@joshbressers is on a roll. Peak Josh sarcasm, guaranteed pH-value around zero. Go read it, keep 🍿 at the ready.

Certainly agree on the "explosive diarrhea opportunity" argument. You forgot to find an opportunity to garnish the post with some salad leaves.

The rest is as hilarious as it is on point.
Question is: Whereto next?

Invest more in complexity reduction?
More in containment and ability to be failure-operational? - See the last podcast episode on that.
Or that "it's all infrastructure and hence FOSS needs to be nationalized, government run and paid from tax money" argument which is all too popular at the moment.

Or maybe that

Force to internalize the FOSS risk back onto those that are possibly profiting from it argument?

After all, FOSS is the video-game edition of the literal sofa/cook top/... someone threw on the street and you thrifted it because it seemed to still be good enough to re-use for a while.
With the video game effect being that it immediately reappears once you took it. pling

Intentionally commercial FOSS might be the slightly better looking loot, but with a line attached to it and usually intentionally missing parts for certain use cases. Which is completely fine.

All rules and regulations are present for this already. They're just large scale ignored across the board. Funnily even by a very large degree of those who create said FOSS.

I guess it's just easier to do nothing and enjoy freshly roasted smores on the ever burning garbage fire that Josh post described so nicely?
