Loops became Open Source!

You should haggle a bit mate. I think a few things are on the table here.

It is a time of predatory billionaires grabbing all forms of media. It would not surprise me if he did get offers. It would also be very unprofessional to broadcast the valuation of Loops and Pixelfed while turning down the offer. It would be like recording and showing someone asking for a date and getting rejected.
He open sourced the "code". If you actually look in detail, there's no actual working code.
He also disabled issues on GitHub, so there's no way to report bugs (and thus discuss his code).
While he could be getting offers, everything about it just feels like a scam.

Pardon my ignorance, I am new to the fediverse and have no idea what I’m doing.
But, when I signed up for loops on the website, I had to wait 3 days for them to send me a link to download a test-flight app for loops. I cannot recall if TestFlight is standard on iPhone or if I downloaded it previously.Test flight is opt in if I remember correctly and allows you to download beta versions of apps. So I would assume you signed up or activated it or whatever for an app.

not just "off vibes", he posts a bunch of shit that people call him out on, and then deletes it

Could you elaborate? I'm not a developer but the repo does appear to be populated. Someone in the Mastodon replies said he might have forgotten to push some commits, are y'all alluding to the same thing?
I don't have the requisite competency to see what you're saying so I'd love more info on what you mean and why you think that

Not even a surprise open sourcing...
Nvidia did it better

Would it be more or less if Adam wasn't eating your ass?
-
Nah. If you've ever run a mildly popular website, you'd know that you get spammed with ads for seo, content marketing, and buyout requests.

It wasn't. He had previously said that he would open source it after it had become more stable, but there was a lot of skepticism that he would follow through.

Now he can tell the next guy that $20k isnt enough, because he was already offered it by AdamEatsAss last year

Can't wait to see AdamEatsAss's changes to bluesky, he will take the company down the right path

Sweet... this is the first time I've ever actually used vaporware. Typically I never get a chance, but it's impressive that Dan was able to release vaporware.

Nice, and now we're just changing definitions of words to match what we think they should mean. That's so woke.
