Fair arguments and criticism. That doesn't make them better at all, I think we can agree on that (and as you mentioned the Web UI situation, yeah, that makes them way worse in gran total).

I wish you all good luck, the product looks good, I hope you monetize it and I hope no big corp forks it and makes some closed source alternative (because MIT license does allow exactly that).

Sorry, maybe I sounded diminishing in my post, and I didn't want that. However, the business is still open-core, even if 99% of it is open source. That 1% can taint the project more and more in the future (and MIT obviously allows for the open-source part to go fully proprietary in the future).

1% of cyanide compared to your body weight is still lethal.

P.S. I played a bit last night and I will for sure give it a try (I'm an idealist but still pragmatic and I hope people at Keep are similar)

Kudos. I appreciate the desire to be open source and the need to monetize (and I don't have a golden solution to it, so I would probably do something similar), but I just wish that people clearly define that they are open core because there are a lot of amazing open source projects out there, and it wouldn't be fair to them to be called open source when they aren't.

It looks quite interesting, that's said, I wish people would stop calling projects open source when they aren't and most if not all projects here in Show/Launch are open core - same with Keep. You have a proprietary license in the project, with parts of the code with an open source license.

Hey, we are having fun doing it :) It is already pretty nice for testing things and show us the results. It is not going to be forced on users at all and it will share parts of the code with all the third-party CI integrations that we are working on.

For me it is not only about censorship resistance, it is also about having everything stored in git (so you loose nothing if you decide to move around) and about easy way to be a node itself (you installed Radicle? Congrats, you're a node in the network - you participate, you help, you extend. You can make a permanent node with domain name but you're already a node once you installed Radicle and started the node daemon).

It is this radical idea that everyone can easily be an equal participant in the network and that they have power over what they want and don't want. Open source nature further helps you to adapt things - don't like our web UI local-first interface? Build your own one or adapt ours to your need.

Here you go [0] - the project hasn't launched yet and there are bits and pieces to be dealt with, the current focus is a bit somewhere else. You can also build from source [1] with Rust's cargo.

We are actually working on a number of CI integrations and building our own native one, for our needs.

you can choose which nodes you follow and which nodes you block - you can even decide that you will seed particular repos and not the entire node.

(P.S. I am working at Radicle)

Radicle does store such data in git - issues, patches (PRs) etc. Also, the entire project (protocol, cli, web ui etc) is fully open source.

I am not arguing anything, I am stating my opinion.

I spent my time in Purism cleaning such false claims about laptops and I was open about where we stand with it. That said, laptops have less issues than modern phones regarding freedom part and people just need to be aware and honest about it and not say "no binary blobs" when actually you will use binary blobs for crucial capabilities of modern phone otherwise you will have a brick in your pocket.

Sure, but for me, personally, if you need proprietary things to have 2/3/4G etc is not freedom, no matter where you put it.

That said, Librem5 is still ahead compared to any Android phone regarding freedom and especially privacy part.

Pine is not overpromising things and is doing more organic growth which will sustain. That said, I can confirm that I saw Ubuntu Touch running on PinePhone.

Tbh, it was very easy to slip this one in if someone didn't pay attention as it was integrated with hosting provider at that time. I removed it inside something like month (aka when I got time from other more pressing deals).
