As soon you leave your mother's basement, because you have a pregnant wife, your Open Source career is over. Worst case you work for Google or Mac, best case you work for IBM/Red Hat or Canonical. Open Source is a great way for companies to maximize profits by sharing development and maintenance costs :) :)
I know, it's really terrible how capitalism totally destroys everything beautiful, thoughts included. "back in the day, people were not thinking about licenses". Exactly, because capitalism greedy hands had not yet destroyed it. I know people will call me stupid, or living in a basement, but that is not it. I am thinking of development. And research clearly indicate that capitalism IS going to break, NOBODY has ever managed to produce a model that works for eternity, most models shows it should already be broken (IMHO it IS looking at the inequality of wealth distribution in the world), but that is also being silenced by the same capitalistic machinery, and this whole video is proof of that. You are not wrong, but the scary part is that most people completely naturally plays into the hands, coming up with "defencive points" or "pointing out the reality" of a system that will be the end of civilization as we know it unless we move on to phase 2 in humanity. Scary stuff... One thing you ARE incorrect in is the security part. It is VERY proven to be safer using open source. While for example windows 10 home edition had a freaking backdoor for years, KNOWN by the cia might I add (maybe even kept alive, who knows), and ONLY got detected because of a whistle blower!! Are we just ignoring stuff like that? How do we know how safe this closed source software is TODAY?!? "...gets fixed right way...." my a**... And then we have PROOF of how things gets stopped like in the very recent XZ ATTEMPT by a state hacker. DO NOT lie about important stuff like that!

I think one -if not the biggest- advantage of open source especially in these times is the ability to confirm how the software deals with your data. And taking the producer's word for it is surely not the answer as Google and many more have shown us.

Basically, the biggest issue with Open Source besides little to no money in it are the sycophants that pretend like they are superior to you for using open source products.
I think where open source is really useful is video game preservation, like the classic DOOM and QUAKE (all 3 of them) that can be played anywhere thanks to open source. It still requires the original game, but it won't suddenly stop working, unless it's no longer maintained that is.
I think this gets at why I ended up on Fedora- open source, yet connections to corporate developers and money, but without being "corporatized" and micro managed to anywhere near the degree that Canonical does with Ubuntu, Evilcorp with Windows, or the other Evilcorp does with Mac.
Open source = collaboration and standardization.
No one company is responsible for all of the internet.

Doesn't the same issue apply here too? How many people are actually checking source code of programs to see if it's leaking information?
Many.

Uhhhh. Everything is overrated. Overrated and underrated stuff is overated.
Viral open source, such as GPL, can be quite damaging. Permissive open source - MPL, MIT, BSD and alike, is the way to go.
So overrated that windows takes the overwhelming majority of users. Said no sane person ever.
Good video. For how I use my computers I prefer to donate $200 to the Debian project rather than pay $200 to Microsoft for a Windows 11 Pro license.
I prefer to keep my $200 _and_ pirate windows just to say fuck you to microshit.
