It is! Open Source is about more than the source being viewable, it’s about ensuring the rights of the user to view, use, modify and redistribute software without impediment. Because this licence puts restrictions on redistribution, it’s not an Open Source licence.
Here is the full Open Source Definition.
The four freedoms relate to the heavily overlapping concept of Free Software.
No, it’s not. It’s licenced under the “Source First Licence” which prohibits commercial use, violating the four freedoms and the Open Source Definition.

This sounds a little like the AT protocol (or my weak understanding of it). AFAICT on a protocol level your identity and personal data is decoupled from a content aggregator.
There’s a start stand up button?? I’ve never seen that - what does it even do?
XMPP is the standard messaging protocol. I recommend Conversations for android, but of course any worthwhile protocol has multiple independent frontends.
I fundamentally disagree with the idea that “programming sucks” but there are some neat thoughts and tools in there.
This bit in particular:
We don’t even have to give up code! The GUI version of a program could merely be one of several human-editable representations. Just as some people love text-based interfaces to their operating systems, some people will continue to enjoy code-based interfaces to software editing. It just doesn’t have to be the default—or the only—option anymore.
I’ve often thought about the idea that to an extent a programming syntax does not have to be married to a language. We could potentially have editors and syntaxes designed so that each developer can interact with the code in the syntax they’re most comfortable with, independent of the language. I don’t know how realisable this is, it may be underestimating how tightly coupled syntax and language is.
I’m not a big fan of graphical programming in general, but there are times when I would like it just for a single function or class, for signal processing or control systems or state machines. I usually think of this in terms of editor plugins or external code gen tools rather than whole environments. Although every code gen tool I’ve used to date sucks.
Have a look through the history section. The concept of periodicity substantially predates the quantisation of the atom. The modern table certainly considers atomic orbitals to be key, but the groups were absolutely created based on common properties.
Isn’t a database only as global as you make it? The connection is surely a real object that needs to be passed around and referenced just like any other.
I don’t really touch JavaScript or web dev so I might be misunderstanding the domain usage.
