- royjacobs 3y agoWould you rather he posted it to an open-source platform where everyone already agrees with him?

- Darmody 3y agoWould you rather post it on a social network that nobody uses in a video format that lacks quality like Stallman does? Anyway, maybe I'm getting this wrong but I don't think he's saying that everything has to be 100% open source. He's talking about the tools we need to build everything, that backbone of the software.
- babyeater9000 3y agoI think that Carmack is really savvy. He is being effective in his messaging by using a popular platform. I almost got offended because he didn't say free software but he straight up listed the four freedoms. And Doom got open sourced so he lives it. I think Carmack is on the side of right; there are no true Scotsmen.
- SkyMarshal 3y agoTwitter open sources some things [1], but they're not really doing anything groundbreaking or making any real advances in software. Even if they were to open source 100% of their tech, it wouldn't move the needle much. [1]:https://github.com/twitter https://github.com/twitter
- renegade-otter 3y agoWhy, is HN open-sourced? Is Reddit? I don't get this argument. The whole point is that we don't have to spin up our own open-sourced blog and host it ourselves just to post an opinion on the Internet anymore.
