The dominance of libertarianism, and pro corporate licensing within the FOSS world is disgusting and annoying me. I don’t have any articles or anything that is hard proof. But I do have this github post and graph I guess

And the other thing I have? A hunch no-i-in-pezza

I’m glad the software is free, but come the fuck on. “Problematic” for fucking who?? Google? It better be!

Thank you dessalines for having a spine, and choosing a proper license.

And the site that they link? It’s not only highly pro corporate but also fucking lying!!!

It doesn’t prevent you from selling shit!!! Shut the fuck up!!! I’m not making my work a way for you to easily profit, give shit back or fuck off maddened

They can keep making the shit that they do, but I ain’t committing a single line of code to that fucker.

  • Yeah, I remember having multiple conversations with other STEM bros about this, even back in the first Trump term. My argument was always that I should care much more about American software spying on me because they directly give that data to the US government, and the US government is the one that can arrest me, send goons to my house, can shut my bank account, etc. What is the Chinese government going to do to me with the info? And they just got really mad but couldn’t refute me.

      I am going full power on mine. We talk about how there were no wmd, how the government lies. Then I slowly hit him with “so, anything the government says is probably a lie right” then I hit them about the anti Chinese propaganda. Just watching YouTube videos of the DPRK being chill.

        If they belive the Chinese police have the organizational force to infiltrate US territory extrajudicially operate then the only rational choice is to defect
