Oh look, theft that's legally protected because something starts making profit! It's like the existence of the stock market is the central problem with capitalism, since it's just an excuse to be a shitty person and is only ever used in that capacity. "fuck you, i get more money this way" is a dumb fucking principle to operate a society on. Antisocial, in fact. Google's IPO can be directly traced to every single problem the internet (and so, society) has right now.

Capitalism is the problem with capitalism. And It's not an excuse to be shitty, but the cause itself.

Never ever ever ever ever give your work for free to a startup unless it's running under an open source model that guarantees even if they do go public, all that work remains openly available to everyone!

I saw one interview with the CEO on Reddit and deleted the app. The guy is an absolute nonce.

[–] el_abuelo@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So we're still using nonce then?

So long as you keep acting like one.

Are all of us here aware of the meaning of the word 'nonce' or are we using it as a different word for "idiot"?

Welcome to the party pal - where you get downvoted because you thought the word used to marginalise gay people had fallen out of favour...along with poof and bender.

New life lesson: never volunteer for a for-profit company.

But then how would spez ever be able to take Reddit public?!

never give a corporation your labour for free.

People should have known this from the beginning.
