if buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing. How can you steal something that the customer cannot own?
By stealing it? You dont have to own something to steal it. Or maybe I'm reading that wrong. Lol it's a very interesting take but I like the spirit of it... And it made me laugh. Cool 😎
Yes! Can't believe it's 2024 and websites are still not accessible. Even the biggest companies are the worst at this... and don't even get me started on their mobile sites 🙄
WOM has and will always be the best form of marketing and you dont need big marketing teams to do it.
The problem is that a company doesnt need that many people to push a product. They can just pay the few they need, well. But instead, they'd just rather hire a shit ton of people and under pay all of them.
This reply reads like we should have to pay for these big unnecessary marketing teams these companies hire, which shouldn't be the case.
Just depends on what works best for each of us. But personally, I agree with you. It's not that I think one company owning a ton of the services is a bad thing in itself. But history has shown us that, when a company starts to dominate a certain market, they tend to start becoming tone-deaf to our interests, because they know we can't (easily) switch and go somewhere else.
How would it work if the open source maintainer is a commercial company?
AFAIK there are no restrictions on when an Open source maintainer can change their license. They can do it even after their work has already been used.
So couldn't a company like, Facebook (since they own open source React) just change their React license to this one and all of sudden start charging everyone for it? 🤔
Exactly what I was wondering the entire time I was listening. None of these questions were asked during the episode. A lot of handwaving and buzzword double-speak. She didn't go into any real technical detail.
Eh. These sorts of metrics aren't always accurate. And the source company did the study in 2016, which was a very very different internet, and doesn't go into detail about how they were able to determine this number. I would take that with a grain of salt. I agree that just having a notice somewhere is better than not, though.
