One of the algorithms I invented for my company is called GANDALF (its an acronym).. but for copyright reasons we decided to name our mascot "Gandalfo the off-white wizard".... someone asked me if he has magical powers, I said "Just one, the power to avoid copyright laws"
@lonelyowl While alot of my tech is open source sadly this one is not. Otherwise id love it!
Most of the stuff i've written is non-free :<
I've worked on a couple crappy android apps as a hired developer, and none of them are open source.
Sometimes i feel bad about it, like i'm a subhuman dev who can't publish anything meaningful.
I have done a fuck ton of open source stuff, but only a small fraction directly makes me money.
You can see the full list of my projects on my front page: https://JeffreyFreeman.me
That said I've probably done as much work or more that is proprietary, probably more. I dont feel bad, I feel there should be a mix of both in the world.
Even now as I am spinning up my new company (we recently got funding) I am trying to decide the balance between the two.
It yused to. It isnt up right now because i have not had time to repair the database.
In fact, I was the first one to implement groups on the fedi (and quite a few other features :))
@freemo @lonelyowl The balance between the two is Military adoption or maybe convincing IBM that Microsoft will suffer.
That's really impressive list!
...
Wait, does qoto have groups?
