I am in/from post soviet country and have zero exposure to recent american culture. So my question is serious: is this article joke?

>I want to see all people fairly compensated for their labor without feeling forced into it; I do not want to see free and open source software stopped.

Author could send a donation to some open-source project. Instead he makes me (as OS developer) feel like a shit, because I stole some theoretical chance to someone else. This goes beyond occasional troll, and if this becomes a norm, I will seriously consider to make my projects private.


The author is a woman, by the way. Though I assume you're trolling.


for sure. make your projects private. and then you will be discriminated against for any future job prospects. you're welcome.
