Lordy you are nerds.
The point is that free and open also equals free to be a predator. The joke is that people always think free and open just means what is good for them but truly free is often free for a predator to eat it all and make it closed.
While you guys lecture and circle jerk about the joke you miss the real point.
Like fuck dudes are you this dense? Your comments are convincing me LLMs are smarter than people.
- Dylan16807 3y ago> truly free is often free for a predator to eat it all and make it closed That doesn't apply when the word "open" is helping clarify. A predator making open things closed isn't people asking for the wrong thing and getting egg on their face, it's people not getting what they asked for at all through no fault of their own. Especially because this same kind of crawling works on a non-open internet. > circle jerk Do you say that any time someone disagrees with you, or is there something here in specific that you're reacting to?
- tsunamifury 3y agoNo just to the misunderstanding of what open is. So many people thing free and open also has rules that protect them. It does not.
- Dylan16807 3y agoAn open thing can have protections against becoming non-open, and still be open. But protections or not, someone saying "not like that" about the open web only properly applies when people or companies do something as part of their open web actions. If they do other bad things then "not like that" doesn't apply there. Publishing a virus to the Web would be "not like that". Not publishing at all is in a different category.
