some weird wannabe social network with no large corporation behind it and no VC money in the bank cannot work, should not work, will not work.

techbros can’t even imagine something working without capitalism, they truly have no imagination… no wonder they made genAI

Which is crazy because like... you think they would have heard of linux before

[–] carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 1 month ago

tbh these people would probably say linux is too niche anyways

but, like, imagine a project that's entirely free, backed by donations, fully open-source, and so successful that it's name has become a generic term for what it is. a project so successful that basically everyone who's ever been online has used it and uses it frequently. a project so ubiquitous that almost everyone takes it for granted.

too bad that doesn't exist!
