The Child Labor of Early Capitalism Is Making a Big Comeback in the US

  • As someone once said. Time is a flat circle

    • For the fourth day in a row, Earth has broken or equalled its hottest average temperature record

  • Amazing work! I would also like to note that the biggest contributors to the problem are corporations. Individuals couldn't out pollute corporations if they tried.

    • Red Hat Reponds To The RHEL Source Code Drama

  • Open source plus profit motive equals spicy. This isn't a new problem. You can look at the history of how Windows was trying to fight Linux. It wouldn't surprise me if Microsoft started trying to take over Linux again in 10 to 15 years.

    • Red Hat, you're harming the entire Linux ecosystem.

  • I've been around the block a little bit. I remember when Microsoft and Oracle were doing things that were problematic for open source software.

    Red Hat it's just following in their footsteps.

    Open source and Linux has survived worse than this. And it will survive this too. Does this suck? Yeah for sure. But also it's predictable.

    Anytime there's a profit motive you see people take advantage of open source software. This will happen again.

    Every time it happens, I think the community gains more than it loses. I think it's a healthy sign that so many people are pissed at what Red Hat has done. If they keep going down this path, their competitors are going to start licking their lips. And I'm sure their paying customers are not happy about losing all the free testing.

    • Jeff Geerling stops development for Redhat

  • If it was just that they were repackaging source code and putting it behind a paywall, then there would be no problem at all.

    The problem is, as I understand it, that they are selling modified GPL code without giving people access to it. That's against the GPL license. Out of all people, Red Hat should be aware of what the GPL states.

    So I think it's pretty fair to accused Red Hat of being intentionally evil here. If it was just a mistake, then I'd say it's a very very dumb mistake. Either way, if these are the kind of people who run Red Hat now, things don't look good.

  • It's a fun game. I hope the improvements get back ported to the spring engine.

  • Isn't it possible for one person to create multiple LLCs? Hence being able to vote multiple times?

  • While I did enjoy this meme, that's not going to solve the problem. They would be replaced pretty quickly with people who are equally as dubious. That's just the system we live in.

    • Why does it feel like we're at a point where every social media + other digital media are making shitty decisions and falling apart?
