I read a mastodon criticism article and it's fine. But it ends on the note of basically "without a company to buy the code and save itβ€”it'll never survive!". Like, capitalism is gonna swoop in and save the day. smh

It's just obvious in this guy's head the idea of something existing without the stability of a company is inconceivable, because companies are the ideal.

@Vavassor Typical business mindset. I was asked once how can companies run a "free-to-play" online game. No matter which answer I gave, they can't handle it. The company closed down, the "free-to-play" is still kicking.

If they don't see money generation, it is always "doomed to fail". That's how they think.

@Vavassor Yeah, imagine what would have happened to Linux if that company did not buy the code 😜

@Vavassor <sarcasm>don't you know that capitalism and companies are the only ones who can save the world and run all the people to a better future pursuing the general interest?</sarcasm>
