it makes it a funny thing, i think literally all commentary media is grifting bullshit, regardless of politics

but i also don't care enough to do my own research on for example who came up with the term open source first, the subject of the vid, but watching people fight about it is entertaining to me

i have and will always be, rooting for the asteroid or the robots or whatever current thing is, I'm a extinction maximalist basically because humanity doesn't live up to my projected standards on it.

Maggots on a mudball that exist for a few hundred thousand years then fizzle out and the universe never notices.

That's what I reckon.

probably a good thing

getting fired from fox news was the best thing that ever happened to tucker

he's definitely still tucker, but he's able to do some actual journalism now instead of being a cog in the narrative machine

Being called a cunt is also a badge of honor.

If it was intended as an insult you needa try harder.

Opensource was a paradigm before it was a coined phrase.
That paradigm led to the quick implimentation of networking protocols and the various file systems some of which are still in use today.
NFS for example is still used in many consumer file servers. Original opensource.
Tcp/ip stack.
Many Web protocols etc.

Shared knowledge accelerated development.
Closed and proprietary softwares and protocols stagnated it. But it sure made those companies a shit ton of cash.

It is very difficult to explain to someone who does not care to do their own research. It is nuanced. Using opensource to make money is possible. You just cant claim the bits you used as your own. Your addon is open to whatever lisence you release it under.

You are correct though, there are waaaay too many versions of various gpl/copyleft. It is bullshit.

Thanks for the compliment guys. Love you.
