Where’s the profanity, dummy?

It’s over there, in a box

points at the box where all the fucks are kept

Oh, so that’s where all my fucks went!
Watch your tongue, OSShole.
Yeah, OP, watch your disgusting fucking mouth.
You fuck your mother with that mouth?
The fuck is this, reddit?
I read this as Indian the first time lmao
which corporations arent giving back?
Take your pick. Where do you work? If they are writing closed source stuff, there’s a very big chance they use opensource without paying or contributing back.

Battlefield has parts that run on Godot.

I don’t see EA on the donors page.

but they give to open source www.ea.com/seed/open-source
SEED Open Source - EA Official Site

Electronic Arts Inc.
Yeah, EA may be a bad example. I have found EASTL useful.
@[email protected] (mastodon.social/@bagder) did a presentation, and included a slide combo which essentially boiled down to:
Companies using curl: <hundreds>
Companies supporting curl: 0
Wow. Ok give curl more love but that’s not all oss
I’m proud to announce that I’ve made one (1) contribution to curl at work!
Even most companies with open source projects rarely “contribute” as much as have source available with a CLA.
What part of this is “humor”?

Big bad corporations. Hahahhaah

Amirrite!

also big corps contributing is great bc they have alot of resources to help out (like steam using resources on arch linux)

Steps to get paid doing OSS:

  • Get a job
  • Convince boss to use OSS
  • Wait for bug report or feature request
  • Proudly remind everybody that this is OSS and that you can address the ticket (on company time of course)
  • Convince boss maintenance will go way more smoothly if you open a PR upstream
  • Go back to step 3
