I find this fascinating as my impression is usually the exact opposite (all I see is lots of open source fetishism and anti-VC, anti-big tech, anti-AI, anti-risk, anti-new stuff, anti-everything sentiment).
However it could be certain headlines attract a certain type of person, allowing for an entirely different subjective experience of what "people on hacker news" are like.
- immibis 1y agoPlease note there are two main branches of open source: there is permissive, which is a donation to venture capitalists, and there is copyleft, which is prohibited from use by venture capitalists unless they play nice. This forum champions the former and is generally opposed to the latter, and the more copyleft it is, the more this forum is against it (LGPL vs GPL vs AGPL vs SSPL).
