  • The other interesting tidbit from this:

    Things get dire when US carmakers enter the fray. All but one of the bottom ten brands in the list are American. The best of the worst was Chevrolet at a score of 40. But Tesla makes that failing grade seem respectable with its absolute rock bottom rating of 31, trailing Jeep by just one point.

    That is because everything American has been shit since forever with all the lack rules and regulations, but in the last decade, things really have gone off a cliff




  • I’m going to setup my own open source chat server soon and just give the few people that need to talk to me a copy of the open source client. That you can use to talk to me, the rest will be gone

    I’m sooooo fucking tired of every company and government wanting to inspect my asshole just so they know that toilet paper to advertise to me or to be sure that I’m “not a terrorist or a pedophile because the government totally is doing this to protect the children, absolutely!!!”

    Fuck your lies

    Fuck your marketing

    And apologies for my French, I’m just reeeeeeaaaally done with this nonsense







  • “The position of the FFmpeg X account is that somehow disclosing vulnerabilities is a bad thing. Google provides more assistance to open source software projects than almost any other organization, and these debates are more likely to drive away potential sponsors than to attract them.”

    Yeah slave, stop complaining get your ass back to work because I’m about to dump more obligatory work on your lap that you will fix for no pay, I don’t care you have a family to feed!

    Your complaining about not having any sponsor for the free work that we sell for millions of dollars may cause that you don’t get any sponsors!

    The entitlement and mental gymnastics here at display is insane

    Google has made billions off of open source software they got and used for free. Sure, they gave back a few fractions of a penny for each million they made with it, they gave back with adding some softwares here and there when it strategically suited them, but the simple fact is that without open source software, Google wouldn’t exist today, definitely not the way they do now.

    Hell, the internet wouldn’t exist as it does today, it would be a tiny fraction of what it is today without open source software. Open source software is amazing yet most people in the world don’t even know that it exists, that it’s a concept, and that people are doing this

    Yet there are countless companies profiting majorly from the work of others without giving back a dime. There are multinationals that profit in the billions from open source software without giving back properly or at all.

    We need an updated GPL amendment or something that requires companies to start giving back productively in some form or another once they start majorly profiting from the work of open source projects.


  • OpenSSL heart bleed, for sure

    Great example of corporations just taking from open source and not giving back a dime because fuck you, give us your work!

    I’d love to see a GPL version where if you’re a company, and you make more than x amount of profit with open source projects, that you gotta fund it with y amount, depending on your profit or something

    ALL big tech companies have gotten ginormous thanks to open source software, and though some have given back something, and some have done some funding, it’s always been such few pennies on so many dollars that it might as well have been slavery. Add to that that many times what was given back was only given back because it was a good thing, strategically, for them.

    Tech companies are abusive as fuck which made them so insanely big, powerful and rich and this nonsense has to stop

    Open source is awesome and ALL software should be open source as far as I’m concerned, but the abuse from tech corporations has to stop
