Call me old-fashioned, but... I kinda liked it back in the day, when Microsoft made proprietary software, the Community made free software and everyone's "cui bono" was quite easy to answer - even those corporations involved in FLOSS did have a clear way to finance themselves.
Now, we have Microsoft coming into open source, seemingly making projects better and offering more and more "free" stuff.
You know.
"Free" Windows 10.
"Free" SaaS Office.
"Free" "Private" Repos on Github.
In general - what happened to clear and concise "I give you money, you give me stuff" capitalism like we had it in the 2000s?
I'd rather pay 20 bucks for a game on Steam than get it "free" and with ads or microtransactions - yet, many games, especially mobile, don't even offer me that option. It wouldn't be that hard now, would it?
The same goes for software. That Canonical would need to fuck their users over after Ubuntu One went to shit was obvious - they didn't offer the kind of commercial/enterprise OS'es that Redhat or SuSE sell.
What people seem to forget is that everyone needs to make a profit somehow. You don't get "free" stuff. Even the volunteers in the Open Source Community get something out of it - an opportunity to pad their CV at least, if nothing else.
Nowadays, software manufacturers have the same legitimacy as the "free" financial "advisors" you find at banks - and who could be dumb enough to trust them? Oh yeah: Almost the entire fucking society is who.
But then again, sell something and noone will want it - because they all want it for free, with annoying, privacy-invading ads or with equally annoying microtransactions, or financing based on commission - so you don't only pay ONCE, you pay until you realize you got fucked over and quit.
Capitalism used to work until all those idiots stepped in. How the fuck don't people realize that there's no free lunch in life? When have we stopped being functional people and turned into idiots.
Even worse: Those idiots think that they're entitled to something! They, who volunteered to become merchandise instead of customers, think that they have rights! Do cattle have rights? Nope. They get their "free" hay everyday and I get to buy beef, that's how it works. Moo!
Hell, they are surprised when they get fucked over by bank salespeople or their data stolen by corporations, intelligence agencies or something... What did they expect, goodwill?
Can we please make Adam Smith mandatory reading in school?! I mean, give people a chance to understand capitalism? The nonexistent "goodwill" of traders in general?8 -

Hey Devrant friends!, i really hope everyone is doing very well today, and that also their week is treating them very well!, i'd like to say to everyone here i'm very sorry for my level of activity within the community.
Approximately one month ago on the 21/01/2019 i lost my best friend and fellow companion for the last 13 and a half years, therefore things have been quite difficult emotionally and just overall :-( though with time things should only get better, (I'm positive) .
Now to more of a positive part of my post :'D, i'd love to ask my fellow developers the following question, if you could help me out i'd be very much grateful!, so for awhile now i had a hobby of messing around with the stock market, and have been re-searching a specific field.
That would be investment-banks such as JP.Morgan, Morgan Stanley etc. What sort of languages would they be using, currently I've been using , C#,C++,Java, Py(learning) :'D, though im not so sure if its a good idea to be juggling so many languages at once, Also i'd love to know do they have opportunities in which allow students like myself to visit such places and see the technology behind the trading and what developers use? i'm really curious, Also are there such positions in which developers work with traders? not really 'quant' type positions, developers who work in the section?.
Friends, i'd like to thank you very much for reading my post, i know it may be quite lengthy and most likely all over the place (im sorry!) , i'm very grateful you have taken the time to do so :-), i really appreciate it!.
I really wish everyone the absolute best <3.
Thank you
Milo <38 -

I am so bored and wanted to see some cool moving charts. So I started work on a little market economy simulation with different sources, drains and recipes for a variety of resources. Traders buy stuff, produce stuff and sell stuff at prices. They look at the market, how it has evolved, offers and requests to determine the prices for which they want to buy and for which they want to sell their stuff.
Currently just basic stuff and testing manually since I haven't completed the whole market simulation tick method. And I want to verify if the Traders work as I expect. -
Heyyy DevRant Fam! :D, hope everyone is doing very well today! i would love to get some input/advice from my fellow developer friends here today... so Milo has gotten himself into a sticky situation... So recently i had a little opportunity to get some mentor-ship or internship through a family friend, and im sooo excited but nervous at the same time.. i sometimes think to myself am i really 'good enough for such a position'?? but however since I've never really experienced this sort of work, whats their to lose? or is this a bad way too think about it? :D
so ladies and gents, I'm really interested in the stock market and that sort of finance, and i think id be a good fit to build tools for traders, if i cannot get into that sort of position, why not work back office and have more of a support role? I'm always very happy to work my way up as I'm highly motivated!, however in the case that i manage to get into such a position, I'd love to know, what sort of things do i need know to be able to land such a position? if you can give me any tips or advice id be extremely grateful! :D
If you have managed to get this far into my post, I'd love to say thank you so much! and i really apologize for rambling on... i generally always do that.... and also i want to say thank you so much for taking the time to read my question <3 really means a lot to me!
just quick note letting everyone know as a hobby project I'm building a little list app where i can save my favorite stock tickers/symbols into a list and see the price changes over time (through alphavantage's API) :D
Kind regards,
Milo <3 :-) -

