「Bolshevik chorus intensifies 」
When you program closed source, you invite spies and saboteurs to utilize your exploits.
When you enforce IP holdings, you steal from the public.
We are locked into surviving by capitalism the same way we are locked into commuting by car.
WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT OUR CHAINS!
Is your keyboard breeding Bolsheviks?
That is a very interesting question. Are you asking because I used the 「 … 」brackets?
When I’ve posted on Lemmy before, the pointy brackets < … > sometimes don’t show, nor will anything in between them, so I chose a different set not knowing what they are.
I think the Japanese use them when they’re quoting something. I could be wrong, though.
Calling open source communism aside, capitalism and those who benefit the most from it probably absolutely HATE the largest open source projects because the more people use those, the less likely they are to use their telemetry based spy/bloatware.
Imagine trying to make a paid video/audio file player in today’s day and age and going up against the titan that is VLC. Or an audio editor/playback program in similar fashion to Audacity. Two of the biggest open source programs that I imagine just about anyone who has used a computer has probably heard of and/or used at some point.
Well, Reaper is more popular with musicians than Audacity, and it follows the Winrar business model
Didn’t know that. Fair enough for them.
actually, communists program free/libre and reject open source as corporate 🤓
/hjnot sure if this referring to anything specifically but M$ has lots of open source stuff and also invests in Linux - just saying.
It was their CEO’s stated opinion around the turn of the millennium: https://www.theregister.com/2000/07/31/ms_ballmer_linux_is_communism/
Forgot to check the community, didn’t realize they were just makin a meme
24 years ago is a long ass time ago haha
Lmao that is the dumbest take on linux ive seen and it made my day
That guy is coding open source software on a 1998 bondi blue iMac.
A spectre is haunting your computer
Oh gee whiz, I’m glad I like communism then 😅
Microsoft advertising open source? Maybe open source isn’t that good after all?
