I never go to whole foods. I wish I did, just so I can start wearing a BLM mask going there. But don't wanna give them any of my money for protesting.
Idk about OP, but from my experience, you can speak German perfectly correctly, but have an accent, and that will make your job search many times harder, because they know you're not "German". I highly doubt this is about skill.
Americans do a lot of stupid things, but they are most likely to be self critical in this space. I think this meme should talk about Western Europe instead, because they have many problems, but they are so often never willing to accept criticism. They're quick to call the US racist, but in my experience, Europe has so much racism it's crazy it's viewed as this anti racist place.
I'm sure Godot will become a lot more popular. There are exceptions to the rule. But in general, FOSS isn't winning the software field. But I agree with you and sympathize.
If AWS was open source, you wouldn't be protected from a similar incident. You're primarily using them for servers and infrastructure.
Idc about open source purism personally. I'm okay with open source projects making it difficult for corporate users to make profit and contribute nothing back.
It's open source enough for me. The code is open, contributions are accepted, forking is doable. That's what matters.
Wayland isn't to blame for duplicate effort. Instead of 4 different efforts doing the same thing, they can collaborate to build a common base. Heck, wlroots is exactly that.
There's a ton of duplicated work in Linux ecosystem. Just think about every new distro coming out doing the same things other distros did. Just think about all those package managers on different distros. They do almost the same thing. Do they need to have codebases that share nothing? No. But they don't care. They rather duplicate effort. They chose this.
The US is quite open about money's involvement in politics. Search "Citizens United" as an example.
Sadly it will never. The average consumer does not care to do their own research, and will always fall for options with a marketing budget, even when FOSS options are similar or better quality. Now consider that often times (not always), FOSS is not up to the same quality.
Disclaimer: I always use FOSS when I can, even when lower quality.
I agree it's the BSD license. That's what I mean. It's a license that places no restriction on corporate use without contribution.
Unfortunately not enough. It still allows corporate use with limited restrictions. Only derivative work that gets distributed must be open sourced, and even then, they can choose to provide source only to those requesting it in inconvenient ways (ex: come pick up the flash drive from our office).
For example, android does not require open sourcing, despite GPL'd Linux, but because it's not derivative work.
And yet it is still a prevalent idea in FOSS that open sourcing without restrictions on corporate use will karma back to you positively somehow.
Non-corporate FOSS should be way more popular.
