    What the fuck are you on about? I don’t follow Rossman, I don’t even like him. I do like his product though. Dude has some weird ass libertarian leanings that are “eyebrow raising”, if I’m being generous.

    The fucking OSI does not get to define open source however it wants. Open source means the the source is open to the public. FULL FUCKING STOP. The OSI co-opted the term open source, and people like you fell in line. What is it with people like you and purity testing software? That’s fucking weird.

    I’m fucking sick of turbonerds with toxic opinions and zero coding skills telling developers what they need to do with their own code. The fact that they can’t code is more or less irrelevant, but it highlights how much more bullshit their stance is. If you want to control a license then write some fucking code and you can license it however the hell you like.

    We do agree in one key area though, “influencer” is a cult, or something very close to it. This whole parasocial relationship bullshit is actively harming society at large. You can thank YouTube for fucking these things up btw. Other services have followed, but it’s YouTube’s (Google’s) insatiable lust for power and monopoly that have crippled society and possibly irreversibly damaged it.



  • I have read the license. I read it when it first came out. Open source is open source. You don’t get to move the goal posts like the OSI has. You wanted the source to be available so that you could have a look at it and make sure nothing nefarious was going on or at least be able to tell what it does. You can, therefore be happy, and be quiet.

    All of the stuff that I develop is the type of open source that you like, that said, you don’t need to try to browbeat developers into licensing terms that they don’t like. If they want to keep their source proprietary then that is fine as long as they make it available for others to have a look at.

    Stop purity testing this crap. You do the entire movement a disservice by being a pedantic butthole. Furthermore you make people like me not want to make the source available to people like you. You damage the entire image, and you don’t even realize it.

    The license isn’t the problem. You are.








  • A very intelligent person can have some very stupid ideas. The fact that they are intelligent does not make their ideas intelligent as well. Referring to an idea as stupid is not the same as referring to the progenitor as stupid.

    You do not understand how logical fallacies work. This is demonstrated by your responses.

    Furthermore, saying the equivalent of x person is smart therefore they are right and as a result I am right because I invoked person x is an appeal to authority.

    Ding ding, ok school is in session:

    Ad hominem attack defined

    An ad hominem attack is when someone tries to win an argument by attacking the other person’s character instead of addressing the actual issue or argument. It’s like saying, “You’re wrong because you’re a bad person,” instead of explaining why their idea might be incorrect.

    Example

    If you call an idea “stupid” but focus on explaining why the idea itself is flawed, it’s not an ad hominem attack. For example:

    Not an ad hominem attack: “The plan to build a bridge out of paper is stupid because paper isn’t strong enough to support any weight.”

    In this case, you’re calling the idea “stupid” but you’re explaining why it’s a bad idea based on its merits.

    Ad hominem attack: “You think we should build a bridge out of paper? You must be an idiot.”

    Here, you’re attacking the person rather than addressing the reasoning behind their idea.

    This endeth the lesson.
