Open source is the very worst thing currently going on because it is so incredibly exploitative, it's far more exploitative than any actual company is of the workers who work at the company.

Even the people who are getting paid in open source are getting massively underpaid to do it compared to how much the people who are using their code are making, it's nothing compared to the power that is accreted by the people who have co-opted that work thanks to the open source model. And then mark zuckerberg gets to define how the internet works despite having paid for almost none of the software that his company actually needed to make that work.

It's like feudalism or serfdom, these people did the work and got nothing for it. It's like you took the worst aspects of capitalism for workers and the worst aspects of socialism for workers and put them together, that's open source. You get no power and you get no money.

It's exploitative whether the people chose to be exploited, just because someone chooses to let you exploit them does not mean that you didn't exploit them. And for the record that's how most exploitation works; convincing people to do something that turns out to be very bad for them and very good for you, and that's exactly what the open source movement has turned out to be.

I really don't see the "we post stuff on github under a gpl2 or lgpl or apache or mit license", all that is to me now is just exploitation. You can say that there's solutions but until someone demonstrates that those solutions work, it's the standard "real communism has never been tried" argument. AGPL is the only thing that I've seen so far that's an attempt to fix these fundamentally unfair compensation practices.

It works similarly to tor so yes you can host stuff on it, but also just like tor, you have to trust that the nodes that get used are not all compromised.

I would still consider that a software bug on Linux's part if it allows a USB device to bring the whole system down.

This... every time I have created a github issue, I was personally attacked by Kovid and the issue was closed immediately after their response.

He is a massive dickhole that is abusive to every single user he interacts with online.

dgVoodoo2 has worked fine for me for years for DX7 and earlier on wine. lutris already supports it natively.

Or if a VM is needed, qemu+softgpu has been much faster for me than pcem/86box.

Why do so many programmers seem to be learning Japanese? I have been noticing this trend for literally decades at this point.

What is the usecase for something like this?

It uses DRM/KMS to enable OpenGL (and probably Vulkan too) on the console without needing a display server like Xorg or Wayland. Or if that's too blasphemous for you, there is a libcaca driver.

RetroArch works just fine from the command-line.

If it's public, does that mean you can request other people's data as well?
