Silver lining is that's a great opportunity for development. Even more so, we've seen how things play out when such platforms are left unchecked, so we can try to avoid the downfalls of big tech.

As opposed to Linux, which poses a penguin risk.

Puns aside, I completely agree with you, but that one might be either the best or the worst thing to happen to OSS. Best case scenario the govt. ensures critical technology is funded and maintained, is invested in and essentially brings a sustainable model for maintainers. Worst case, open source is regulated out of existence as we know it. There was a piece of EU legislation that thankfully didn't pass, which would've resulted in just that. Here's a reference, sorry I don't have the time right now for a better one.

Jeez contributors, don't you sleep at all?

Syria, one of the largest contributors, is not exactly stable yet. Israel is making sure of that with their continued warmongering

They do use the same pass though, that's why it's so strange to me. Thanks for the help, this at least gives me a clue.

You don't win by them just losing some money. Redistribution is the name of the game. Even if Tesla hits 0/share, you aren't getting any more wealth just by virtue of that happening.

Save the puppies act! If we don't know what exactly you say while pounding your wife, how could we possibly hope to save your dear pup, which I promise you did not consent to a threesome?!

And eeevery body loves puppies, no one will object to that. In case you do, you'd be suspected in zoophilia by the way, so don't do it!

The sarcasm here would be lost on so many people...

Reading this made me even happier I don't have to live there

That's how subscription services get you. Why buy DVDs when you can stream all day long on Netflix? Suddenly, DVDs are no longer for sale and streaming services take down content for one reason or another. Then you have no other legal alternative but to pay whatever they ask, be shown whatever they want and continue to own none of it.

Bo Burnham's How the works works seems to be an appropriate anthem right now
