jlow (he / him)Or OpenWeathermap.
Or the gas station near my house when they forget to turn the sign off.
Winamp?
It really kicks the llama’s ass
𝕸𝖔𝖘𝖘Well… it used to… …
New winamp, yes. The original never claimed to be foss.

M137Why say the same thing that had already been commented 7 hours before you?
Ahh, for one moment I was excited seeing an open source washing machine project. Then I opened the post and now I’m sad…
Unreal engine comes to mind
Does it tout itself as open?
I don’t have much respect for the software, and even less respect for the useful idiots praising it despite never having used it.
It’s my understanding that it’s proprietary software, but you can use it for free and only have to pay if you make money off of a program developed with it.
Your understanding is mostly correct. The code is also visible on GitHub and you can compile it yourself, but that’s it. I don’t know if it is officially promoted as open source, but I knew a handful of epic evangelists that said that it was.
Oh cool. I guess Epic is just trying to leech off of useful idiots working for free.
What a world.
Like the corner store forgetting to flip the sign to “closed” after closing.
in my town the gas station that’s been closed for 10 years and is covered in vines still has a open sign on it lol
