I think the “open source” in FOSS is exactly what you look for. there is a software and it’s source code is open and free to use. it says nothing about community, build system, infra, etc.

do you need dolby vision support? both profiles? that makes a difference

trying to run nextcloud using the aio thing was one of the most frustrating things ever. it is so slooow. I ditched it pretty quick

this looks a lot like that “European X alternative” named “W” which was vaporware. I wish journalist were more critical with the claims of these people.

I think FOSS enable those kind of communities but I don’t think FOSS as a concept is any of those things. those communities could equally work with a non FOSS license (eg one that prevents commercial use or a license that allow usage only by members of a specific community). They uses existing licenses because they go momentum and have legal precedents that allows people to defend their rights.

Most FOSS licenses were specifically designed to allow profiting from the wok of others, even the GPL. Just see how many billion dollar companies (think Azure, AWS, etc) profit from projects without giving anything back.

I wish home assistant moved. it’s quite a popular project and there are thousands of smaller plugins around it all in github. them moving to something else could cause a big ripple effect
