Kinda funny how when mega corps can benefit from the millions upon millions of developer hours that they’re not paying for they’re all for open source. But when the mega corps have to ante up (with massive hardware purchases out of reach of any of said developers) they’re suddenly less excited about sharing their work.
I’m’a be honest with you, I hate this kind of ‘hmm, curious’ take. It sounds like Fry saying the worst part about slavery is how they make you work but don’t pay you. Just… yes… but you don’t need to phrase it like a gotcha. They’re not gonna give a shit.

I’ve been begging my company to commit to 1% of our revenue toward open source software we use.
It would be life changing for many of these devs.
You are describing parasitic behavior
A cancer does this also.
Billionaires are a cancer on the body politic.

For me it’s just a way to lighten the blow from the hypocrisy. If you’re not laughing, you’re crying.
