rust is more proprietary than linus.

I use C#, GitHub and arch...

(I am replacing GitHub once my homelab server is set up though)

[-] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 4 points 2 months ago

I'm also replacing Github but I'm waiting for Forgejo to implement federation

Amazing how RMS is now on the traditional end of traditional to disruptive.

This whole chart should've been rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise.

Wouldn't that put Bill Gates on the "freedom" side?

[-] grue@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

No, I mean the whole chart should be rotated, including the labels. I want "freedom" to be across the bottom and "proprietary" to be across the top, so that it matches "libertarian" and "authoritarian" on the political compass.

("Tradition" and "disruption" don't map to "left" and "right" quite as well, but if it were exact it would just be the political compass instead of just analogous to it.)

Language choice has nothing to do with foss vs proprietary.

[-] kunaltyagi@programming.dev 7 points 2 months ago

Apple's preferred languages definitely have a smaller foss footprint than say c or rust or go

Is bit keeper even still around anymore?

TS, JS, Java, and Codium are proprietary?

[-] Hack3900@lemy.lol 8 points 2 months ago

I don't think Codium is on this image

Emacs, icecat, guix, parabola, c, c++. Stallman. What are the others in that quadrant?

[-] Baleine@jlai.lu 7 points 2 months ago

GNU Savannah and old thinkpads that can run with fully free software.

Freedom is to proprietary as libertarian is to authoritarian. Tradition is to distruption as political right is to political left. Better would be for the x axis to be left-to-right disruption->tradition and the y axis to be bottom-to-top freedom->proprietary. So, rotated 90° counterclockwise and then mirrored left-to-right.

[-] CaJoasca_Baloon@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 months ago

it's definitely generalized, but I'd say I fit the disruptive open source type, though i respect the trad open source guys a lot.. But, like.. as of currently, I can't even call myself an actual programmer seeing as I write stories instead of code nowadays..

Definitely would like to balance the two someday.

[-] banshee@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I think there's a healthy amount of bs in there (Chrome, C# as traditional?), but some of it checks out. I like a mix of old and new but try to stay away from proprietary. Current favorites are probably Emacs, NixOS, and Rust.
