Wait, why the fuck does RFK even want one…? I guess I’m totally out of the loop on this…

:(

May she rest in peace.

I assume it’s probably a colossal process to uproot and move infrastructure, but personally I see that eventual hassle as being better than the project never getting enough momentum in the first place.

I think once you actually have a project and audience you can make all the most ideal choices but they do come with costs that really matter when you’re just starting things

I recognize I’m no expert on running these projects though

For all intents and purposes different Linux distros are different operating systems, built with some number of overlapping components (including the Linux kernel after which they’re named) so unfortunately no :/

Best of luck to you in whatever changes you decide you wanna pursue!

Is it better for them to build an open source app and host their meetings on Zoom, a platform familiar to the audience they’re hoping to bring, or for them to just not, and for local cooperative banks to all build their own in-house proprietary banking apps with no open source option existing?

I’d really like it if we stopped letting perfect be the enemy of good. My credit union uses an app that’s just a webview wrapper for their website. I haven’t taken a look at the project but a native app built as an open source community project would be fucking awesome, regardless of whether they host video meetings with zoom or jitsi.

They want their project to succeed. A free software project that dies doesn’t actually provide anyone with freedoms; hosting with the more well known and familiar video hosting software when they have no existing audience is the right choice.
