What you’re missing is that they want the people to fight them so they have an excuse to attack them more. And these excuses work retroactively too. They bomb, wait for a retaliation, then they say “see, we were right to bomb them,” followed by an even bigger attack. Repeat till there’s nothing left to bomb.
But at double the price that they were a few months ago.
Well, you have to own one of these things when you’re a king, you know.
I recently needed to build newer versions of some packages for Debian. Now, they’re go based so the official packaging is super complicated and eventually I decided to try and make my own from scratch. After a few more hours of messing with the official tooling I start thinking “there must be a better way.”
And sure enough, after a bit of searching I found makedeb which allows you to make debs from (almost) regular PKGFILEs. Made the task a million times simpler.
As if the original comic wasn’t reductive and unnecessarily dismissive enough, you’ve somehow made it worse. Let people make things if they think they have a shot at it, please.
They’re going after the anger dollar, that’s a good dollar. We’ve done research.
Compiling any larger go application would hit this limit almost immediately. For example, podman is written in go and has around 70 dependencies, or about 200 when including transitive dependencies. Not all the depends are hosted on GitHub, but the vast majority are. That means that with a limit of 60 request per hour it would take you 3 hours to build podman on a new machine.
Unfortunately, almost all of them are mediatek based, so while that makes rooting easier, there’s very little chance of getting a custom ROM running on them.
Oh wow, I loved that. Thank you for sharing.
I think the meme is backwards. It should be one serious person in a meeting of clowns and puppets.
Here’s a better example: the use of GPL software (primarily Linux and busybox) by Linksys when they made their wrt54g router was used to compel them into releasing the source code of the firmware for that router. Subsequent GPL enforcement by the SFC made Cisco release full firmware sources for a whole series of Linksys routers. Thanks to those sources openwrt, ddwrt and several other open source router firmwares developed.
I can now run three openwrt routers in my home purely thanks to the GPL. If those projects had been MIT licensed, Linksys and Cisco could have just politely told everyone to go suck a lemon because they would have had no obligation to release anything.
But my time is finally near…
Don’t be silly, anger isn’t an emotion, duh.
