This article again. Drew Devault is a shitstirrer that lives from drama. Painting Louis Rossmann as a nazi, white supremacist, or monarchy supporter is just misinformation and I’d go as far to say that it’s slander. He has thousands of videos trying to hold the state accountable, is nearly rabidly pro-privacy and pro consumer rights, and rails on and on about how shitty big tech companies are that have their way with their consumers.
I happen to agree with FUTO: the opensource licenses are not that great. Open source developers should get paid and if that means the definition of opensource has to evolve, so be it.
We should stop treating the opensource definition like gospel and quoting it as if it were a religious text. We should think for ourselves, not let our thoughts be dictated to us and then just go “this person said it, so they are right”.
FUTO funds great software. If that came out of the pocket of Hitler, Stalin, or Mao, I’d be happy ad it means less money going to whatever evil main endeavors they have. If a monarchist spends his fortune on opensource instead of raising a monarchy, fucking good. Don’t stop him. Demand he spends more.
Having a debate with a fascist legitimizes them, according to research. The right thing to do with nazis is deplatform them, full stop. You could be Jesus, if you’re debating a nazi you’re still signaling that their ideas are worth debating and giving them a platform to do so.
Why should open source change to accommodate oligarchs who put us in this place to begin with? Open source is very imperfect under capitalism, and if we had to choose we should get rid of the one that’s allowing millions to die from preventable deaths, when not outright killing them.
