Flapping about, feeling morally superior… did you even try to search for an answer or did you just want to virtue signal? Take a look at RIsc, or Arm… or w/e the Chinese just released.

Eh, Im not even an open-source enthusiast. I just have low tolerance for people so full of themselves.

“Boohoo, people used my publicly available source to do their own thing and now I’m mad and want to get paid”.

That’s the gist of the article. Dev got butthurt that his project didn’t take off and blames “forking”.

Stoners and pharma-bros; who knew that’d be a functional combo.

I’d hazard a guess and say it all stems from advancements in tech. There was a need to get the most out of something because of limited resources. Now that everyone’s got some fairly serious hardware (yes, even the cheap shit), there’s rarely that urge to optimize.

Rather than optimize each new technology as it comes along and gets adopted, it seems as though the mantra is “fuck it, add it to the pile”. And it snowballs. As developers feel the need to optimize less, the lessons get passed down to the next generation, and so on.

So we’re left with apps/end-user stuff that appear to have been on the opposite of a diet.

Just a reminder that Spez can go fuck himself.

Regardless of what country “controls” it, Discord is bad for many other reasons as well.

Unless they’re implying that Chinese software will fail and bow down to “western software”, I’m not seeing a link either.
