I do think that the Open Source community did undermine the Free Software movement.

<:Commie_ball:466404411535785995>

I'm not even a communist. I'm staunchly in favor of capitalism.

I actually think that catering to the premise of Intellectual Property, which is what the Open Source movement did, is very anti-capitalist.

Because Software Companies base their business model on the premise that you could treat Software as a physical good, which you can't.

These companies base their model on selling products that can effectively be infinitely reproduced by anybody. Which is insane.

That's an objectively terrible business model.

So, why are we using legislation and licensing to facilitate what is objectively a terrible business model?

I agree Stallman and the Free software is full of dumb communist hippies that think that the Free Software movement will usher in a communist utopia where hobbyists just make whatever software they want, and evil corporations won't make shitty proprietary software.

But that doesn't mean I don't agree with the Free Software philosophy coming from capitalist principles. I think that giving corporations the sole proprietorship to modify and distribute software stifles what should by all means should be freely and openly distributed.

Here's linus talking about why he underminded the FSF
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaKIZ7gJlRU&t=493s

notes: Open Source does not mean corporations have ' proprietorship to modify and distribute software' --i don't know where you heard that
Free Software movement does not give you more access to distribute code overall. You have to familiarize yourself with all the available licensing schemes. Many things called Free Software as in freedom, are actually less permissive. It's not free source code, you owe them back any changes.

Whereas with MIT license essentially all you owe them is to not remove their copyright from the original code or pretend you wrote it

The GPL3 is more than anything a license to protect the original author, and a set of rules and procedures you must follow in order to use his code

The problem with the Tivoization clause is that rather than just enforce compliance with the license, it now restricts you into the sort of product you will be allowed to release. You cant add any hardware barrier to a preconfigured linux tvbox/kiosk/etc. that keeps me from installing my own software such as a linux desktop distribution and using it as a cheap PC. It might be best to let me do this, but tbh it adds extra liabilities

Such as you buy a little tv streaming box that runs its UI on linux, and then your spergy little hacker son uses it to boot into a linux desktop and watch PornHub at 7fps.

Parents have no way of preconcieving that this would be possible with the right knowhow. Now you have a lawsuit on your hands

GPL3 is also known as viral -- they dont just want your changes, they want your full project if it uses any GPL code. Actually half the crowd disagrees on this and half attempts to verbally enforce it. So half the people using GPL3 dont even understand it

have fun sorting this out
https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/167773/how-does-the-gpl-static-vs-dynamic-linking-rule-apply-to-interpreted-languages

Disclaimer: I used to thronk GPL3 was a chill guy, now i'm just kinda stuck on it cause i like hacking GZDOOM src

a lot of businesses have zero-GPL policies, not even for output.

Is GZDoom still the most popular source port?

I've lost track, because there was just this point in time where you'd have a source port of the week.

ya Zdoom is no longer in dev

GZDoom is the best and most maintained and versatile modern source port

Chocolate Doom is still the best port for barebones-authenticity of the original games, and GZDoom is the best for heavy modding/hacking

although arguably for Boom-compatible mods, PRBoom+ will have much faster performance in OpenGL than GZDoom

I just want a legit source port of Blood. That's all I want.

how about a java port of blood <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

dont hold your breath of a source port of blood, as irr they have lost the code

https://www.moddb.com/games/blood/news/bloodgdx-a-blood-sourceport-released

https://www.moddb.com/games/bloodcm

that mod was a reverse engineered port the actual code is part mia

the fact that the build engine is open source did help them alot

did you know Build2 is out?

