While yes, I agree that software should be FOSS. I also think that people who invent something should get the freedom to choose if they want to make it FOSS or proprietary. They should get the option to make a business off of it or to just make it free. Nobody should be forced to do either and they should make the decision on their own.
Oh my god yes. I fucking hate Cloudflare. Everything about it is just awful and unfortunately so many websites are using it now.
Honestly on ublock for most websites it’s pretty easy to just delete the “turn off your adblocker” popup. Some websites genuinely won’t work with an adblocker on though unfortunately.
Genuinely why are so many privacy focused tech companies making such stupid ass decisions recently
I only disagreed with forcing all software to be open source. I believe that while copyrighting your code is fine, I agree with you on the patenting thing. You shouldn’t be able to patent software and sue anyone if they reverse engineer it. I do agree with you on this part. However, yes you should be able to have the freedom to choose if you want to do the right thing, make it open source, or the wrong thing, make it proprietary. Yes keeping this freedom slows innovation. It also gives people who make an idea more of a choice rather than being forced to do one thing. You shouldn’t be able to sue anyone who figures out how your software works though because it isn’t going to be the same code that you made.
