I think due to our federated nature here we likely have a bit of an echo chamber effect where we are more likely to agree with each other. For starters you’re more likely to be using Lemmy if you understand tech.
Sharing these same thoughts on pretty much any platform with more active users, and I expect we’d see a lot of blood thirsty capitalists poor into the comments.
Your friend knows a secret recipe for the best chocolate chip cookies. Your mother owns the best ovens in town.
Your friend cuts a deal with your mother to use her oven exclusively. Your mother agrees knowing she’ll get to charge your friend every time they use the ovens.
This is like that. The main value is in the design (recipe). Modern foundry’s are also complex and difficult to operate affordably, but they exist all over the planet. It’s ultimately the partnerships that makes it all possible.
I much prefer this to when the pharmacists sniff at my butt at entry and then give advice on diet and nutritional supplements.
Might be one of the few times a Lemmy post related to me.
I have owned a farm for four years, and do engineering for fun. AMA
The man who originally invented this tech is a really good guy, can’t recommend it enough!
Just sounds like HBO harassed some random dude with no real evidence. Calling that forum post “finishing his sentences” is conspiracy bullshit.
Hopefully if they continue to make claims they have a better argument to bring to the table.
Believe it or not but it requires resources to open source an internal product, especially one that may have been an experiment where some small team was able to convince leadership could become useful to the masses.
React.js at Facebook is a good example of this. It took a lot of effort to externalize and open source React, and tbh the codebase is still kind of garbage when it comes to contributions from those unfamiliar with its intricacies.
And nothing was lost.
