Looks like you wandered into autocorrect changing the word “wonder” on you

The word is “advertisement” which has only one “d”, so the shortened form of it is "ad’ or “ads”.

CF is an antidote to intelligence agencies’ problem of losing visibility when most of the web switched to HTTPS a decade ago.

This is a claim that will need evidence backing it up.

Because it provides an extra layer of protection at no cost and makes DNS management very convenient, as well as other free features.

Just like ur mom

I’m surprised they didn’t immediately go with Lizard Humping A Square https://en.opensuse.org/images/2/25/Oscover.png

True, but there are no extra costs added to domains on Cloudflare

You’ve clearly just devolved into ad hominem attacks. Does your ego really hang on whether or not your YouTuber friend is perceived the way you want?

I just pointed out that the dude is obnoxious and you’re over there trying to defend him with complete nonsense.

Move on, buddy.

Because I’m answering you with logic?

Why do either of those matter towards being obnoxious?

Are all Australians obligated to be like that? Two years ago people were supposed to make videos acting obnoxious?

the same way the vast majority of YouTubers speak

“Everyone else is doing it” is not a free pass. Absolutely none of the creators I watch speak like that, and I can list quite a lot. It’s obnoxious.

He sight’s sources for a reason.

I’d hope so. It wouldn’t be good if they were blind.

Anyway, I didn’t question the accuracy of what he said, just that his manner of delivery is obnoxious and portrays an attitude of self-importance. It feels like he’s yelling at the viewer with hostility.

I agree that PRs are problematic, but that doesn’t make GitHub “trash”.

Also, that dude is so obnoxious and really seems to like to make broad generalizations of his opinion like it’s fact.

I’ve never heard of XD Linux before. I can’t even find it on distrowatch.

It’s literally the same issues, except that the market usage of WordPress is much higher now at over 43% of the entire Internet and around 60% of sites that use a CMS.

You can use WordPress as a “headless CMS” to generate static pages, but at that point just use something else.

1. Most companies doing open source lead people to conflate their free and open source software with their own proprietary version.

No, other companies make it very clear considering that there is no non-profit organization when it’s all controlled under one for-profit entity. You have not provided a single example of anything similar of a non-profit organization being used to benefit a for-profit organization because it is illegal.

2. Both are quite literally led by the same person, and have been since their founding

Yes. That is the fucking problem. A non-profit is used to unfairly benefit a specific for-profit business. That is illegal and unethical.

WordPress.org is run by a non-profit. WordPress.com is run a separate for-profit entity. That is what I have been saying. WordPress.org gives preferential treatment because they allow a separate entity to use their trademarks while explicitly not letting others do the same.

Also note that WordPress.org is run by a non-profit organization called the WordPress Foundation which is a separate entity from Automatic, the for-profit business that runs WordPress.com and provides hosting for their own proprietary version of WordPress that costs significantly more than the vast majority of WordPress hosting platforms that provide the unmodified version of the software with all of the features and none locked out behind a paywall.

Founadi, Hykes and Pahl founded “Docker Engine” and did not spin it out of their company “Docker Inc.” as a separate non-profit

That’s literally my point. Docker doesn’t pretend to be a non-profit, WordPress does.

Sorry, but I think this applies to you more than it does to me.

What a blowhard way of saying the most childish response of “no u”.

Do people think that Docker is a non-profit? Is there a separate non-profit called “Docker.org” that runs over 43% of the Internet that the for-profit “Docker.com” (a separate entity) intentionally conflates with themselves and uses the non-profit organization to get a major advantage over many other for-profit businesses that sell hosting for Docker?

It seems like you’re trying to read what I am saying in a way that fits what you want me to be saying and ignoring what I am saying rather than what I am clearly communicating.

A for-profit business also offering an open-source software is not a conflict of interest and perfectly fine, and like you show, there are plenty of examples of this behavior.

However, what absolutely is a conflict of interest, and is scummy as fuck, is running an non-profit that actively works as an advertising platform for your for-profit business as well as making it intentionally confusing to people that there are two separate entities of a non-profit and for-profit while giving preferential treatment towards that business among other competitors in the market.
