I think they should consider the word “wages” instead.
Let’s be honest, this is compensation for skilled labour.

I would need the iOS app to properly back up photos before I paid for it lol.
archy@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I don’t think you pay for the iOS app, only the server portion can be licensed AFAIK
EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 3 months ago
You’re correct but what I mean is I’m not paying for it until it’s a stable product with a complete basic feature set. As in, I need the back up software to back up reliably, it’s does have to be totally complete.

I’m not sure what the right model is to get money flowing in. It seems like they took the easy route. 100 dollars for a server licence is not really that small amount considering that most server users are families? I would have preferred massive fund raising campaigns … I’m a bit lazy and need lots of nagging to get my credit card out … But its right these guys get some income for their work. As long as code remains AGPL … I bet soon there will be a fork like happened with Emby. I ended up purchasing the server licence a a few month later moved to the forked version …🙂

What happened with Emby? I’ve used their service for a long time and have been very happy with their lifetime premium.

It used to be an open source project, then at some point the developers moved it to closed source. In reaction to this, a couple of people forked the last open source version of emby and launched it as an open source project (again) named jellyfin.
It is still open source and under active development, and has a significant userbase. Especially on Lemmy I think it’s much preferred by people to emby (or at least more vocally supported).

Also been happy with emby, but am also curious about jellyfin

As soon as there’s a proper backup, better built in Google photos import (immich-go exists and is awesome) and a before way to clean up the orphaned files I’ll gladly drop 100 bucks on this.
My wife and i have been using it for a year. I already had all my docker volumes set external (was always confused at that initial choice) and I’ve not had one real breaking change. Got logged out a lot after some patches but it’s been brilliant software so far. App is a little wonky and could def use some polish but overall well worth the cost for me. Same with my Plex pass although i wouldn’t buy one nowadays because i think it’s a but much for something that’s not in anyway a “private” service unless you kind of jail it and only play locally.

What is the context of this? License vs unlicensed? What’s going on?

Tldr is that theyre going for a winrar model where you have an infinite free trial, but the app is technically paid

Except it doesn’t annoy you with popups trying to get you to buy Immich every time you open the app

Better but not best as they could just ask for funding and do a biyearly funding campaign
Blisterexe@lemmy.zip 3 months ago
Except this makes them a LOT more money than what you’re suggesting, and also theyre trying to normalise the winrar model in oss

I’m talking about optional donations via something like Librepay. For instance, Thunderbird prompts you to donate on first launch. The raised about a million dollars doing that. It was non invasive and easily dismissible

Foss and community driven is just that, not money making . This is not foss anymore

Does not really matter what wording they will put in. It is clear that project will go to pay or get nothing way. So just start working on decommissioning it. Free software really need better ways to pay developers, that will allow to avoid crap like that.

Remember when sco used suse’s “seat license” wording and was totally hated - like “pitch forks and torches” hated - for it?
I’m only glad you werent suing someone for massive contract breach, for a value so large that a million dollar smear campaign was a drop on the bucket.
Sorry you ran into a mix-up like this.

I consider open source software to be community owned/maintained so I never liked the idea of selling the software. It makes much more sense to my eyes to sell services surrounding the software be it support, customizations, or even hosted services.
I can’t really get over selling a “license” for a software that is expected to still be maintained by unpaid contributors. Especially under an AGPL license where any licensing changes has to be approved by every contributors.

Yeah this getting into a fake toss shit . All starts with FUTO crap and some previous shady movements they did . This will die eventually

How is it “fake Foss” when you can just download and run the code without paywalled features and not spending anything.