nope

BloodGDX is super

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qtmkkdND6M

I havent tried Bloodgdx just cause i hate java 🤣

Although kinda trippy having to RMB a .jar file and choosing to run java on it

but $20 says "muh russia" will continue

that sounds oddly familiar

I remember some posters on reddit whom only talked about how great Iran was

Even the way they wrote made it all seem like actual talking points

I remember some strange astroturfing on that "why westerners shouldn't wipe themselves" post

```Iranian imposter content on the anti-Trump subreddits like r/MarchAgainstTrump gained considerable traction. ```

Iran gets the 280mm Atomic shell

Coaraline believes the great lie of Open Source is that you would have equal ownership, IE equal concentrations of power between all contributors, from the lowly PR peasant, to apparently the Creator of Linux himself.

This is of course unprecedented. You've never had equal ownership--depending on the author's license of choice you typically have less rights to use the code than the author--who can do whatever they want with it, while you must abide their license.
This goes the same or even more so when it comes to distribution of power pertaining to decisionmaking within the project itself--it is solely at the project creator's discretion, fork it if you don't like it.
Wot a fuggin deludanoid.

He is literally pissed because Linus made it to the top of his own project <:thronk:441701565607444482>

I'm to guess that all the stas she shows here are pulled from her stat farms on github, not some other unbiased source

Commandment 11 : "When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him."

Commandment 2: "Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them."

yea i did see that mentioned, a little conspiratorial for my liking but will keep an eye on it

much of Lavey's bible was plagiarized from Might Makes Right, which was obscure and forgotten at the time

"Many (most/all?) of the notable 'rants' that are highlighted of Linus going off are not to first time offenders, they are not to innocent victims or noobs just dipping their toe into the development process that deserve benefit of the doubt."

"What Sarah Sharp and others of her kind have been trying to do for years is to impose the American corporate culture on the Linux development community. I think it is a horrible culture, and the Linux community should do well to ignore such people. I like the fact that the 'old timers' in Linux dev are brutally honest. I think it helped Linux become the success it is today."

If Linus is stepping away why even honour all the hard work and time he has put into making Linux what it is today and rename it just to spite him like the petulant children we are

are we going to live through the death of linux?

atm I feel like its all saber rattling

we are going to live through the death of the careers of people who are trying to kill Linux

and then it'll pick right back up

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

oh

good

seems like a stupid place for a last stand

That is was my initial impression when I heard of and read the story

but I really don't think they are going to do anything significant

baww your meritocracy that absolutely doesn't discriminate based on any personal traits beyond ability to do the work required doesn't pander to my feels, we demand you change your wildly successful platform to suit our whims

yeah good luck playing the long game with that tactic

So that’s what the SJWs are complaining about?

muh meritocracy is privilege

hard to be a winner if you are a total failure of a looser that have the only defining trait of going around in womans underwear in public

I hope Puma scrolls up all 3 days of this

I hope he dosen't

because I just skimed most of it and I got eye cancer from it

well arent you privileged to have both eyesight and literacy

*hssssssss* 😾

that was supposed to be a witch but theres no witch emoji

which is uninclusive in itself and it makes chaos magickians not feel safe

If they can ruin linux and furry they will also ruin satanism, my my what a time to be alive!

@Puma Wow, stuff like that could easily be interpreted as and admission that "minorities have no merit to the work we're doing"

TIL The left are also race realist

@Legiondude Thats kinda been their main point every single fkn time.

Im getting annoyed about it

It's more the bigotry of low expectations than race realism. Though those 2 terms are becoming almost synonymous

Nah, you know what? Part of what's holding this shitty world together is that there's someone there that if you fuck with them too much they have a "fuck you" button to retaliate with.

These guys are holding a gun to the head of the Linux kernel, and I hope they actually pull the fucking trigger. Sometimes shit's gotta burn.

It's not like there aren't even plausible replacements for Linux. I've been gunning for ReactOS for awhile.

or Windows

no, Microsoft signed off on the Contributor Covenant too

its chill coz i never update

which Windows version are you running?

7

eh, that's okay I guess

the issue mostly affects w10

I'm planning to upgrade to 8.1 pro and i have the disc and key i just havent actually needed to upgrade for any reason <:GWcmeisterPeepoShrug:403295315685539852>

don't, it's mega die

well i wont write over my 7 install

i hope Micros' new leadership quits to go work at EA or something

restore the greatness that once was

Not updating windows makes me reeee.

it's a bit of a massive security issue, hopefully you have Windows 7 at the latest version already

All of the widespread cyber attacks that you constantly hear about are always done on outdated versions of Windows.

With exploits that Microsoft already patched months ahead.

y'all need http://ubuntuce.com/

jesuntu?

Man, I heard of people worshipping Linux, but this is something else.

Yes also Lerna is pro MS-13
https://github.com/lerna/lerna/pull/1616

and these are just cribbed from the nigga ESR's pretty interesting blog

``They all have their excuses, but the fact is that these companies care only about the millions of dollars that ICE is paying them and are willing to ignore all the horrible things that ICE does.``
--or maybe they also care about illegal immigration <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

Daily reminder that restricting your license in an update does not mean people can no longer use what theyre already using. They have the original license and can continue to use the current iteration of the software. They simply wouldnt be able to use any new versions.

So ICE-affiliated companies could easily just freeze their version unless it is a program that sees and needs continued support

srsly

lol sneaky

just be like fuck this nigga too and pull his name off

im not sure what actually happened here but it looks bad

this anti-mertocracy crowd are equity/equality of outcome morons
