And he wants it to succeed because he's invested money into it and wants to make more money, not because he cares about the environment.

Fission isn't fusion, and saying he "wishes" people would use more fission power isn't actually doing anything to push for that. Fusion powering anything is still a literal fantasy for now, and in the meantime there is only going to be more fossil fuel use coming out of this. No one is currently building more fission plants for public grids, and he knows that perfectly well.

Why does it have to be a video? I can read an article so much faster, and without needing to be somewhere by myself that sound isn't bothering anyone.

I felt like I was going crazy sometimes with how often people in the FOSS community insist that nothing is wrong when large companies are massively profiting off of unpaid labor that is meant to help people, by turning it into part of their closed-source product, so it's nice to see that well-known figures in the community are starting to wake up to this being a problem.

I think that non-commercial-use clauses are a good way forward for certain projects, and commercial licenses for others. I wish that the upstream contrib requirements had taken off, but clearly Capitalism and the FOSS mindset aren't compatible, and capitalism is more widespread.

If you let corporations have something for free, they'll find some way to ruin it.
