I know we are defed’d from them but I couldn’t resist the urge to share this absolutely uproarious chudpost from world.

Meta will become the champion of Open Source and near completely become as known for it as Google was in the mid to late 00’s. They will dominate AI to such an extent Facebook will be the inbred backwater project that no one thinks about when the name Meta pops up. I know it’s hard to swallow and believe right now, but the Zuck isn’t the driver that matters here. Yann LeCun is the person behind Meta AI and he is Bell Labs alumni beating the war drum of open source for market leadership, not monopoly, just leadership. The majority of the digital age exists on those credentials; a Bell Labs alumni pushing Open Source. That is worth betting big on IMO.
It may take a couple hundred years, but AGI lead government is coming, once conservative stupidity fades. A politician with infinite persistence and fractal attention is far better than anything finite corruptible humans with tiny attention spans can offer the public.
Yeah you hit it pretty much on the head here. Basically your OSI/Github types who created a campaign against copyleft. BS like "post-open" that sprouted recently from that same group that basically are nonfree licenses all over again instead of tackling the actual issue of capitalism.
Sometimes I think I just too worried all the time. FOSS spaces are just very terminally online (out of necessity really since we are so small comparatively) and that leads to a lot of reactionary takes that aren't actually reflective of real people's attitudes. Which leads to a lot of arguing with people who haven't even done their basic homework.
I see your point, I still have lingering reservations about using the term FOSS but I can understand it better now.
