Frankly, I doubt he said anything worth listening to.
IMO the XZ thing shows the strength of open source, some turbo pedant found the backdoor within about an hour of it being released because a program took 0.3 seconds longer to start. That wouldn’t be possible in a closed source app that can’t be debugged properly.
Isn’t it open source?
How is he controversial? the only negative thing I’ve seen about FUTO is the proprietary license grayjay is under.
the large ecosystem of commercial crap which has tainted by association the open source core of it
Isn’t the main shop plugin (woocommerce) heavily infested with that though?
the tl;dr is: he asked nicely for the source code and they gave it to him?
It’s a shame they don’t embrace federation and open source more, the drama it would create would be fun at least.
Gitlab seem to be terrible for rolling over for corps.
The c-suite of the MPAA is surprisingly… diverse https://www.motionpictures.org/who-we-are/our-people/
The only colour the bourgeoisie care about is green.
We’re gonna build a firewall, a big beautiful firewall.

I know he’s doing this entirely out of self interest, but it’s interesting how by being such an obvious bloody bastard, but the lesser bastard in several cases, he manages to highlight how terrible some of the bastards with good PR departments actually are.
What on earth are they up to?
Looks like it should be simple to make in most CAD programs, personally I’d use fusion360 or openSCAD since that’s what I’m used to.
Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free
he does stick to his principles well.
He’s an open source advocate but made his grayjay app closed source.
Normally I’d agree, but it doesn’t actually seem to be advertised as open source.
That said, it’s still IMO a terrible licence for code, the “share alike” doesn’t require sharing source code at all, because it’s not designed for code.
This whole thing has seemed weird since he announced it was going private, but had no way to make an account.
Did the feds get to him?
