For people like me who didn’t know what this was:

Stremio offers a secure, modern and seamless entertainment experience. With its easy-to-use interface and diverse content library, including 4K HDR support, users can enjoy their favorite movies and TV shows across all their devices. And with its commitment to security, Stremio is the ultimate choice for a worry-free, high-quality streaming experience.

edit: honestly, that’s a shitty description. This one seems a bit better:

Stremio is a modern media center that gives you the freedom to watch everything you want.

There’s also ZZ 👉😎👉 Same caveats apply, smash that fukken esc key (for bonus points rebind caps lock as esc) then ZZ Top your way out of that shit.

I feel like bpf would be a decent solution for anticheat. I believe you can limit what an ebpf program can look at quite effectively.

Should have just used AGPL from the start, instead of falling back to this fucked up modified BSD license. It wouldn’t stop people from stripping the branding, but they’d have to release source code which would tell all users what they’re actually using.

In particular, the companies purchase financial information from a data broker before offering a nurse a shift; if the nurse is carrying a lot of credit-card debt, especially if some of that is delinquent, the amount offered is reduced. “Because, the more desperate you are, the less you’ll accept to come into work and do that grunt work of caring for the sick, the elderly, and the dying.” That is horrific on many levels, he said, but “it is emblematic of ‘enshittification’”, which is one of the reasons he highlighted it.

What the ACTUAL FUCK‽ This is the type of shit Neal Stephenson would put in a fucking cyberpunk dystopia novel. I am filled with so much fucking rage. My sister is a nurse and goes through so much fucking bullshit at her job already. Nurses really do not need more shit thrown at them.

These are good points. I was in a shitty mood when I made my comment and upon reflection, it’s an overstatement and not a very good take. I do still strongly support copyleft licenses and DCOs over CLAs, but I shouldn’t turn my nose up when something is released without those.

I used to be excited when companies open-sourced stuff, and that is no longer the case. I suppose I’m just frustrated and bitter and cynical when it comes to large companies doing good things.

Hence my initial whinging about how this was released with a permissive license and a copyright transfer. The longer I’m involved in this industry, the less I like permissive software licensing. There’s obviously a place for it, but my tolerance for permissive licensing is directly tied to my trust for the person or organization backing the software. I don’t trust Microsoft, and I don’t think I will ever personally contribute to their software unless my contribution is made under a copyleft license and with a DCO, not a copyright-transferring CLA.

You’re correct, but I don’t believe that a company shouldn’t be allowed to take my code and change its license in the future. If they want to take something proprietary, they can go ahead and remove my contribution from it first.

You absolutely do not need a CLA with a copyright transfer. There are plenty of large projects that use a Developer Certificate of Origin that protects the company while not allowing them to change the license of your contribution.

I’ll grant that my original post was pissy and angry and not a great take, however. You make good points here.

From the repo’s CONTRIBUTING.md:

Most contributions require you to agree to a Contributor License Agreement (CLA)

Meh, a permissive license + a copyright transfer means this shit is just a potential rugpull. MSFT can change the license of the project to source-available or even proprietary at any time and you’ll be powerless to stop it.

I’d guess they’ll just have big ass black body radiators oriented away from the sun.
