Oddbean new post about login | logout there is no similarity between #Bitcoin and #Linux there was an open source unix for a long time, it was called BSD and it was built by students and postgrads at Berkeley University there was numerous other open source operating systems over the years too. Bell Labs Plan 9, for example... Niklaus Wirth's Oberon guess who is the biggest funder of Linux development these days? just one guess, and if you don't know, then don't go talking about how it's anything like bitcoin
Measuring an open source project solely on financial contributions and not real contributions (bug fixes, new features, testing, building automation, finding 0-days, supporting users in chatrooms and forums, etc.) is fiat mentality. I'm not even sure why people would object to purely factually statements like "bitcoin software and Linux software are both largely open source", but to ignore all the contributions people make just because they don't get paid for them is a, quite simply, a bad take. I said what I said. nostr:nevent1qqsf2pr708gzlflqth4wq77cvmdnurr9ur0hxemk6qulvmf2j0pu4sspr9mhxue69uhhqatjv9mxjerp9ehx7um5wghxcctwvspzqnyqqft6tz9g9pyaqjvp0s4a4tvcfvj6gkke7mddvmj86w68uwe0qvzqqqqqqyd9hllz
since everyone seems to want to ask me who is paying for linux development, here's your fucking link: https://www.learnitguide.net/2023/04/who-are-top-donors-of-linux-foundation.html now show me the list of funders of #bitcoin and see what they have in common pretty sure, absolutely NOTHING nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqnyqqft6tz9g9pyaqjvp0s4a4tvcfvj6gkke7mddvmj86w68uwe0qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qpqj5z8u7ws97n7qh02upaasekm8cxxtcxlwdnhd5pe7ekj4y7retpqgruxx2
