OBS project on Streamlabs’ use of their name: https://nitter.snopyta.org/OBSProject/status/1460782968633499651

Half-assed statement issued by Streamlabs: https://nitter.snopyta.org/streamlabs/status/1461044715634135046

The Streamlabs company tries to resolve its damaged public image by claiming that they’ve used Lightstream’s webpage UI and text as “placeholder”: https://nitter.snopyta.org/streamlabs/status/1460742180352450568

I was quite surprised how much twitter pushed this I thought it was common knowledge.

What is libre culture?

Libre culture is all about empowering people. While the general philosophy stems greatly from the free software movement, libre culture is much broader and encompasses other aspects of culture such as music, movies, food, technology, etc.

Some beliefs include but aren’t limited to:

That copyright should expire after a certain period of time.
That knowledge should be available to people, not locked away.
That no entity should have unjust control or possession of others.
That mass surveillance is about mass control, not justice.
That we can all band together to help liberate each other.

Rules

I’ve looked into the ways other forums handle rules, and I’ve distilled their policies down into two simple ideas.

Please show common courtesy: Let’s make this community one that people want to be a part of.
Please keep posts generally on topic
No NSFW content
When sharing a Libre project, please include the name of its license in the title. For example: “Project name and summary (GPL-3.0)”

Libre culture is a very very broad topic, and while it’s perfectly okay for a conversation to stray, I do ask that we keep things generally on topic.
