Yeah looks like its back up. I'm guessing they made it private and had a change of heart. When I checked earlier, it would 404, and db0's fork now references the earlier fork in the chain rather than this one.
Fair enough. I noticed that one from the fork you made. I just assumed that's where Patrick forked it from originally.
Looks like they've deleted their repo for tesseract.
Probably for the best given their credibility as a FOSS dev is shot now anyway. But at least nobody else will unwittingly walk into their curated enforced bubble.

Sure, variations of it will probably be. In the same way a fork of mastodon is used for Trumps truth social platform, despite it being a predominantly left application.
The key thing you're not considering about open source is the lack of central governance. Ubuntu can decide to impose age checks, arch could decide it requires TPM setup, and fedora could choose to move to a licensing fee model. All would be independent decisions however, and only affect the respective distro and any built from it, yet they're all called Linux.
Besides, with all open source applications, anything implemented can be reverted by someone else. The code is licensed publicly for this exact reason.
So is Anna but with less effort.
For all my sins, thank fuck I'm not an American.
Exactly. Now that your head is on the block, you see it as a problem. But when it was all those Mexican kids ripped from their families during the biden administration, or all the orphaned Afghanis during Obamas, the status quo continued.
The story with the US regime is always the same, a self serving nation at the expense of other nations with the added caveat that its own citizens are now fair game.
You're so close to understanding why there is so much contempt for America on the world stage. Keep going and hopefully you'll realise the only solution you should be fighting for is the dissolution of the united states. The death of the empire will benefit all except those the empire actually serves.
Ah so you weren't interested in the overseas sentiment at all, you're just looking to excuse yourself from the culpability.
Atleast we know which category you fit in I guess.
The 'response from overseas' comes from a decade of watching trump politics gain favour in the US. Massive rallies about making America great again, and taking your country back rhetorics, even after all the Epstein stuff came about, the religion of trump flourished in America.
Sure, you can claim that he's a dictator now. But only because americans have allowed him to become one. That's why the overall sentiment from the rest of the world is negative. Americans made this monster, and now it's the world that has to deal with his bullshit.
That's not to say america wasn't already fucking everyone else over, that's the American way and has been happening since they discovered stars and put them on fabric. But Trump has exacerbated that issue, and the American people are complicit for supporting the growth of such a monster; it's fresh to Americans, because now even the American people are on the receiving end. But for the rest of us, this is the same story just worse.
I'm not saying this applies to you personally btw, I'm just trying to share the honest sentiment around Americans as a whole. There will undoubtedly be exceptions to the rule, but from an overseas perspective, there's been nowhere near enough.
