Zink,

Talk shit on FOSS, by comparing it to communism like it’s a bad thing, on Lemmy.

Now there’s a message this place will love, lol.

Cowbee,

It’s clearly a red scare parody.

Zink,

Of course, and it’s an old image too, but it still amused me thinking of the contrast between the message and the current audience.

Cowbee,

There isn’t, the message itself is satire. The audience is precisely who the message is for, it’s making fun of Microsoft comparing FOSS to Communism, parodying red scare propaganda.

Unless I’m misunderstanding you, of course.

jaybone,

Trying to explain satire is communism

KreekyBonez,

it seems like a pro-communist programming message to me. the red dude looks super cool and supportive.

riodoro1,

Yeah, he’s probably giving mad tips to the dev and he looks happy, so we know the red dude is not just a dickhead.

Lmaydev,

Microsoft loves open source nowadays.

People do a huge amount of their work for free.

They’re also heavily invested in Linux for the cloud. So any work done there helps them.

0x4E4F,

Steve Balmer wasn’t as keen on it…

palordrolap,

With Microsoft, any love shown could well be the Embrace part of the strategy that will lead to Extend and then Extinguish just as soon as they can figure those parts out. They might already have a plan.

The fact they've been able to turn things to their advantage so far does not mean they don't have such a plan. Or won't ever have one.

Seems unlikely with how they work now. You also can’t really extinguish foss.

.Net is cross platform and open source as well now.

Maybe if Linux becomes a competitor in the desktop market. But I don’t see that happening any time soon.

Fuck off with this cheap shitty leftist propaganda

0x4E4F,

Shit, I though at least one will be like “where linux” 🤣🤣🤣.

And here I thought I was programming a Bluetooth a2dp app… I guess C is for communism?

tetrahedron,

That iconic mac was the icing on the cake kek

jayrodtheoldbod,

Ah, the late 1900s when you could still pretend that Apple was the choice of the counterculture for no credible reason except for Apple marketing. Slacktivism, my dude. Worthless.

This meme is truly ancient. I bet those little iMacs go for a pretty penny on eBay now after everyone tossed them in the garbage circa 2003.

Now there’s a guy I would have pegged as an Epstein disciple.
