^^^

this

It’s a trait, not a feature

I love open source software where it exists
I'm not telling anyone to give me free s††† that's panhandling

^

consumers do not care about open source and it is therefore irrelevant to 95% of people

Lol

Yeah, it does not mean, it is better. However, I could potentially look, what it is doing.

ive seen great devs harassed by fossfags begging for free code

Like using wallet with closed source for crypto currencies. Just stupid using this.

i know its now 10x harder to accomplish even the most basic task and i have to memorize an entire programming language just to operate it, but hey, it was *open source!*

in a perfect world we'd have perfect transparency

You can tweet your private keys, equally stupid.

i wont disagree on that point

open source is just tech communism

most people want the mainstream platform because its less work to work with in teams etc

gibs me source code

Woke radeon

yes, moar free code

f††† the politics

gib gamez

as if anyone is obligated to share their intellectual property simply because it happens to be in code form

You dont have to do it on your own, there are security experts out there. The possibility of somebody looking at the code, makes it more accountable.

id love to see an 'open source digital art' movement

what about cc0 assets

OpenGameArt.com or something

@radeon you penis drawing?

Creative Commons.

I worked with an Open Source Rapper once but he's kinda a pain in the ass

but it has no traction. There are sites like Jamendo for CC music, but not well known.

open source kills off careers for legitimate coders, why write your own code when you can copy paste someone elses work?

The fuck is that @M4Gunner

How do you open source rap?

@M4Gunner my point was that intellectual property is respected unless its code.

Well Carmack would give code up once the value proposition for the engine sublicensing had run out. It can be pretty important to get your money while you can

I am not a native english speaker, so this is hard for me to explain.

What are you then?

I'm sorry, I'll use less slang

However, there is a difference between copyright and exploitation rights.

And there are different license models. You, for yourself, can never loose your copyright. This is the case in the EU.

also, controversial topic, but android is the only non-windows OS with an ecosystem even remotely large enough to be useful, and x86 android distros exist

What the rapper did was upload a bunch of raw vocal tracks, as well as a long thing he wrote about what kind of music he would want someone to make with it. So anyone could download a vocal and make a song, but he wasnt very helpful in recording.
He would record stereo to only one channel, and when you ask him about it he would say "I'm not a producer bro sorry"

Linux on desktop is fringe.

On server-side and for development it is more popular.

@M4Gunner he sounds like a lazy fuck

thats its only use lol

Early in his career several notable international acts worked with him, and then everybody decided he was a shite troll and f†††ed him properly off.

if you arent a programmer or computer scientist then you have no use for linux

yeah but linux is still *cool*

i threw out my linux install disks just because i had no use for them

You can do 99% of your daily computer routines with a Linux system.

yea sure its neat but i dont have a need to act like im superior because my OS is obscure

I keep an Ubuntu flash drive, just Incase

@radeon but my moral superiority

how do you know someone runs linux? don't worry, they'll tell you.

There is always a tradeoff between freedom (Linux) and living in your parents house (Microsoft Windows). 😛

If you needed a ton of running systems you might consider linux in lieu of buying 20 win licenses

Second is more comfortable for you.

freedom is having the tools you *want*

Linux will never tell you "fuck your current task, I'm installing updates and rebooting, bitch."

Haha

Mac: Linux with usable interface

I always roll my eyes when people struggle to get simple things to work, like routing audio to stream shit.

linux tell every new user "fuckoff and give me the root password. know what that is?"

theres also a tradeoff between downloading literally any program you like and having a guarantee it will work the first time versus having to plug a monitor to your laptop because fucking *Linux Mint* can't make sense of Nvidia drivers

Yeah, Mac OSX is nice, but I hate Apple.

Only Ubuntu does that. One of the reasons I don't recommend Ubuntu.

NVidia drivers are shite for me right now anyway

Tfw windows can’t update on your computer

also telemetry

GNU/Linux has a nice permissions system, that Ubuntu defeats by telling everyone "start by opening a terminal, then `sudo gedit /etc/...`

nvidia itself is shite

windows absolutely cannot update on my system

*faps harder to Linux tears*

you need to fucking make a geforce account just to update drivers

Lol

No FreeBSD guys here.

but it was very hard to install win7 on Skylake

gsync is dead so no adaptive sync unless you wanna drop $200 more than an erquivilent freesync panel, also dx12 says hi

well if anyone wanted to talk about how cool FreeBSD was, i'd hear them out

freebsd is like next level asshatery

How do you gamers feel about crypto increasing the costs of graphic cards. Salty?

What is freeBSD

imagine being so up youre own ass you feel the need to use an OS i have literally never even seen running ever just to flex on linux niggas

How do you feel about not having good games?

again though, gamers run the mainstream OS, thats never gonna change

freebsd is also completely useless

there are just no reasons to use it

it doesn't do anything linux doesn't

I bought my 960 already before crypto hit

except to be edgy

Lol

i got a fury pre-coinfags runing the market

Bakeon is laying it hard

@radeon you’re sober today?

im out of green

both kinds

That explains it

@radeon steal from da gubment

Anyway, non-power users can enjoy Linux just as much as Windows, if not more.
