Oh geeze.
Technology Connections guy is getting boosted a lot, again.
Someone who thinks that birdsite was better and also is at least frank that they had a "Quality Filter" turned on there.
As if that doesn't scream privilege.
I also seem to see a lot of toots from him that put "FOSS" and "zealot" in the same sentence.
Rather than acknowledging the reality: most software is libre/free open source software.
It always has been.
The C compiler? probably.
DNS? Yep.
DHCP? Most definitely.
Your TLS library: almost assuredly. Moreover, if you were one of the idiots who used the commercial RSA BSAFE crypto library, more or less guaranteed you got the NIST backdoored Dual_EC_DRBG. I'm personal friends with someone who worked on that library. We've been friends since high school. He expressed to me that he was ashamed when he found out about that.
Your browser? Just look for mentions of NCSA Mosaic, even if you were running some shite version of Internet Explorer instead of something libre/free open source from the get go like Firefox.
I could go on.
But: you could instead be so deeply ignorant that you think that a smattering of companies following college drop out Bill Gates bad example of plagiarism for profit, creating massive economic disparities which society has never rectified, because they put their corporate stamp on something many MANY layers above makes it OK for them to be worth billions or trillions while we have people homeless and starving to death.
It's pretty obvious where Technology Connections guy is.
Did he intentionally rip off James Burkes' show Connections show name too? Sure seems like it to me.
But James Burke, did it SO much better. Decades before YouTube even existed.
