I wonder if there's a software business model where you buy the software for the binary and the source code? The source code is not exactly open, but is available on that specific version. I'm also wondering how that would work for the software supply chain. 🤔

@FediFollows@social.growyourown.services you ought to include the contacts of #opensource champions like the #developers of #linux #distros like #mxlinux #linuxMint #debian #archlinux, #developers of some prime #mastodon instances, #piefed instances, #codeberg , #github and email services like #mailo and #proton.
That way, we would be able to reach out to them through #socialmedia whenever we need their support.
This informal channel is oftentimes better than your regular email.

@pheonix@hachyderm.io Like for real, #Steam dominates because they turned an Online - #DRM into a #feature that people literally harrass #developers & #publishers into supporting...
Not only because it's cheaper and more convenient in many if not most cases, but because it's seen as "added value" due to #reputation-based, #ServerSideAnticheat across the platform!

I just added to the public blocklist I maintain which can be pulled from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/greyhat-academy/lists.d/main/activitypub.domains.block.list.tsv once the #Mastodon #developers finally implement Blocklist Feed Support, like any decent Networking / Server Software should have!

@keepandroidopen@techhub.social at this point I hope affected #developers press charges against #Google for enabling #Impersonation and distributing #Malware under their name.
Also @eucomission needs to stock fucking around and force Google to undo this shit or get banned in the #EU for illegal #monopolization efforts!
