Fat fingered fax... faxes, not faces!

Email may not be secure, but neither are faces and phones, and yet medical professionals use those all the time.

How do you download the games? I tried logging in to download cyberpunk which I purchased on gog, and they wanted me to download tons of files individually! I couldn't even just click a "download all" button.

But are you going to actually make money from it? I am quite leery of companies releasing awesome open source code, growing and taking on massive financing (based largely on that growth, which they achieved because of being open source) then after becoming entrenched in the market, bitching and whining about not "capturing enough value" from their open source code. (And often, switching to an non open source license, while simultaneously declaring their love for open source!)

Now, I know you folks haven't ever done that, but it is such a pattern lately that I almost expect it from any for profit company whose primary product is open source. I don't want to judge you based on the actions of others... but the pattern is so well established now that I have to exercise caution.

Now, in the end, I simply switch to whatever open source fork or alternative crops up (or already exists). But it makes it hard for me to go "Hey everyone, you should be using Astral's X because they are awesome and X is awesome and X is open source. And do 'y'[code contributions, financial sponsorship, buy support from them- whatever it might be] to make sure to support Astral and their development of the open source X code!" ... because I am anticipating the rug pull, taking the trademark and brand down the tube with it. Yet, I really, really, really want to support you folks. I want to tell everyone about your great products. I want to encourage them to use your product and to support you financially.

This is my number one objection to the AGPL. Still way better than the SSPL or BUSL, but I will stick with valley for now.

That is Code OSS, MS official binary builds of Visual Studio Code, as explained at the top of the Readme, include proprietary code. MS also has several very popular proprietary extensions. Some of those extensions, older cersions were open source.

Well, first off, Strongbox is Apple specific, and I don't use Apple devices. Second, it does not appear to be 100% open source, though it is based on some open source code from KeePass.

So the real question for me would be why not use KeePass, which is what I used before switching to Bitwarden. I switched because at the time, Bitwarden had better clients, better integration with Android and Firefox. That situation has changed some since, but I haven't had any good reason to switch back.

https://glitchtip.com/ is an Open Source form of Sentry created after they went closed source, if you are interested in something like that.

There are certainly some locales that have a larger reputation for this sort of things than others.

I would record that conversation and send it to the FBI, and if that didn't get any traction, the Press.

I keep hearing this, but I have so far not been able to get a single game (even ones marked with excellent support) to work on proton. I really, really, really want it to work, though!
