This is the kind of encouragement I need, comrade 🫡

So does this mean my open source project CI/CD pipeline is a step towards fully automated luxury gay space communism?

「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!

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.

I sometimes wonder (with a deep, cold shudder) if someone somewhere could take this poster at 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?

not sure if this referring to anything specifically but M$ has lots of open source stuff and also invests in Linux - just saying.

Microsoft has tons of open source stuff and tons of support programs for open source projects.

There are plenty of reasons to criticize Microsoft, but FOSS isn't one of them.

actually, communists program free/libre and reject open source as corporate 🤓

This meme is so old that homie is rocking a G3 gum drop iMac.

Oh gee whiz, I'm glad I like communism then 😅

That guy is coding open source software on a 1998 bondi blue iMac.

Might be red and blue but that fruit Mac is probably rockin’ Yellow Dog.

A spectre is haunting your computer

Microsoft advertising open source? Maybe open source isn't that good after all?

that guy on the back sure does look like microsoft

Programmers of the world, unite!

Remember: loose lips sink ships.

If it's Microsoft telling us that then why does the computer look like an iMac?
