To an extent I agree with this, but “Once upon a time, this guy licensed his code under BSD instead of GPL and basically it’s his fault the Intel Management Engine exists” is definitely a step too far
Tanenbaum is right, they obviously could’ve taken the time and money to write an OS themselves if they had to, but they didn’t have to, because a BSD license cuck wrote it for them. Thanks a lot, sucker!
I have no issues with this point.
But what’s up with the CIA “a bunch of n****rs” image above that? WTF?
holy fuck i didn’t even notice the chin text on that glowing emoji
WTF
When i wrote my comment i typed “i know Luke Smith is a bigot” at first, but then toned it down to “controversial” because i haven’t really watched or read a lot of him to know for sure. But that image basically confirmed what I thought I knew about him.
I wouldn’t either had he stopped there (and perhaps been a shade less overtly hostile to someone giving their work away for free). Instead he followed it up with
“Maximum amount of freedom to potential users” is somehow mass-surveilance of every computer user thanks to the BSD license. Thanks for your contribution to “freedom.”
No problems with that either. Tanembaum did unwittingly contribute to the biggest mass surveillance program ever rolled out worldwide, and all he had to say about it was “they didn’t thank me”. That asshole deserves all the criticism that lands on his feet.

It’s in reference to one of the recurring themes that came up in the blogs and streams of Terry A. Davis, sole developer of TempleOS.
I was half hoping for something like that. I like to believe bigots are a lot less common than their loudness would suggest.
Still terribly problematic and such a niche, ephemeral, reference.
What the fuck.
This is your brain on racism.
