@muntedcrocodile "Fair use" are exceptions from copyright licenses. I won't pretend I know how this all works in detail, I just know this is the loophole they are using.

@muntedcrocodile @JRepin they say it's fair use to take any copyrighted content for training and data-mining. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.add6124
@ReakDuck I'm sure nvidia would like that, this "open source" label is good for marketing. They just want to avoid being actually open. Have the cake and eat it, like many businesses do.
@peregus why do you think so? My view is backed by the two official definitions from OSI and FSF, plus the wording of specific licenses. Your definition is backed by... linguistics? While ignoring the second (open cage) meaning of "open"? Quite strange narrow definition, don't you think? And at odds with everyone who has been doing open-source for decades.
@peregus yes, wrong. Being "open" doesn't mean just "readable". Imagine an open bird cage, not just an open book. It needs to be open to fly free.
@ReversalHatchery @velox_vulnus
It violates "freedom 0" of the Free Software Definition too, so no difference there. This limitation on use makes is non-open-source AND non-free-software. https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html#fs-definition
@longpanda @horse_battery_staple
"stores various types of data efficiently, ensuring smooth performance and user experience" sounds exactly like "storing these tracking cookies for your enhanced experience on our site"
@trevor People in lemmy open-source community not seeing the relevancy of the open-source guarantee of F-Droid... SMH
@trevor What are you talking about? If they can't build it themselves without proprietary stuff, then it doesn't get published. That's not a mere "guideline".
@birdcat they do this to all new accounts now, especially the mostly inactive ones. I think one way to get around the phone requirement is to use a proton email and setup 2FA immediately after creating the account. Then again, proton is flagging new accounts with signup confirmation emails too, so... yeah... leave github asap
