i’d argue its better for software to max foss license like AGPL, not bsd that can be taken out by companies

Yeah I’m not for UBI that much, and don’t see anyone working towards global VAT. I was comparing that worry about AI that is gonna destroy humanity is not possible, it’s just scifi.

It replaced content writers, replacing digital artists, replacing programmers. In a sense they fire unexeprieced ones because ai speeds up those with more experience.

Fair point, but AI is part of it, I mean it exists in capitalist system. This AI Singularity apocalypse is like not gonna happen in 99%, AI within capitalism will affect us badly.

just wait until you hear about humans.txt, it really exitst here

Ah, AI doesn’t pose as danger in that way. It’s danger is in replacing jobs, people getting fired bc of ai, etc.

Sorry, I’m a bit nervous. So my comments might be a bit cranky.

Point is it’s not bad to get info even from 10mo ago, we have usefult text from 70s, 80s etc.

Why I made this post is because of a rule here of no memese. The point was to start a discussion about realtionship big tech have with FOSS community. Hence the meme in the first comment. Rules don’t approve memese so I posted some video about FOSS funding to post a meme as a first comment.

And you hearing old events is bad how exactly ?

from where ? I made it lol, idk if it was shared somewhere else before

edit: thought you were referencing the meme, not the video, sry anyway, why does it matter that 10months old ?

edit2: foss funding is broken still

Just to clarify, this post is not meant to glorify startups! Startups also have CEO and it’s same as first line in the meme.

This post is meant to start a discussion and to highlight the effects big tech having on FOSS.

It’s aginst big tech not aginst FOSS!

Ah crap, didn’t see that. Anyways don’t see why not, but whatever. Mods can delete it. This was to start a discussion about big tech and foss realtionship.

How is it glorifying anything of this ?

It’s not saying FOSS is a confused mess, but that big tech exploits foss! And yes FOSS can and is making progress without big thech. But big tech is big investor in foss which means it’s controlling it and striving to controll it, for example threads and mastodon.

No company will invest money for anything that is not helping their cause. FOSS isn’t untouchable to be exempted from critique.

effects on big tech exploiting foss, for example threads and fediverse

Now, fedi then develops in autonomus manner, as much as possible. There are problems with centralization on fedi even now without meta.

Letting them in will only help meta EEE(embrace, extened, extinguish) it.

I think we are on same page, I am aginst federating with threads

Same story as XMPP

This is not cooperation, this is take over by meta. So far I see most fedi users are aganist federation with meta, I’m glad that’s the case.

With xmpp you could chat with people on messenger just by having xmpp account somewhere else. Now you cannot. And no email is not working just fine, self hosting email is hard now beacuse you are getting blocked if you are using big tech servers.

XMPP has it’s own problems, not really pleasant user experience etc. But yes, facebook first embraced it the cut you off anyone you had on messenger.

If this happens, meta will takeover fedi.
