"abolish ip law" so you just want microsoft to steal and rebrand linux and make an insane amount of money from it? because that's what you'll get
-
@lain @nosleep mmm, without ip law they can't force other people to dump the source they already have, and computering is too big for one company to do it all alone, so shared commons lives on naturally now
-
@nosleep that's what Sony et all do with FreeBSD, but FreeBSD people like it so idk
-
@lain @nosleep and like windows is a poop mountain now expressly because closed source. you want to bring in recruits who are familiar with your inner workings as much as possible rather than recruits you need to spend 4 years training to learn the os source. becomes an endless cycle of clueless kids writing abstractions over other peoples' inscrutable mud, and you get windows-requires-64-gigabytes-install-size-and-modifying-basic-ui-elements-is-a-week-long-endeavour
-
@lain @nosleep offload your bug-fixing to other people in the open repo
-
@lain @nosleep yeh, companies keep their veneering and edges closed but open everything else, makes competition possible, driving down costs for the customer. and the customer gets a better product than any one company could have built on its ownand well you still do "your own" bugfixing, mmm, but other people also using the source do their own and push it back periodically too, so group effort. not perfect (the many-eyes thing isn't what it gets portrayed as sure), but much better
-
@shmibs @nosleep all true, but in the end, doesn't impact customers very much.
zonk?
