did he at least get a dollar value first?

edit: I honestly would have pursued it as far as legally possible first just to know how much of a fuck you I was sending … can someone offer to buy Bluesky now?

Now he can tell the next guy that $20k isnt enough, because he was already offered it by AdamEatsAss last year

You should haggle a bit mate. I think a few things are on the table here.

Yeah “open source”… The app doesn’t even have the source code…

Yeah man what an arsehole giving away free things, spending time making free things for everyone to use for free.

If he wants to keep his code private until he’s ready to release it - that’s somewhat up to him. The repo is a step in the right direction, just give it some time.

Looking through the git repo the ignore is lopping off quite a number of files too (server) however I’m not sure how much of those are things like secrets, cache, other scripts and so forth.

Well, it’s kind of up to him. His NLNet grants require it to be open source and dictate what license he uses, but I don’t know the details to know if that just means it has to be open sourced in order to receive the grant (awarded upon completion not ahead of time) or right away.

Does the grant apply to just pixelfed, or loops as well?

He was working on it but it wasn’t completed until now. I’m unsure why it wasn’t open sourced from the start but either way, it’s open sourced now.

Not sure you can trust him at this point.

Worse case scenario he gathers telemetry and sells your information or gives it to a company that does. Either way, it’s gpl so we can clone it and host it ourselves.

Sweet… this is the first time I’ve ever actually used vaporware. Typically I never get a chance, but it’s impressive that Dan was able to release vaporware.

Vaporware can also include prototype spaghetti code releases.

Nice, and now we’re just changing definitions of words to match what we think they should mean. That’s so woke.

This app is currently available and works. Not sure what your problem is.

Did you try to actually add content? I did. 5 videos on the android app, as the webui has no option to upload or even edit already uploaded video. My experience is that loops is a garbeled mess without any taught or plan, that recurringly crashes or enter endless loading screens.

The web ui has no option to even view the feed, as far as I can tell. Only individual videos and the settings.

I use it several times a day and have uploaded several videos since early January. I’m using the android app exclusively and there have been a couple of times that I went to use it and it wasn’t working, but mostly it works great.

Pardon my ignorance, I am new to the fediverse and have no idea what I’m doing. But, when I signed up for loops on the website, I had to wait 3 days for them to send me a link to download a test-flight app for loops. I cannot recall if TestFlight is standard on iPhone or if I downloaded it previously.

Test flight is opt in if I remember correctly and allows you to download beta versions of apps. So I would assume you signed up or activated it or whatever for an app.
