So does this mean my open source project CI/CD pipeline is a step towards fully automated luxury gay space communism?
yaaay you’re helping
I sometimes wonder (with a deep, cold shudder) if someone somewhere could take this poster face value. Someone so far removed from my own edifice of knowledge, experience and opinions, that this can be read as anything other than ironic satire.
For example, some home-schooled children in Idaho or Arkansas, by parents made crazy by limbaugh and murdoch, then breitbart and infowars.
The kind of people so clueless that they could bite off the hand that feeds them, voting republican while crying out “keep your dirty government hands off my Medicare”, thinking that Medicare is a private enterprise… thingy… that’s like… their birthright… and it’s made by… angels, reading The Holy Bible or something… and that’s… a sustainable business model for all involved?

Yes, yes there are. I have met them.
A spectre is haunting your computer
not sure if this referring to anything specifically but M$ has lots of open source stuff and also invests in Linux - just saying.
It was their CEO’s stated opinion around the turn of the millennium: https://www.theregister.com/2000/07/31/ms_ballmer_linux_is_communism/
Forgot to check the community, didn’t realize they were just makin a meme
24 years ago is a long ass time ago haha
Lmao that is the dumbest take on linux ive seen and it made my day
That hasn’t always been true. This meme is older than Microsoft being open source friendly.
Right right, definitely memeable
Just wasn’t sure if it was a current criticism of current people and ideologies working at Microsoft
This is the kind of encouragement I need, comrade 🫡
This meme is so old that homie is rocking a G3 gum drop iMac.
The meme is from around 2000. Originally it was about downloading MP3s.

「Bolshevik chorus intensifies 」
When you program closed source, you invite spies and saboteurs to utilize your exploits.
When you enforce IP holdings, you steal from the public.
We are locked into surviving by capitalism the same way we are locked into commuting by car.
WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT OUR CHAINS!
Is your keyboard breeding Bolsheviks?
That is a very interesting question. Are you asking because I used the 「 … 」brackets?
When I’ve posted on Lemmy before, the pointy brackets < … > sometimes don’t show, nor will anything in between them, so I chose a different set not knowing what they are.
I think the Japanese use them when they’re quoting something. I could be wrong, though.
Programmers of the world, unite!
That guy is coding open source software on a 1998 bondi blue iMac.
Calling open source communism aside, capitalism and those who benefit the most from it probably absolutely HATE the largest open source projects because the more people use those, the less likely they are to use their telemetry based spy/bloatware.
Imagine trying to make a paid video/audio file player in today’s day and age and going up against the titan that is VLC. Or an audio editor/playback program in similar fashion to Audacity. Two of the biggest open source programs that I imagine just about anyone who has used a computer has probably heard of and/or used at some point.
Well, Reaper is more popular with musicians than Audacity, and it follows the Winrar business model
Didn’t know that. Fair enough for them.
Ardour.
It’s paid unless you know how to compile it.
Easy enough to compile…
I’d argue that Audacity (audio recording/editing/processing suite) is a little different niche than Reaper (full-fledged DAW). If your use case is “I’m doing a podcast and I need to do an audio recording from multiple mics and mix them down”, Audacity is good enough that there’s no point in paying extra for a DAW. If you’re a musician and you need to mess nondestructively with recordings and MIDI and filters, then you know you need to go bigger.
Oh gee whiz, I’m glad I like communism then 😅
Might be red and blue but that fruit Mac is probably rockin’ Yellow Dog.
Microsoft advertising open source? Maybe open source isn’t that good after all?
