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 meant 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.
Right, I’m talking about like periodic or real-time scanning and alerting, which DISM/SFC on windows does.
I think it’s absurd that most distros have no tools whatsoever for doing regular checksums of their own files. Windows certainly got that part right IMO.
Windows has implemented quite a few tricks to make this very difficult without setting off antivirus engines
That’s funny because we have been shipping a commercial Windows app since XP that is keylogger-based using SetWindowsHookEx, and it has only tripped users’ antivirus maybe 1 or 2 times in 20 years.
I wonder if there’s a desktop distro out there that enforces sandboxed applications by default.
EasyOS is the first distro I’ve seen that at least runs every app as its own user by default, similar to Android.
Which is hilarious because desktop apps have always had the capability to spy on all other apps and steal all your data.
I used to love it until I started having so many problems, and with zero support I had to give up.
Unusably buggy for me… always has been.
Many teknoparrot games will not run on linux under wine, and a VM without a passthrough GPU cannot do any hardware accelerated rendering on Windows, so without a second GPU or dual-booting into Windows I cannot play them. Recent adobe suite apps also won’t work on wine, and many functions use the GPU now like in Photoshop. There’s so many things that still don’t work in wine or a non-accelerated VM it’s not even funny.
Not all programs can be run easily in a VM or wine/etc., several apps/games I use will not run without a bare-metal windows OS or at the very least a dual-GPU system with a passthrough VM.

even if they are not as good
Often for professional users, that makes it a non-starter already. Nobody who is making good money from Photoshop has ever said “I just use gimp instead, it works for me”.
I have, and so have many others, which is why we disagree.
