  • Micro$hit Drags Everything Down

    Pov-Ray is one of the great wonders of the FOSS world:

    <https://github.com/POV-Ray/povray>

    Pov-Ray rivals the best commercial equivalents hands down.

    But a new release is overdue. Why? Check the Pov-Ray
    notes:

    "One impediment we have yet to overcome is code signing for the Windows platform. Currently we have no means of doing so as our previous key
    has expired. The difficulty is both cost and the need for flexibility
    in verifying us as an organization."

    Fuck that goddamned useless fucking Micro$hit! Just release
    a GNU/Linux version!

    But GNU/Linux requires competent users and, I suppose, a good portion
    of the Pov-Ray base is composed of Micro$hit slaves.

    Micro$hit, and all commercial companies, should be forcibly dissolved.
    Software is not a commodity but a necessary social utility and should
    be free and open for all. Only FOSS could deliver.

    cost?

    Give 'til it hurts, Freeloader Feeb (aka The Maladroit from Detroit).



    and the need for flexibility in verifying us as an organization."


    "we have a company registered in Australia ... the company doesn't sell anything, have a street address, or have a phone number."

    GuhNoo = shady and lame

    You can build it for Linux, numbnut.



    But GNU/Linux requires competent users

    Absolutely not. You're the most incompetent self-proclaimed "programmer extraordinaire" I've ever seen.



    and, I suppose, a good portion
    of the Pov-Ray base is composed of Micro$hit slaves.

    Tomorrow morning you'll be booting your Windows box at your Windows job.

    You should be forcibly removed from Mom's house.



    Software is not a commodity but a necessary social utility and should
    be free and open for all.

    You are a serious GuhNoo/socialist asshole hypocrite, since you demand
    to be paid for your software work.



    Only FOSS could deliver.

    Quit babbling about how great FOSS is, when you REFUSE to deliver your
    code. I know why, of course: the parts you wrote - that aren't
    plagiarized - are 99 and 44/100ths pure SHIT.
