This.

Discourse is Not Going Closed Source

Cal.com just closed their source code, arguing AI has made open source too dangerous. After 13 years of building Discourse in public, we're staying open. Here's why.

You asked for it and we delivered. #Meshy now supports connecting to companions over WiFi/TCP, too.

If you're using a WiFi-enabled companion or meshcore-proxy, let us know how it works for you.

This effectively bans any user that doesn't use a Google/Apple-Account-tied smartphone from seeing any user-generated content - e.g. this post - ever again.

Doesn't work without a Google/Apple-tied device btw. There is absolutely no story for how this would work on a desktop, anything without a Google/Apple account, or open source OS at all either.

After 13 years of building Discourse in public, we're excited to announce: we're staying open.

Discourse has always and will always be open source.

Here's why.

I care about two things when it comes to extensions:

- Last updated when
- URL to the source code

Everything else is fluff that's easily gamed. Yet the URL to the source code is nowhere to be found. The license? Sure. But the code? Impossible to find.

Gosh I hate it so much how Firefox makes it essentially impossible to find the forge URL for an extension in the store
