Not downvoting because I appreciate the effort…but ChatGPT is about as opposite from the ethos of open source as you can get imho. 😄
Hmm, let's leave GPT and this extension aside for now, those are just themes. But what bothers me here is that it seems (correct me if I'm wrong) you are saying that a closed source platform necessarily makes a foss plugin meaningless?
All right, I'll correct you because you're wrong.
What bothers me is an open source tool enhancing a proprietary service which by its very nature breaks open source licensing and in face copyright protections of all sorts across the entire internet.
I'm here on Lemmy because I liked RIF and RES.
Reddit, the proprietary platform, made those pieces of software obsolete, and not in a good way.
I'm pretty sure open source software can extend closed license, proprietary even obfuscated software. That's the cool thing about open source.
It's just... Whether it's worth the effort to hang your hat on proprietary software.... That bit quite a few 3rd party Reddit apps in the ass
lol no it doesn't. what in the world gave you that idea?
