From the linked discussion it looks like there's a new feature rolling out where mods can activate "automatic ban evasion protection" during a ban. Mods don't get given any additional info about the user but it gets set up automatically on the back end.
Their current app uses a cross platform framework that allowed them to write their app once and then publish to both iOS and Android. That system is no longer well supported and was causing them issues implementing passkeys on mobile. They've been working on rewriting the app individually for each platform using the platform's specific language. That's generally Java on Android and Swift on iOS. It's more work, but ideally the apps should be more responsive, better follow each platforms style guidelines, and have access to all features on the platform.
If you had read the very short blog post you would have learned that they wanted to merge in some GPL licensed code contributions. This sort of behavior is exactly what the GPL copyleft language is intended to encourage.
All source files have individual comment headers with the original authors and license identifier. It's not the full license text but I do believe that style is compliant.
I have the exact same setup. It works perfectly and integrates really well into home assistant if that's your thing. Getting a coral TPU also makes object detection really easy even on low power hardware.
Existing code is MIT licensed, that's their permission. Sublicensing without restriction is one of the parts of MIT.
Maybe we could use all the time, effort, and money spent on hostile architecture on shelter. Instead we throw resources into park benches that suck at being benches.
I agree that for action economy reasons it makes the most sense to allow Ready to bypass the more generic doesn't trigger reactions text. The open-endedness of Ready trigger I think would also support this. You don't need to specifically identify movement, stride, or any other keyword the way other reactions do.
But also mate which is hot, caffeinated, leaf juice, is a-ok and totally not tea.
It's a campground chain in the US.
The concept as I understand it is that Threads has the sheer volume of content to completely drown out the existing Fedi content if it fully opens the floodgates. If that occurs and say 90% of content becomes Threads and then they start making Threads only extensions to Activity Pub, servers will have to start patching those in and the Activity Pub project is defacto owned by Meta.
People also have issues with the Meta content moderation and the population on Threads, but as you noted that's fixable on an individual and community level. The existential threat to the future of the Fediverse is why servers should defederate. Meta can't and shouldn't be trusted with any amount of power over this community project.
