I prefer appwrite if I could choose. Check them out of you don’t need all the bells and whistles of supabase

Maybe like Open Policy Agent (OPA) but with Yaml instead of Rego?

Isn’t it to keep the copyright notice and not the license itself? I.e, you may redistribute it with a different license term and conditions but the copyright notice must be retained. I don’t know how different it is tho in legal speak. Maybe they are equivalent.

Not really, you can charge for GPL software, but you must always provide the source and anyone may redistribute those

No.

MIT : “Here is my project. Do whatever, I don’t care. Just put my name in a credit somewhere.”

GPL (assuming FSF stance on linking is used) : “Here is my project. Oh, you want to use my project and distribute your project that uses my project? Make your whole project open source too.”

BSD-3 : “Here is my project. Credit me and do whatever but, don’t use my name to promote your usage.”

And many more nuances on other licenses like patents and whatnot. The problem is, the average person does not care to enforce it.

Uhh, yes it did? CPU time costs money too. What used to take milliseconds now takes a seconds WILL cost them money. And usually CPU time is the most expensive one too while bandwidth is cheap.

You jest but it can happen when what the docs says doesn’t reflect the implementation. And also, that’s what we call bugs.

Nothing comes to mind. DRM literally means digital rights management and unless you wanted to be petty, like blocking a certain person from using your app, then DRM for something free is not something that I can think of a use case for.

Enforcing payment comes to mind without resorting to in-app purchase or any account creation. A lot of desktop software is a good example of those. Sure, you can still have cracks and whatnot, but then again, that’s not the point. Might as well ask what is the point of Denuvo. That is a whole other discussion.

Yes, that’s my point. Android “doesn’t” have to use Google Play Store, but it is convenient. Other store fronts exist like F-droid and many vendor specific one. Google just provide the DRM mechanism like steam does provide DRM via steamworks

What I mean by that is, this is just an API/SDK for app developers to use. Google does not enforce the use of such things. Much like steam does not force the use of their drm for example (please note the difference between the marketplace and the drm). App developers can always choose how they make and distribute their app.

Ehh, this is basically just another form of DRM. No different than you having a Steam and GOG model. You can make your apps using DRM and enforce certain constraints

Hmmm, yeah it gets harder to associate it with physical reality when user generated content is introduced. Maybe an archival of said content is mandated but then again, who is going to serve the archive. In the case of youtube, it would be almost impossible

Huh, the difference is that a website is not akin to a public park but privately owned park with or without entrance fee. The owner is nice enough to open the park and let you do whatever you want for free with the cleaning and maintenance is paid by the owner, but when the park is closed, would you still say the owner should still be forced to maintain it?

I never understood this argument. Why does having common first letter bad? If you mean subjectively then sure, it may not be for everyone, but objectively?

Long live sans io!

Then Promise.all is for you!

Eh, we can argue about language all we want but at the end of the day if it is still the same code just with a different branding, someone will be bound to automate the process eventually. It’s FOSS, if someone is willing to put in the works to enable people who think the brand name is a hindrance for their change then more power for them no? We even change master/slave terminology in CS and many other field for the same reason (linguistic)

Yeah, a fair point
