i'll give you the business

Because thieves are lazy and stupid, and want you to make it easier for them to steal your stuff. Notice all the screaming whenever new laws are made or old ones are tightened up - that's the lazy and stupid thieves.

Because intellectual property is not a real thing.

You can make a piece of software and charge people to give them a copy. But licensing is immoral because it relies on the threat of force.

It's not.

Open source is a communist ideal therefore it is the one that is immoral

It isn't. That being said I do commend those few companies that also release community open-source editions of their proprietary software.

Like Microsoft?

I'm skepctical of them but they seem to release some of their stuff as open-source software. I'm actually considering learning C# because .NET Core on Linux seem to be open source.

Microsoft realized being in proprietary software is a dead end. The costs of maintaining a software platform are ridiculous when you're the only possible vendor. They've moved into middleware platforms instead where there's more money.

That looks like a pretty depressing workplace.

god damn thats a place i wouldnt get any work done in

>user, we've noticed you're not a teamplayer and can't fit into the company culture, we're afraid we have to let you go, these guards will escort you off the premises.

You could eat lots of beans and potatoes before work.

Base girl is row two with better taste in laptops than all the other cucks around here.

>not a teamplayer
are you denying the existence of my headmates?

Are these programmers?
I hope not, I would hate if I had to work in a place like this.

>girl
kek

You cannot pay me enough to work in such a place

nvm, you can, it's apple.

Is this what workplace looks like in California?

>So this is your chair, by the way, bring your own laptop ;)

Any law relies on the threat of force to ensure obedience. Unless you're an anarchist, I don't see this as a logical objection.

Too bad! My third gender, documented anxiety and minority status will make this place my BITCH once my lawyer gets here!

Jesus, they dont even have actual workspaces. They just take some overpriced shitty laptop and put in on a table, staring down at it until their neck breaks...

Is it too much to ask to have an actual monitor for at least a hint of ergonomic working??

Did that guy in the back right bring a fucking imac in a box to that place?

It isn't
In a free market you're free to develop and use OSS. I'm an OpenBSD user myself.

this, working in that kind of position is guaranteed to give you neck and back problems. For usage over long periods, you should plug into a monitor and use a proper keyboard and mouse.
