  • This is some shit a 14 year old would think is deep lmao

    Life is far more complex than a simple good/bad dichotomy. If one is bad and another is much worse; they are absolutely not the same and you actually help the worse one by essentially sane washing the depraved lengths they willingly and want to reach.

    With L/R, one has greedy and corrupt outliers and compromised leadership while the other is a majority of grifting hateful racists and sexual abusers who are also greedy as fuck.

    You do bad people a service when you smooth out the good/bad gradient into a solely boolean concept. All nuance is lost, and that only helps those in bad faith.


  • What an emotionally immature meme, life isn’t a competition. It can be hard for people even when some have benefits and circumstances others don’t. You don’t know every detail and all of the context to everyone and trying to compete in the struggle Olympics doesn’t make you any more special than anyone else. You have no right to more sympathy just because you may have things harder:

    Life sucks for us all in one way or another. How about learning some empathy instead of trying to turn your struggles into a badge to flex on others with.

    Oh, well, if it’s not proprietary anymore, no problem!!! Did you not read the context regarding the impact to other existing and in-progress projects?

    Also I like how you threw out POSIX as if that somehow makes this concept not only feasible but also fits into profit margins to be able to secure the additional funding. Who will sign up to contribute time and resources and stick to those same standard long term? EA? Ubisoft? I didn’t say it couldn’t be done I said it’s not something corporate would ever go for.

    Go ahead and tell those big corpos to stop being anti social, I’m sure that’ll secure the funding and commitments necessary industry-wide


  • Yeah that would be awesome but it’s easier said than done (to no surprise, I’m sure).

    One of the big issues I see from a developer standpoint is the potential for leaking proprietary code that they may not want to publicize like things related to authorization, server side anti cheat implementations, etc.

    Why would they care? The product is done right? Well every project is not written from scratch and so to publish this stuff it could incur risk to the org’s other current/future projects in addition to helping outside sources get a leg up on said other current/future projects.

    This could be dealt with potentially as well but that means extra dev resources and time and potentially inter-org collaboration to develop common OS standards but again that’s work that does not generate $$$

    I’m not defending these assholes mind you, I just understand the blockers in the way. The greedy fucks could indeed do this but they never will because of said $$$
