Loops became Open Source!

[spujb@lemmy.cafe]

it might be useless gossip but for some reason a lot of fedi has various problems with this guy. for various reasons… he just has like … off vibes?

i guess similar to how lemmy devs are marxist lenninists—at least making it open source means projects can be forked if the founders go off the deep end.

[noodlejetski@lemm.ee]

not just "off vibes", he posts a bunch of shit that people call him out on, and then deletes it

[molecularcactus1324@lemmy.world]

That’s funny because it’s not difficult at all to build an app like this.

[cris_color@lemmy.world]

Could you elaborate? I'm not a developer but the repo does appear to be populated. Someone in the Mastodon replies said he might have forgotten to push some commits, are y'all alluding to the same thing?

I don't have the requisite competency to see what you're saying so I'd love more info on what you mean and why you think that

[gladaed@feddit.org]

Not even a surprise open sourcing...

Nvidia did it better

[fxomt@lemm.ee]

Fine, tree fiddy AND an ass eating. Sounds like a bargain to me.

[asudox@lemmy.asudox.dev]

The repo is just full of configuration files and no actual working code. The backend code does not exist. The guy in mastodon thinks that dan forgot to upload his code to the github repo.

[emperor@feddit.uk]

Would it be more or less if Adam wasn't eating your ass?

[jagged_circle@feddit.nl]

Wtf. That pixelfed asshole was writing this shit as closed source before?

[jagged_circle@feddit.nl]

Nah. If you've ever run a mildly popular website, you'd know that you get spammed with ads for seo, content marketing, and buyout requests.

[jagged_circle@feddit.nl]

what an asshole

[jagged_circle@feddit.nl]

Now he can tell the next guy that $20k isnt enough, because he was already offered it by AdamEatsAss last year

[fxomt@lemm.ee]

Can't wait to see AdamEatsAss's changes to bluesky, he will take the company down the right path

[x00z@lemmy.world]

Yeah this is just vaporware at this point.

[bob_robertson_ix@discuss.tchncs.de]

Sweet... this is the first time I've ever actually used vaporware. Typically I never get a chance, but it's impressive that Dan was able to release vaporware.

[x00z@lemmy.world]

Vaporware can also include prototype spaghetti code releases.

[bob_robertson_ix@discuss.tchncs.de]

Nice, and now we're just changing definitions of words to match what we think they should mean. That's so woke.

[pineapplelover@lemm.ee]

He was working on it but it wasn't completed until now. I'm unsure why it wasn't open sourced from the start but either way, it's open sourced now.

[scrollone@feddit.it]

Yes, but nobody believes those buyout requests. They're clearly phishing attempts.

[blazeknave@lemmy.world]

It makes me question my Kickstarter donation along with his other controversy. Having said that, maybe we need some of that attitude on our side. The incumbent platforms' charters are to end competitive platforms. Some sass can help us perhaps.
