I was more concerned with government ties.

what privacy lol, it’s already gone

A new recall every two months is probably a world record.

It is not possible to have privacy online anymore. Full stop.

Absolutely not. I left those communities because of what was in them, I will not be seeking them out on purpose just to show a bunch of CSAM to people and probably incriminate myself.

Open source is the very worst thing currently going on because it is so incredibly exploitative, it’s far more exploitative than any actual company is of the workers who work at the company.

Even the people who are getting paid in open source are getting massively underpaid to do it compared to how much the people who are using their code are making, it’s nothing compared to the power that is accreted by the people who have co-opted that work thanks to the open source model. And then mark zuckerberg gets to define how the internet works despite having paid for almost none of the software that his company actually needed to make that work.

It’s like feudalism or serfdom, these people did the work and got nothing for it. It’s like you took the worst aspects of capitalism for workers and the worst aspects of socialism for workers and put them together, that’s open source. You get no power and you get no money.

It’s exploitative whether the people chose to be exploited, just because someone chooses to let you exploit them does not meant that you didn’t exploit them. And for the record that’s how most exploitation works; convincing people to do something that turns out to be very bad for them and very good for you, and that’s exactly what the open source movement has turned out to be.

I really don’t see the “we post stuff on github under a gpl2 or lgpl or apache or mit license”, all that is to me now is just exploitation. You can say that there’s solutions but until someone demonstrates that those solutions work, it’s the standard “real communism has never been tried” argument. AGPL is the only thing that I’ve seen so far that’s an attempt to fix these fundamentally unfair compensation practices.

nobody

I think you might be in for a rude awakening.

have never had issues

Sample size of 1 doesn’t really mean anything, sorry.

I’ve never been in a car crash, I guess that means it’s not a pervasive issue.

See the problem with this logic?

I have nothing to hide

Ok, pull down your pants and hand me your unlocked phone.

Did you even watch the video??

Right, I’m talking about like periodic or real-time scanning and alerting, which DISM/SFC on windows does.

Freedom of speech is the right to express opinions without government restraint, not without corporate restraint.

I think it’s absurd that most distros have no tools whatsoever for doing regular checksums of their own files. Windows certainly got that part right IMO.

someone is not a fan of LTT

prop 65 warnings are indeed useless

It IS all over the place. Did you not watch the video?

What smartphones existed in the 20th century?
