[01:08] <thafreak> Been a while, but what does everyone think about pureism's new service offerings?
[01:09] <thafreak> And by been a while, I mean since I was actually active here...
[01:10] <thafreak> And by purism I guess I'm actually refering to their "librem one" services
[01:11] <Unit193> About all I know is that DDs get discounts.
[11:40] <dzho> they're taking a little-to-no moderation approach, which has a lot of fediverse folks in a lather
[11:41] <dzho> free software folk seem to be taking a skeptical wait-and-see approach to how well they work as a downstream project with their upstreams.
[11:44] <dzho> that's generally speaking. There seems to be a dispersion of opinion there along the branding axis, but the saltiness there may be coming from people who don't quite get how the constraints of trademark intersect the constraints of FOSS licensing.
[11:45] <dzho> imagine, for instance, people complaining that CentOS wasn't giving enough credit to Red Hat because CentOS removed all the Red Hat branding, or that Ubuntu wasn't crediting Debian enough because of same.
[11:45] <dzho> If you don't understand that trademark all but requires this, you'd see it as underhanded.
