That is mind blowing to me. I wouldn’t even think of it for anything meaningful.

I pay for nitro because I love discord and love supporting it. I will cancel if they go through with this nonsense.

Wait, what are people using it for? I use discord for shooting the shit with people about video games and politics.

FLOSS makes more sense than FOSS anyway.

My guess is because of this: https://techcrunch.com/2026/01/22/voice-ai-engine-and-openai-partner-livekit-hits-1b-valuation/

Here’s an article on LiveKit if anyone else is interested.

Can we change the title to web inventor? I am guilty of using them interchangeably as well, but he did not invent the internet. And I used the internet before the web existed lol.

There was no implication that this was a general poll designed to demonstrate the general public’s attitudes. I’m not sure why you mentioned this.

First of all, I want to be clear that I wasn’t trying to be harsh. But it’s just your entire comment. As soon as you say, “I was looking for a library,” you’ve already indicated that you feel entitled to find a library somewhere rather than build it yourself (or pay someone to do it for you).

Do you not understand how that comes across as entitled? Meaning you feel entitled to access a software library that exists with a license you can exploit. You’ll reject a GPL licensed library because it is copylefted and you know your management would never go for GPLing the entire work.

What I’m saying is that if you’re writing your own software with a private business, why do you expect there to just be some library you can use internally to exploit and not contribute back to the community?

That’s funny that you accused me of being obtuse and then immediately did so. Do you not understand what the “difficulty” of including GPL libraries means? Re-read their comment.

I’m not talking about an unwillingness to “give” money here. They’re treating a gratis library existing for them to include in the codebase as a foregone conclusion.

The real crime is that this is not a vision for how Palestinians should be living, even though they deserve to.

They’re certainly not rounding up white Europeans, that’s for sure.

Rent really does destroy the world.

The meme isn’t that it’s grammatically incorrect, it’s that it can be read both ways. You’re not wrong, Walter.

Refuse! Resist!

I don’t think they needed to kill Harambe. Even just to avoid the memers his life should have been spared.

Rest in Power, James.

It sounds more like you think you are entitled to have access to a library to begin with. Why should one exist that you can exploit in a way that your business wants rather than one that respects freedom—this is where I completely agree with the software freedom folks.

If you work for a private business that is earning profit, I think it’s perfectly reasonable to expect to pay for a library or build it yourself. Why should something else just exist for your business to exploit?

I hope they’re doing well. I’m guessing they’re about 38 now?

Do not despair. If you hadn’t spent that 3,000 BTC on pizza, it never would have been worth anything to begin with.
