Yes. I’m strongly in favor of noncommercial clauses in licenses. Because fuck capitalism.

It’s easy, just find some folks to unconditionally fulfill every need of yours without any expectation of anything in return, and live your entire life in that circumstance so you don’t know stress

The fact that so many people so firmly believe that MS is one of the good guys now is just bewildering to me. Like were they not alive in the 90s? This is classic embrace, extend, extinguish, as you say.

The only thing Microsoft is investing in is marketing to fool people into thinking they’re your friend. Remember that Copilot is automated open source license violation at scale. They’re building a tool to take your work, without crediting you, so others can use it without compensating you.

This is “love” in the same way an abusive relationship is “love”.

Insofar as “FOSS” is a specific, delineated, reified thing you can point to and describe, it doesn’t reject profit and capitalism when devs use licenses that enable corporations to use their work for free. That’s enablement, not rejection.

Yes I would, because then it’s easier to shoot him in the head.

Steve Ballmer also throws chairs at employees.

Came here to say the same thing. It’s gotta be satire. Almost everything is spelled correctly, just a lot of "bone apple tea"s, some of which don’t even make sense. Additionally, look at how neat the writing is! This is not typically the mark of someone who has problems with language.

Remember that the reason that there is no public transport or non-car options is because of the auto industry lobby. They have actively worked to eliminate rail and other means of public transit throughout North America and in every other country where they have a presence (e.g. Germany). The US used to have trains crisscrossing the entire nation. One of the few truly cross-country commuter lines that Amtrak still has is, fittingly, called the Empire Builder. Horrors of colonialism and imperialism aside, it’s a fitting name because trains really did build the US. They supplanted and replaced the Pony Express for delivering mail (and thus communication, something that older empires couldn’t manage) among so many other things, like freight and even livestock–and, of course, people.

Where’d they go? How come there are so few left? Ask GM, Ford, and so on.

If you were a better hunter, they wouldn’t pity you and provide you food to eat.

I don’t know if the linked paper is serious or shitpost and I’m so amused to think it may be both

That’s when I pop open the developer console and write some code to automate clicking them all out of spite

Can we please stop respecting these corporations’ desires to rebrand themselves? It’s Twitter, not X. It’s Facebook, not Meta. It’s Google, not Alphabet. They’re not people. They don’t deserve the respect of having their chosen names respected.
