It’s built on top of Devuan which is a fork of Debian which uses Linux.

Apparently Devuan is “Debian without systemd”. 🤡🤡🤡

I would stay away! systemd provides so many well-designed APIs that are helpful for server management.

Also most projects that promote not using systemd are weird ideologues at this point.

It’s so bleak how little money they can spend to influence entire countries.

The NED is currently funding two programs in Haiti aimed at influencing political parties. It has contributed US$224,873 to its Strengthening Political Party Accountability and Civic Engagement program in addition to US$300 000 to the NDI for its Strengthening New Political Parties program.

​While these sums may seem small, in a country as impoverished as Haiti they can have profound effects.

Of course the article says that isn’t all the money involved

​In May 2023, author Jake Johnston revealed that “USAID allocated $5 million to support elections in Haiti.” The funds were given to the “Consortium for Elections & Political Process Strengthening,” which is made up of NED tentacles, the IRI and NDI, and the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES).​

It says “coming soon”, which I guess probably means it’s a somewhat second-class feature.

Seems pretty neat. Hopefully it’s somewhat simple to compile and set up. It’s kind of weird that livekit is VC funded though. Not necessarily the best, since they might have to relicense it to make investors happy at some point.

Look at their list of investors: https://livekit.io/about

The programmability aspect of LiveKit is cool, not that it matters much since this “meet” app is just something built on top of livekit.

Hopefully it will include focusing on getting things like inputfd (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/110) added to the spec, and not just stuff that would be useful to Valve/Steam (so they can sell more games on their own Linux systems).
