  • Exactly, permissive licenses such as MIT allow for other people to do a rugpull and change the deal (pray I don’t alter it any further). With open source licenses the community can just fork.

    That’s why I always pick AGPL for my projects. Then I can be certain that the code can be freed from greedy hands, and the actual users get all the value of the effort I put in.

    VC funding really is making a deal with the devil, because you suddenly have a huge amount of cash, so the startup starts living large (hire more devs, run on expensive cloud infrastructure). But sooner or later they want their money back, plus interest; and few services are profitable, let alone that profitable. So the only thing that startups are usually capable of is to squeeze their users for all they’re worth.

    Take a look at all the big startups and see:

    • how long it took for them to be profitable
    • how much VC funding they got until then

    Companies need to pay that back and then some.

    And don’t forget that VC’s see this as a perpetual investment, so your revenue must grow year after year, even if you’ve saturated the market.

  • No, it’s for you, since you talked about the timing. I could have made that more clear though.

    I’m not sure what the layout of the video has to do with anything, but yes, you don’t have to watch it.

  • The biggest joke is that there are a bunch of games with left-wing messages that are not considered woke ar all:

    • Bioshock 2 (Randian Objectivism for the win?)
    • Deus Ex (Are corporations bad? Who knows‽)
    • Fursan al Aqsa Fighting against colonialism is anti-woke I guess?
    • Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad (Need I say more?)
