When I buy a game, I’m thinking of buying the experience, not the underlying mechanisms.

When i buy a bicycle i'm thinking of buying the experience, not the underlying mechanisms

you don’t have the info and machinery you’d need to make your own identical bicycle.

When you pirate the game you are making an identical copy of the game

Found one it's called google, seem like all companies in the world advertise on twitter except for these two in the title that pulled out

Reddit mods also work for free as volunteers. Don't underestimate internet popularity and power over communities, not so many days ago there were stories about mastodon instances admins getting invited for talks at meta. Lemmy is an open source and decentralized alternative to reddit, using discord for announcements misses the whole point

Releasing the source code would allow anyone to copy AND modify or extend the game as they see fit

So just like when you buy a bicycle irl and you are allowed to customize it and set it up as you want. Are you saying we shouldn't be allowed to modify goods?

Without the source code there's no way to know what you are running, ever heard of a spyware named red shell?

I would also like to compile my own binaries for my own system

A house isn't software, it's more like getting handled the blueprints of the building. They already have access to the property what's the difference if they have the blueprints or not

Like having the source code?

Why not releasing the source code then?

governments and politicians got their hands on it

It is, it's an addiction

 

I'm sure this is a common topic but the timeline is pretty fast these days.

With bots looking more human than ever i'm wondering what's going to happen once everyone start using them to spam the platform. Lemmy with it's simple username/text layout seem to offer the perfect ground for bots, to verify if someone is real is going to take scrolling through all his comments and read them accurately one by one.
