Not to put too fine of a point on this, but if I spent the last few months putting innocent people in concentration camps and the pope died basically three seconds after I met him, I would not continue life apace, I would not immediately clock back in at the fascism factory.

Open source projects that change their licenses to prevent big companies from strip mining OSS get unfairly criticized @microsoft.com forking and rebranding the work of Spegel is just another example that big companies dont ❤️ anything but profits https://philiplaine.com/posts/getting-forked-by-microsoft/

Liked Getting Forked by Microsoft
Post details
Three years ago, I was part of a team responsible for developing and maintaining Kubernetes clusters for end user customers. A main source for downtime in customer environments occurred when image registries went down. The traditional way to solve this problem is to set up a stateful mirror, however we had to work within customer budget and time constraints which did not allow it. During a Black Friday, we started getting hit with a ton of traffic while GitHub container registries were down. This limited our ability to scale up the cluster as we depended on critical images from that registry. After this incident, I started thinking about a better way to avoid these scalability issues. A solution that did not need a stateful component and required minimal operational oversight. This is where the idea for Spegel came from.

Post details
and embark on a thought experiment to discuss how a commercial entity would handle something like the xz incident. It was very specific and difficult to understand. It's easy to claim just because source code being available doesn't matter. But the reality is when source code is needed, it can make a huge difference for everyone working together, just like we saw with xz. Show Notes

Idk who needs to hear this but tech workers who have to have high salaries are still working class and should act (and be treated) accordingly. Tech workers have much more in common with miners and factory workers and secretaries and baristas than with management and executives.
