    facepalm

    It’s the ONLY method to deal with Closed Source. It can be used to end capitalism. It can be used to end money entirely.

    Do it ALL FOSS now, or else…EOTW. End of story. Literally.

      Making it FOSS wouldn’t solve the problem, because FOSS tools can still be used by capitalists to displace workers and erode worker bargaining power.

      This is true of pretty much EVERY tool, but never has a tool had the potential to negatively impact so many in such a diversity of roles.

      So again, the problem isn’t closed source, the problem is capitalism. If you fixed the problems of capitalism, then all software tools would naturally be FOSS, but that’s a product of fixing the problems, not the mechanism to fix the problems.

                Xucking anyone. Doesn’t really matter. People don’t shut the fuck up about it and I’ve never heard anyone say what I did that math on and observed myself occurring relentlessly. I don’t give a shit about what you think it is and I ain’t here to lecture anyone or argue. It is what it is.

              If you think FOSS can solve capitalism’s issues, you either don’t know what FOSS is or you don’t know what capitalism’s problems are.

                FOSS can certainly be used to create that which can fix capitalist issues. I’m just done talking to you about it. You’re adamant against shit and I’m not interested in a fight.

                    I don’t bother to determine the target of such. Merely that it exists.
