Steve Balmer quotes

I was just thinking about why many things on Linux are better. Like the install process on Linux is years ahead of windows.

Then it occurred to me that windows only improves things that can make them money. If you need to install windows, then you can deal with the crappy installer.

Linux devs improve the parts they think need to be better. The decisions are not guided by money and can be made without bias.

Anyone know how I can program Anarchism?

Microsoft loves open source nowadays.

People do a huge amount of their work for free.

They're also heavily invested in Linux for the cloud. So any work done there helps them.

Ah, the late 1900s when you could still pretend that Apple was the choice of the counterculture for no credible reason except for Apple marketing. Slacktivism, my dude. Worthless.

This meme is truly ancient. I bet those little iMacs go for a pretty penny on eBay now after everyone tossed them in the garbage circa 2003.

On an old coloured plastic iMac too.

Holy shit, this is an old old meme. This image has got to be at least 25 years old

I know, isn't it great?

When the program is free, it's socialism. The more free the program is, the more socialism it is. When the source is free, it's communism.

A reminder from Microsoft... While he's using a Mac?

Talk shit on FOSS, by comparing it to communism like it’s a bad thing, on Lemmy.

Now there’s a message this place will love, lol.

Hey Microsoft, your GitHub is showing

Well at least they are slighty more open to open source software since it make them money.

Based.

This makes me like it even more.

o7

This is great, where are the rest?

That iconic mac was the icing on the cake kek

Shit, I though at least one will be like "where linux" 🤣🤣🤣.

And here I thought I was programming a Bluetooth a2dp app.... I guess C is for communism?

Communism!

Now there's a guy I would have pegged as an Epstein disciple.

Use the right tool for the job

Yeah, but why would Microsoft post this? They barely make any open-source software so why are they promoting FOSS development?

Communism...

Oh great, the Communists have found this community. Time to make a new one.

Can we keep mainstream politics out of here please. I'm sick of them getting shoved into everything.

No. Foss Software is peak Capitalism.

Socialism means a central bureau decides what is needed and worked on

Meanwhile Capitalism is a System of decentralization

Foss Software isn't being centrally ordered because someone higher up decides it is needed. First the need arises and then the "Market" (The Developers out there) create a Solution to fullfill this need.

This Market, this pool of Developers is decentralized in smaller Groups. And that's good that way. I don't want someone to decide which Software gets developed. Not some CEO and definitely not some Bureaucrat.

I mean, the F in FOSS allows decentralized usage and a lot of People in the FOSS-Community prefer decentralized Solutions
