Wow.

I keep telling my conservative friends, you gotta switch to open source, you gotta switch to open source, you gotta switch to open source.

Most of them have refused to listen. I really hope they'll listen now.

Open source is without any doubt the way to utterly devastate big tech and get back to a situation more closely resembling reality.

Yes! I heard this message today, and I hope this concept catches fire regardless of whether Musk buys or not. It’s hard to argue against and even pretend to be “fair.”

The 20th century accomplished things like never before and neither the long distance phone network nor the US Mail needed algorithms. Their role was to provide a neutral channel through which ideas and information could flow.

Open source is stupid. Software people are generally a congenial group... but very naïve.

Right now its like giving ‘free food’ to members of your family. And then extended family.

But imagine when you have to give it to everyone on your neighborhood, or city?

people should be “able to speak freely within the bounds of the law”

that pretty much sums it up, doesn’t it?

if it isn’t against the law, it should be allowed.

I can see how this would be good for Twitter’s competitors, but how is it good for Twitter? They paid for something and would just give it away for free.

The last thing tweeter employees want is for the company to promote free speech. Musk is triggering the snowflakes. They are going to need therapy animals.
