What an ironic comment on an article whose subject is a massive, free, open-source piece of "content."
- eddieh 7y agoYou know it's "free as in freedom, not beer," right?
- rcoveson 7y agoGo is both free as in freedom _and_ free as in beer. Binaries and source are available for use or modification to anybody, free of charge. No ads either.
- LanceH 7y agoGo is free as in freedom and paid for by someone else.
- eddieh 7y agoSpecifically paid for by Google which, as far as I'm concerned, is the definition of ad supported.
- rcoveson 7y agoClever, but beside the point. "Content isn't free" is still not a reason to plead that others "consume the ads." Google doesn't offer Go on the _condition_ that you consume ads, nor does this podcast or interview offer itself to the Internet on the condition that you don't skip the first two minutes of it. If you're somebody who is opposed to the practice of advertising in general, by all means, skip it. Nobody should tell you not to.
