Slack has been scanning your messages to train its AI models and the only way to stop it is to email them. This is some bullshit.

Slack has been using data from your chats to train its machine learning models

Slack trains machine-learning models on user messages, files and other content without explicit permission. The training is opt-out, meaning your p...

The strength of the nostr user base is their conviction and passion. The people who stick around here are not leaving. You can’t buy that with paid installs.

I also don't think the people commenting on nostr user growth stats understand the comparables. With consumer apps retaining 3% of your users is good, and 6% is great. VC funded apps are throwing hundreds of millions towards attracting the attention of tens of millions, in an effort to retain a teeny tiny portion of them. View quoted note →

@jb55 heads up, reactions made in Damus don’t appear in Primal. Using most recent TestFlight. Perhaps related to all the work that’s being done on threading compatibility.

If nostr succeeds, the concept of measuring the growth of nostr will no longer make sense. Pockets of users will appear and disappear, totally unaware of each other’s existence.

The universal feed in nostr is an illusion. This note is performative. It doesn’t belong here. Someone put it here. Everything is curated.

Bruce Perens recently outlined a "Post-Open" vision that aims to compensate developers fairly for their work and provide a more streamlined licensing and compliance model for companies using open source software.

Open Source pioneer Perens says it's time to contemplate a Post-Open world

Open Source may have won, but it has also failed, says Open Source Initiative founder

https://perens.com/static/DEVELOPMENT_LICENSE.txt?v=2004_04_01 Reading it, the license grants restricted rights to use the software for free up to $5 million in revenue per year, after which companies must pay for additional rights. It also sets conditions like prohibiting export for military/defense purposes, requiring modifications to be publicly released or paid for, and banning training of machine learning models without releasing the resulting model under the same terms. I've got a ton of respect for Bruce but if you were thinking about adopting something like this you would be better off hiring a lawyer to write something more specific on your behalf. We've had Free as in beer... Free as in speech.... and now Free as in a large legal team.