CRYPTOCURRENCY RECOVERY EXPERT DIGITAL HACK RECOVERY
Fraudsters often use sophisticated tactics to scam people, pretending to be expert advisors in online trading. I experienced this firsthand with my trading account CR7(5673892) MT5. Initially, everything seemed legitimate, with promises of significant returns through expert advice. The fraudsters presented themselves as experienced traders, offering guidance on when to buy and sell, and their advice appeared to yield some profits at the beginning. This led me to believe I was making a sound investment.However, after a few successful trades, things took a worrying turn. The so-called account manager began pressuring me to invest even more money, telling me that without additional funds, I would risk losing everything. They encouraged me to deposit money into my account, making false claims that without a larger margin, I would miss out on potential profits. They even went as far as advising me to take out a loan on my credit card to fund the investments, capitalizing on my growing anxiety and desire to protect my initial investments.At this point, I realized something was wrong. The fraudsters continued to pressure me, constantly finding new ways to extract more money from me. They manipulated the situation, making it seem like my lack of additional funds would result in losing my gains and potential profits. But when I stopped investing, I saw that the balance of my account had become zero. It was as if all the money I had invested had disappeared without a trace. This left me frustrated, feeling hopeless, and unsure of what to do next.In my state of confusion and frustration, I reached out to a trusted colleague for advice. They recommended that I contact Digital Hack Recovery, a service known for its expertise in recovering funds from online scams. I decided to give it a try, though I was still unsure whether I could recover anything from the fraudulent scheme.With the help of Digital Hack Recovery, I was able to trace the funds and initiate a recovery process. Their team worked diligently, using their experience and tools to track down the scammers and recover a significant portion of the money I had lost. Thanks to their expertise and commitment, I was able to resolve the situation and regain some of the funds that had been stolen from me.This experience has taught me the importance of being cautious when dealing with online investments and the value of seeking professional help in situations like these. The recovery process was not easy, but with the right support, I was able to regain control and learn from the ordeal. Reach out to them through their contact info bellow⁚

Being a seasoned cryptocurrency trader, I always prided myself on my keen instincts and successful track record. However, even the most experienced can fall prey to greed and deception, as I learned the hard way. My downfall began when a stranger contacted me, offering an irresistible deal on Bitcoin. The potential buyer promised a sum well above the market rate, tempting me with the prospect of a substantial profit. Blinded by the lucrative offer, I decided to proceed without my usual caution. The deal seemed too good to be true, but I ignored my gut feeling, enticed by the numbers. The stranger posed as a legitimate buyer, and after several conversations, I felt assured enough to transfer a significant amount of my Bitcoin to the supposed buyer’s wallet. Almost immediately, things went wrong. The buyer vanished, locking me out of my Bitcoin wallet and leaving me in a state of panic. I had stored $120,000 worth of Bitcoin in that wallet. The realization of potentially losing such a substantial amount was a harsh blow. The scammers had not only taken my Bitcoin but also managed to gain access to my email and other passwords, putting more of my assets and personal information at risk. In my desperation, I remembered a friend mentioning RAPID DIGITAL RECOVERY, a service known for handling such crises. With nothing to lose, I reached out to them. The team at RAPID DIGITAL RECOVERY quickly responded, assuring me they would do everything possible to recover my lost assets. Through their expertise, they managed to secure my email and passwords, preventing further access by the scammers. More importantly, they were able to recover my Bitcoin wallet, restoring the $120,000 worth of Bitcoin that I had feared was lost forever. The relief I felt was immense; I had narrowly avoided a financial disaster. This harrowing experience served as a sobering lesson for me. I realized that even the most experienced traders could be blindsided by greed and that vigilance is paramount in the world of cryptocurrency. I now emphasize the importance of security and due diligence, no matter how tempting a deal might appear. Thanks to RAPID DIGITAL RECOVERY, I regained control of my assets and learned a valuable lesson about the dangers of greed and the importance of cybersecurity. I hope my story will serve as a cautionary tale to others in the crypto trading community, reminding them to stay vigilant and never compromise on security.
