im out here wondering why anyone would hand anyone credit card information to watch already downloaded pirated content.

open source to me means open source, not open/paywall/ source.

i prefer my open source free with a lil jank. as god intended.

theres no way that wouldnt be gamified and taken advantage of. the whole idea behind open source is that it subverts the (programmed) urge to provide knowledge and products for profit, rather than the betterment of society.

if there is always a monetary incentive, it undermines the work of freeing people from paid slop, digital enslavement, and subscription services. it is a work of passion, and love, and it should remain unchained by something as illusory and temprorary as money.

that being said we do “live in a society” and people need to eat. if you use a program a lot and have money to spare, donate to your devs. we shouldnt lock open source behind a pay wall. that defeats the purpose of open source. devs are always more than welcome to do a hybrid of open and closed source of they wish.

id cry about how much i miss my wife, snot bubbles and everything. i might even shit my pants out of sadness, id just be a blubbery mess, covered in shit, tears, and at that point, likely piss as well. my longing knows no bounds.

i love my wife. i dont even like blinking when im around her because it takes time away from viewing her eternal beauty and splendor.

id probably ask you for a napkin and maybe a platonic ride home.

i was considering these devices for my home media set up, now im just building my own NAS with some old parts i had laying around and using open source software.

fuck this shit.

nice
