I know that guy is a crazy tankie, I’ve see him around. What he brought up is a bunch of shit intended to waste time. He doesnt care about any of those things so trying to argue is a waste of time and most of its untrue or misleading.

Which ones dont monetize their OS? Its not that they are uniquely important. Its that its perfectly fine to monetize their own os. They are selling a service that is additional support for users that want it. Pretty simple stuff, you see users asking for this stuff all the time.
Why shouldn’t they be able to offer additional paid support for their own distro? Why does it matter
Poof them out of existence, and what, outside of their own direct projects, breaks?
How is this relevant at all?
Hardware support and working with manufacturers to bring linux support, vendor support bringing mainstream apps to linux, advertising linux laptops and getting it in front of people all around the world, Wayland, gnome, accessibility, a ton shit way to much to list. Just because the improvements are done for Ubuntu doesnt mean they arent useful on other distros. Its free software after all the rising tide lifts all boats. Canonical arent a huge mega corp raking in cash. They cant compare to giants like redhat.
Fuck off Tankie, I will not fall for your concern trolling bait today.
You do not seriously think all canonical has done is snaps and Gnome.
Is building one of the most popular linux desktop environments and distros not enough to sell a paid support package to the users who want it? I dont think thats unfair.
31·3 days agobefore you know it you’ll have to raise these little computers as your children and be charged with murder when they die
If you’re a pro life person then you’d probably consider this a life and consider these experiments murder. If you arent then I dont think you would see this as a conscious human brain. Following the abortion debate doesnt mean we have to take the conservative side it means you probably draw the line here in the same place you draw the line in the abortion debate.
What do you think canonical should charge for? They do put a ton of work into the linux eco system
This paper was published a few years ago. I remember reading through it because it sounded very scary. In its current state I dont think it crosses any ethical bounds as its less than 30days old with no lived experience or consciousness. The ethical line should probably follow whatever the abortion debate defines consciousness as. Which I think is 30 weeks
It did spark a few ethics papers on the topic which turned out to be a horrible dry boring reads with seemingly no consensus.
The drama was so minor 99.99% no longer care
I enjoy this guys videos but he says “I wrote task manager” way to much. We get it bro you wrote task manager save some pussy for the rest of us.
TVs are all 4k though. 1080p looks like shit on 4k screen.
This is so sick. I wish the console was more powerful and didnt rely on fsr for 4k preformance. I’d love to get my hands on that vr headset.
This is kind of an info dump and I havent fully gone through to verify everything but this is a guide from a trusted ytber explaining step by step how he setup and managed his self hosting environment.
For a more bite sized entry into self hosting just join the community (like you are now) and learn about the different services people are hosting and when one sounds good then look into how to set it up and ask questions along the way.
Yeah china made the selfish decision to completely ignore the climate change agreements and continue to scale fossil fuel infrastructure.
I know this is pedantic but Linux does give users the free to do this. They just need to add a patch to their desktop and patch their app to make it so.
Unless I’m missing some recent news that sounds like a really misleading interpretation of what happened. I thought he tweeted that he thought republicans were better than dems on big tech legislation.
That was an insanely stupid statement but its far from supporting trump and all his policy.
Because ownership is not distributed amongst the workers.
I may be wrong but i thought this guy was not at all a respected investor and only made 1 good trade. So his opinion is kinda worthless.
I dont think Foss is Socialist. Foss can be but generally isnt. 11
Majority of linux users are on a monetized OS. Consultancy, extended service, feature implementation, fast support, donations, merch are all common monetisation methods across major linux distros and there is nothing wrong with any of them.
There are very few distros funded solely by the maintainers they are usually hobby projects.
