They're probably the most successful open source company, and their tech is pretty good too.

Doubt there will be a robot apocalypse, however

On: The UN Will Consider Banning Killer Robots (hrw.org)

I highly doubt there will be a robot apocalypse, however there is a huge problem with letting a computer program decide whether a person should be killed or not. Bugs are inevitable and putting a computer algorithm in charge of this means someone who isn't supposed to be killed is going to get killed eventually due to a software defect.

"Every legitimate app is going to be on Google Play or on iTunes" Then where are the adblockers and F-Droid on Google Play?

So ADS=BAD but DRM=GOOD

How are ads worse than DRM? At least ads don't cripple the video.

Saying "it's illegal" is a stupid argument...

Re:But the license does NOT ban profit

On: Ebay Shop Scrapes Thingiverse, Sells Designs In Violation of Creative Commons (all3dp.com)

This is why I don't like it when people just say "Creative Commons License". There are very different Creative Commons Licenses out there, some allow commercial use, some forbid commercial use, some forbid forbidding commercial use. They need to be more specific to avoid confusion like this. Although TFA says this, but they left that out on the Slashdot post

This is actually true as I joked about this before. Where are my mod points when I need them?

I would actually pay for Godot as long as it stays open source

It's letting a computer algorithm decide whether a person should be killed or not that I have a problem with.
