      whenever someone uses a nebulous they, is worth asking: who is “they”?

        Xucking anyone. Doesn’t really matter. People don’t shut the fuck up about it and I’ve never heard anyone say what I did that math on and observed myself occurring relentlessly. I don’t give a shit about what you think it is and I ain’t here to lecture anyone or argue. It is what it is.

      If you think FOSS can solve capitalism’s issues, you either don’t know what FOSS is or you don’t know what capitalism’s problems are.

        FOSS can certainly be used to create that which can fix capitalist issues. I’m just done talking to you about it. You’re adamant against shit and I’m not interested in a fight.

          Cute little moving of the goalposts, there. Im not sure what you think I’m “adamant against”, but sure.

              Lol does such vacuous psudointelligent talk get you much success in your circles?

              I am adamant against capitalism, and I’m pro-FOSS. but I’m not delusional about the ability of FOSS to fix capitalist issues, I’m pro-FOSS because it’s a more-ethical way to make software.

              You read like a teenager who just learned about FOSS and think it’s going to change the world all by itself.

                I’ve been doing this a decade and a half now. I have the experience of idiots discussing this issue with zero awareness or even more likely, a tangentially opposite direction I expect is nothing less than a three letter spam lie.

                  By “this” you’ve been doing FOSS for a decade and a half? And yet you’re unable to provide even a hint of a shred of evidence that FOSS would meaningfully solve or even alleviate the issues with modern capitalism? Paint me skeptical.

                  I haven’t been working on FOSS projects the whole time, but I’ve been doing software development for over 15 years, not including my time in university, so I’m not unfamiliar with the subject.

                  The burden of proof is on you. You’re the one making the claim, and I’ve also mentioned the patently obvious fact that capitalists use FOSS products to “improve efficiency” (reduce headcount) just to get the ball rolling.

                    And yet you’re unable…

                    Unable =/= Unwilling to discuss with someone unworthy of speaking to even a minute. You have, thus far, made it past that but I’m not at a moment I’m able to sit down and more thoroughly explain anything let alone diverge into extensive details

                    …capitalists use FOSS products…

                    You’re not wrong. I’ll give you that. I will not argue with your stance against capitalism. In fact, I stand with you, entirely. FOSS does not hold a stance against capitalism. It can be used by capitalism. However, Anarchy cannot function without FOSS in any digital fashion. Neither can any Revolution or, by a much better success, a Guillotine.

                    At the end of the day, any respect given to any Closed Source software is only a literal Suicide. You don’t know shit for running Closed Source software. It may not kill you. It will probably just steal all your money. And the shit will pull it off by your knowledge and consent without accommodating your blatant lack of understanding. In the near future, it will arrange your inevitable death. Choice will be largely irrelevant to such events too boot.

                    At the end of the day. FOSS is the only solution because the opposite is that you consent to using software that no one but one mother fucker knows what does. End of Story. Inevitable EOTW.
