Musicians and artists are people who focus on music and art. Billionares are businessmen who focus on making money. As many others are highlighting in the thread a billion dollars is a ridiculous amount of money that you don’t simply hit, you have to seek profits above everything else and work your way up there.
and liking a billionaire does not make someone good or bad.
Buddy we all make mistakes. Liking a billionaire is simply not good don’t try to hide yourself behind an excuse. The world has much better artists and music to offer.
He figured out he can have an army of junkie fanatics if he gets into the videogame business. Just like his multi billionare colleague steam ceo gabe newell who owns a billionare mega yacht fleet and somehow still get praised even here on lemmy.

There’s a very good reasons why people and organisations will pay for proprietary software when there is a free alternative available.
And there are also very good reasons why people and organisations are stopping relying on proprietary software and switching to open alternatives that won’t lock them up.
That has not much do to with FOSS but with the people you are working with. Proprietary software you can’t even contribute freely to begin with
it would be absolute chaos with no direction, conflicting goals, incomplete projects, and limited oversight
You are describing the current scenario where everything is proprietary

How are these things related to anything that is being said in this thread? Chinese government is a rigged authoritarian regime as much corrupted as the american or russian government. China, America and Russia are all each fueling a genocide at the current time. I believe genocides are a crime against humanity and anyone involved in one should be convicted.
