Their business model being bad is not my concern. They're not a broke kid whose bad decisions I'm exploiting.
Edit: OTOH reporting on this as if it's a grand surprise is a bit funny. Like come on, this was obvious from the start. I just didn't care, it didn't feel like a fight worth fighting. And I care about BSD/MIT license devs being exploited about as much as MS' business model potentially falling apart because I turn off telemetry: folks knew what they're going into, and did it anyway because "sempai corpo will notice us." Well, it did, congratulations.
As for me, I don't care. I ain't posting anything on anything lighter than AGPL, ever, but I'm a small bean and ultimately there's stuff I care about way more than software.
- dumbo-octopus 2y agoTheir business model is fine, and telemetry has nothing to do with it. The telemetry aspect of the article is a red herring the author introduced seemingly to elicit more popular support on their website and others like it. The core issue has nothing to to with telemetry and everything to do with licensing and intellectual property.
