i’d argue its better for software to max foss license like AGPL, not bsd that can be taken out by companies

You sound like someone i know xD

But I think gpl isn’t limited to software, or is it ? Anyhow, you have different varaites of Create Commons, depending on much limits you put, from 0(nothing) to 4(no commercial use, no remix etc.) they have license chooser on website here

They can put as much ads as they wan’t they will be blocked, and there always will be a way to block them.

Competition is useless, better to have federated networks and do videos for profit and find other ways to pay for content to support content creators if they need support. Block ads everywhere, work in those fields is better than calling for competition and creating competitor that will win over google and become new google.

There will be adblocker to block this also don’t worry.

Yeah I’m not for UBI that much, and don’t see anyone working towards global VAT. I was comparing that worry about AI that is gonna destroy humanity is not possible, it’s just scifi.

It replaced content writers, replacing digital artists, replacing programmers. In a sense they fire unexeprieced ones because ai speeds up those with more experience.

Fair point, but AI is part of it, I mean it exists in capitalist system. This AI Singularity apocalypse is like not gonna happen in 99%, AI within capitalism will affect us badly.

just wait until you hear about humans.txt, it really exitst here

Ah, AI doesn’t pose as danger in that way. It’s danger is in replacing jobs, people getting fired bc of ai, etc.

Don’t know who is ignorant here. Open source is bad term to be used, coopted by big tech, end of story.

That it does

Yeah, I could put more thought into this meme, but it is what it is. When I get time I’ll remake it.

Google, Meta and Microsoft are bad. Yes they are.

But I’m good. I want to dictate who can use open-source software and how!

If I’m good or bad is not the issue here. And I’m not dicatating anything. I don’t really get what you want to say ?

So I guess my question to you use, how does a corporation making money from something it shares with the public negatively impact you?

For example email,now it’s very dificult to self host email and not get caught with spam filter dictated by big tech. Entire internet really, before we had personal websites, community forums then reddit came and take over the forums making profit of off it. There are many examples. It is true that this techno landscape now is mirror image of relations we have in our society, rich getting richer and exploint poorer, in most banal sense. In linux they put/or are putting in subscription system to unlock cpu cores only if you pay, even when you bought processor.

Look around more and you can find a lot of other examples, one more is EEE(embrace, extend, extinguis) of xmpp.

People seem to appreciate companies very much, even getting glad that “great meta is using activitypub with threads and we are all gonna be happy”, in reality we won’t. They will just co-opt fediverse and EEE it.

Me personally am on most FOSS hardvare and software I can be on this moment. If I find time to make feaseble to use more FOSS stuff and get away from all the corpos I will do that for sure. But only me, and small ammount of people going that way is not the solution. It has to be mass movement to ditch the corpos once and for all.

Maybe some examples would be in order.

I agree on that. I’m looking into writting about FOSS funding with examples and proposing solutions for this issue. Just that takes a long time and a meme is easier.

Sorry, I’m a bit nervous. So my comments might be a bit cranky.

Point is it’s not bad to get info even from 10mo ago, we have usefult text from 70s, 80s etc.

Why I made this post is because of a rule here of no memese. The point was to start a discussion about realtionship big tech have with FOSS community. Hence the meme in the first comment. Rules don’t approve memese so I posted some video about FOSS funding to post a meme as a first comment.

firefox is not that clear, they get funding by google for putting google as default search engine thus helping google. We have a problem with FOSS funding

that is a whip

And you hearing old events is bad how exactly ?

from where ? I made it lol, idk if it was shared somewhere else before

edit: thought you were referencing the meme, not the video, sry anyway, why does it matter that 10months old ?

edit2: foss funding is broken still
