Hey, I wanted to see at least a single screenshot. :(


Nope, tons of non-copyleft licenses are considered free software even by the FSF, so they fit both the open source and free software definition, which makes them FOSS.

Also, take into account that FOSS is not a thing by itself, but rather a grouping of software that meets two ideologies: open source and free software


FOSS stands for “free and open source software”, and in practice, free software is almost the same as open source, so I don’t get why you say it’s open source but not FOSS. Don’t you mean source-available?



Something between the lines of Signal being an evil tool from the CIA to overthrow “communist” regimes around the world, because it’s funded by the OTF. It’s all conspiracy theories.


I’m glad the tinfoil hat essays don’t pop up.


As far as I know, Odysee and LBRY.TV have lots of trackers: they are in no way privacy respecting. I think their stance is more about “freedom of speech”.


We don’t know if downvote was OP’s, and to call downvoting “vote manipulation” ignores the reason why they downvote: because they’re toxic.




You’re an asshole sometimes, and I’ve disagreed with you many times; but that doesn’t mean I will tolerate others harassing you and attacking you publicly this way.


E2EE doesn’t mean servers are not used for storage, it only means servers can’t see message contents.

Note that this doesn’t mean that Olvid uses no servers (it does). It means that you do not have to trust them: your privacy is ensured by cryptographic protocols running on the client-side (i.e., on your device), and these protocols assume that the servers were compromised from day one. Even then, your privacy is ensured blush.

Finally, a worthy opponent for the aging and terribly designed Linkbucket.

EDIT: no, I refuse to let Linkbucket die! I need to rework some of it.


Probably because it’s not free (as in freedom) software. https://olvid.io/faq/is-olvid-open-source/

EDIT: the downvote wasn’t mine.


You’re late to the party, that thing was first released in 2019. I ordered one in mid-2020 and arrived the following month.


How? Does it contain non-free JavaScript or LibreJS fails to detect it as free? Or it is “non-trivial“?
