists' works without compensation and permission. Artists created works already and it's taken advantage of to create the AI, presumably for the profit of the proprietary software owner.

Perhaps balaclavas will become common place in response, at least in public places.

A billion dollars is a worthless amount of money, apparently. Do investors have no loved ones?
