That doesn't mitigate the environmental damage caused by others using it. I'm not opposed to the technology, nor strictly to its application, but to the irresponsible wau it's being handled currently.
You're right, I agree on that. Efforts should target the companies that offer it, rather than individuals.
I'm not sure the 4chan goblins actually believe they are bad guys so much as ironically embrace that image
Well i guess that's a great reason to harass individuals who never wished harm on anybody then 🤷
Read the rest of the comment. It's not.
Yeah i get it. It's just that the whole situation pisses me off to no end. There are exponentially more people destructively contributing to this campaign, than people constructively contributing code to projects. Cause it's easy and lazy and takes literally zero effort.
The only effect is to punish developers for having successful projects. They'd be fine if they were just dicking around on toy projects, but they chose to do something that matters, and to do it for free, and now they have haters. A lot more haters than helpers too !
We are collectively sending the message that it's better not to stick your head out and publish open source code, and this will wreak havoc on the already overtaxed FOSS ecosystem. Corporate tech must be rubbing its hand in glee now that we're doing what they never achieved in 30 years.
