    Took you off the blocklist 'cause you’re a great source of entertainment. Really elevates my day after my morning coffee.

    I lurk a lot, and I tend to remember names in active communities after a few days. There’s some amazing people in our communities, who contribute in good faith and with rational citations.

    And then there’s you. Refusing to perform a simple trip to Wikipedia to find the proper evidence in writing that validated the “Typical Linux success story” to begin with.

    Let me save you the trip by the way: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel (Wikipedia article)

    https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/LICENSES/preferred/GPL-2.0 (Direct link to the GPL 2.0 license, since you likely don’t have the initiative to scroll 10% down the page)

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus’s_law (Linus’s law Wikipedia article, take the time to read and download The Cathedral and The Bazaar so you can read arguments for the current model that aren’t fresh from your ass)

    Oh and Caesar from Fallout: New Vegas called, he wants his misrepresentation of dialectics and philosophy back, you ignoramus prick.

      It’s very telling to even expect that someone here doesn’t know what GPL is.

      It’s probable that I’ve been a Linux user and interested in it for longer than you, and I’ve read Raymond’s thing at least 12 years ago. I’ve also read some counterarguments.

      BTW, at this current point in time I’m again closer to the “bazaar” than to the “cathedral” side of the argument. And Linux isn’t.

      In general, having a text in support of something is not a final argument. Honestly it’s weird to encounter it being used as such from someone who’s likely literate more than in first generation.

      I’m fine with arguments fresh from my ass if those are more than you can present. And that’s how arguments among intelligent people work, FYI.

      Oh and Caesar from Fallout: New Vegas called, he wants his misrepresentation of dialectics and philosophy back, you ignoramus prick.

      It’s unfortunate that your intelligence doesn’t allow you to see how clumsy this is, to call someone names instead of, again, providing arguments.

          That’s why it’s so entertaining to read and reply to comments like those lol. Could be genuine confusion, could be fake and bot generated, or could be takes that make you think they’re smoking that shit that made Stevie wonder.

          Then you see the reply, and that’s when you know for sure! XD

            I am genuinely unsure if you’re so out of touch that you think the average lemmy user doesn’t deserve to have opinions that deviate from your own (otherwise they’re uneducated, uncultured swine to you, apparently), or you’re so high on your ego, a hit stronger than a laced joint, that your only way to respond is to elevate your podium and attempt to lower your opposition’s.

            Hello from the second day by the way. Coffee was delicious.

              Neither, I just wanted you to substantiate your opinions instead of making up sophisticated insults, and since you didn’t, did the same. I don’t care if a specific opinion deviates from mine, is similar to mine, is completely opposite or orthogonal or however one could describe full disconnect between our realities, I engage in arguments to get some valuable matter of discussion.

              It’s also kinda hard to be friendly when someone isn’t even trying.

              More of a tea person, honestly, don’t like how coffee affects my blood pressure and ability to concentrate. But good for you.
