It’s a dll injection. Of course it gets flagged as a virus, because technically it is. That doesn’t mean that it is malicious.

Here is an example… On paper, reshade is a horrifically dangerous piece of software. It doesn’t get flagged only because it is well known and virus scanners have an exception for it.

Any of these geniuses stopped to think that Spotify changing its code and altering the way that it interacts with the dll could result in more “detections”?

GIGO.

Garbage in garbage out. You give a shit prompt, you generally get a shit answer.

It’s important to note that a VPN is simply somebody else’s network in another location.

I feel as though this take is fully fud. It sounds like a take that came from seeing tons of advertisements for vpns without really understanding how they work. Maybe I’m wrong about you. That said, in general, a VPN is not a great cloak for piracy.

Come on dude, you know exactly what he meant. Social media is a broad category, but when someone mentions it in this context, it’s very clear what they mean.

You’re about 30 years off, but nice try.

You absolutely were talking about that. Maybe not as your main point, but it was part of your statement.

I doubt this has much to do with Google maps and more to do with Google being cockwombles in general.

Organic maps in the US is fucking awful and quite literally unusable.

SVN is trash and the people who advocate for it over git are probably pretty crappy developers.

Reason being, if they have trouble understanding git, I have little faith in their ability to create competent code.

Wow, there is approximately 2 people in these comments that actually read the article.

Lmao, ok

Everyone knows vegetarians don’t have friends, therefore, they wouldn’t get invited to the barbecue in the first place. It’s a problem that solves itself.

More or less platform agnostic. No “algorithm”, which is… Honestly, Wonderful.

What the fuck are you on about? I don’t follow Rossman, I don’t even like him. I do like his product though. Dude has some weird ass libertarian leanings that are “eyebrow raising”, if I’m being generous.

The fucking OSI does not get to define open source however it wants. Open source means the the source is open to the public. FULL FUCKING STOP. The OSI co-opted the term open source, and people like you fell in line. What is it with people like you and purity testing software? That’s fucking weird.

I’m fucking sick of turbonerds with toxic opinions and zero coding skills telling developers what they need to do with their own code. The fact that they can’t code is more or less irrelevant, but it highlights how much more bullshit their stance is. If you want to control a license then write some fucking code and you can license it however the hell you like.

We do agree in one key area though, “influencer” is a cult, or something very close to it. This whole parasocial relationship bullshit is actively harming society at large. You can thank YouTube for fucking these things up btw. Other services have followed, but it’s YouTube’s (Google’s) insatiable lust for power and monopoly that have crippled society and possibly irreversibly damaged it.

Because it doesn’t hold a candle to Grayjay.

I have read the license. I read it when it first came out. Open source is open source. You don’t get to move the goal posts like the OSI has. You wanted the source to be available so that you could have a look at it and make sure nothing nefarious was going on or at least be able to tell what it does. You can, therefore be happy, and be quiet.

All of the stuff that I develop is the type of open source that you like, that said, you don’t need to try to browbeat developers into licensing terms that they don’t like. If they want to keep their source proprietary then that is fine as long as they make it available for others to have a look at.

Stop purity testing this crap. You do the entire movement a disservice by being a pedantic butthole. Furthermore you make people like me not want to make the source available to people like you. You damage the entire image, and you don’t even realize it.

The license isn’t the problem. You are.

The source is available. The source is open. OSI can go take a flying leap. Purity testing sycophants such as yourself are a boat anchor on forward movement (source: am an open source developer).

People like you are the worst enemy of open source, and you really think that you’re a staunch ally. It’s really Fucking sad.

Quit with this Firefox “enshittification” bs. It isn’t true. Be better.
