You really don't see the parallels between this statement and "anyone can become a millionaire"?

There's a chance you could stumble onto a point if Lemmy was profit-driven.

Not everyone has the opportunity or the skillset to "do what they want" with the source code. I'm not a coder. How can I do whatever I want? I'm beholden to the structures that other people build.

You don't need to be in order to be able to download the source code. Skills are not ownership.

Sure I can downland a thing. But what can I DO with it?

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

Whatever you want. You're drawing conclusions that do not follow.

You're being obtuse.
