I was just thinking about why many things on Linux are better. Like the install process on Linux is years ahead of windows.
Then it occurred to me that windows only improves things that can make them money. If you need to install windows, then you can deal with the crappy installer.
Linux devs improve the parts they think need to be better. The decisions are not guided by money and can be made without bias.
Now that you've got the idea apply it to everything in capitalist society. Especially if something is owned by shareholders.
This realization somehow amazes and depresses me at the same time
Most people don’t install windows. It comes pre installed on something they bought. Microsoft probably puts more time into automating the process.
Also, last time I installed windows it was a breeze. I haven’t installed Linux in at least a decade, so I can’t speak for that.
Try installing debian some time, the installer makes windows' installer feel like its for a piece of software you got of a sketchy site that wants to install 16 other things not even related to it
Anyone know how I can program Anarchism?
Allow all code merges automatically
Anarchy is not absence of rules, it's absence of hierarchy. So you could still collectively agree to certain rules for merges.
Open a GitHub repo with a hello world script and accept each and every commit
The same way, generally. Work on decentralized, open source software. It's modern Mutual Aid.
work on decentralized technology like lemmy
dd if=/dev/random of=anarchism bs=1024 count=1024;chmod 755 anarchism;./anarchism
Microsoft loves open source nowadays.
People do a huge amount of their work for free.
They're also heavily invested in Linux for the cloud. So any work done there helps them.
With Microsoft, any love shown could well be the Embrace part of the strategy that will lead to Extend and then Extinguish just as soon as they can figure those parts out. They might already have a plan.
The fact they've been able to turn things to their advantage so far does not mean they don't have such a plan. Or won't ever have one.
Ah, the late 1900s when you could still pretend that Apple was the choice of the counterculture for no credible reason except for Apple marketing. Slacktivism, my dude. Worthless.
This meme is truly ancient. I bet those little iMacs go for a pretty penny on eBay now after everyone tossed them in the garbage circa 2003.
Holy shit, this is an old old meme. This image has got to be at least 25 years old
When the program is free, it's socialism. The more free the program is, the more socialism it is. When the source is free, it's communism.
Talk shit on FOSS, by comparing it to communism like it’s a bad thing, on Lemmy.
Now there’s a message this place will love, lol.
it seems like a pro-communist programming message to me. the red dude looks super cool and supportive.
Yeah, he’s probably giving mad tips to the dev and he looks happy, so we know the red dude is not just a dickhead.
Well at least they are slighty more open to open source software since it make them money.
