Ubuntu comes bundled with NVIDIA drivers and snap store. Would you say they are not open source either?
Not yet. For now it's a browser extension for chromium browsers
The OSI committee wouldn't agree with you. But to each their own I suppose
It is. You can use your storage or fork and alter it if you don't like the default.

Show HN: Amurex – A cursor like copilot for meetings but also open source

tldr:I built Amurex, an open source Chrome extension for meeting transcription, real-time suggestions, and automated follow-ups.I’ve tried every transcription and meeting tool out there, and none of them worked the way I needed. So, I built Amurex:- No clunky bots joining or announcing themselves.- Accurate, clean transcripts delivered right after the meeting.- Auto-generated follow-ups that I...
