It shouldn’t be.

This isn’t the first project like this, motionEye OS has been around for years.

There’s some irony in that sponsor block has to block four segments of the video.

Helium was interesting, but they locked it down so you can only use their proprietary hardware for access points, it seems kinda scammy.

IPFS is used by several archive projects like Anna’s archive and libgen.

Meshtastic is a distributed local mesh network for text messaging.

My non lawyer, and probably wrong, advice is to send them a polite reply asking them to refer to the reply given in the case of Arkell v. Pressdram (1971)

Well now I’m going to have to use it even more.

I’m not aware of any method to add a third party plugin repository. (Is the software that runs the plugin repository even open source?)

You completely missed that I was talking about installing plugins.

Not easily, honestly.

WordPress on its own is very bare bones, you’re almost certainly going to want to install plugins, which by default can only be done from the builtin connection to WP servers.

WP without plugins doesn’t even have basic things like gallery light boxes. Honestly it seems deliberate, since the easiest way to get a lot of basic features that should be in core is to install the automattic(the company that owns wordpress) jetpack extension, that also installs a bunch of data harvesting connections to their proprietary SaaS.

Most open source projects rely on volunteers, and few technical writers volunteer.

The old files would still be in the commit history anyway.

How is he controversial? the only negative thing I’ve seen about FUTO is the proprietary license grayjay is under.

I’ve considered doing something similar myself, honestly it would come down to which one has the best libraries/frameworks for it.

the large ecosystem of commercial crap which has tainted by association the open source core of it

Isn’t the main shop plugin (woocommerce) heavily infested with that though?
