The technical reasons for a screensaver pretty much vanished 10+ years ago, the security aspects are stronger than ever.

I have a (relatively simple - by design) calendar/scheduling app. It just keeps schedule planning slots for people, they can check their own schedules, my wife can arrange schedules to get coverage, it tracks “vacations” when people aren’t available, etc.

Last night, we decided we needed to track monthly budgets as well as schedles. Literally 4 prompts to Fable 5.2 and I have the monthly budget tracking feature, showing N (N=4 today) categories of budget tracked, against M (M=8) employees each earning different pay rates (3 different rates today) and showing how the budget spends down across the month as each week goes by in all the categories. It has a web interface, can be managed on a phone, it has .pdf outputs with nicely formatted tables. 4 prompts in one night starting after dinner, and I barely paid attention to it as it ran, tested out working after 2 prompts, added the .pdf outputs and reformatted one view with the last 2 prompts.

Management potential. If they have negotiated / found a clear legal path to at least distribution - if not profit, they’re operating on a higher level than a lot of traditional businesses.

The test is in the results - are people happy playing the port? If it “works for them” then, yeah, the kiddiez have done something worthwhile, at least to the happy players.

Does it matter if they wrote it in Rust, or C++, or Assembly, or english language prompts?

I mean, if you’re ordering Pepperoni, no…

If you’re ordering a pumpkin curry with sweet corn on feta/pesto base, and your friends don’t vomit when they try it, you just might be the cheff.

How many of their constituents will remember this 23 months from now?

I don’t know who is arguing this because it’s incredibly stupid.

It’s not a hard question to solve: who profits from the argument?

Almost all modern architecture would collapse without the open source ecosystem.

If you yanked it away all at once, sure. Just like society would collapse if we quit delivering gasoline and diesel to the filling stations, or electricity to the grid.

If the opensource ecosystem “went closed” today, meaning: no new developments or changes allowed to be used by commercial entities, there would be an initial surge-panic to bring maintenance of the open source tools they use in-house, probably under shared development agreements - it would be interesting to see how the corporations handle that hypothetical scenario, but I don’t think they’d collapse at any greater rate than they already collapse as part of the course of regular business.

The ironic thing I think would come out of the open source community “cutting off” business use of their newly developed things is: I would predict business to adopt the open model to keep their customers off their backs, not have to handle support the way they did in the 1980s/ early 90s - that was super expensive as compared to: here’s a link to our website, you can find what you’re asking for in there.
