So Ubuntu is adding ads inside the terminal?

I mean I would not be surprised. They injected the Amazon services into their distro for many years now.

You want me to sound like a broken record? When you trade something, even when it is about Open Source Software/Hardware, you'll become a little or a big charlatan. You will try to deceive, lie, exaggerate, and so forth....there is no way around it. When others cheer for Open Source Software, I am not excited. I do not care as much. I care if the software is Open Source but also Trade-Free, meaning it does not want anything from you. Not your currency, not your data, not your attention...

We need to remove these really bad incentives! And trading is a practice that will make humans fuck things up. #tromlive

Oh wow, ads on the terminal? WTF?! 😱

People should understand that open source software isn't a silver bullet for everything. Proprietary software is a problem, but trade is a much bigger problem. And arguably even proprietary software is a direct result of this trade based society where developers are forced to trade their software in order to make a living.

P.S. you forgot the hashtag #TradeRuinsEverything

I do not think that will make any difference honestly....unfortunately. It is true, it trashed the Amazonian rain-forest and all that is connected to it. His business is the opposite of natural/nature.

I agree it is awful....but it won't change anything if I personally would stop referring to Bezos' company as Amazon.

I understand your point. Maybe I'll try to do that. Thanks for reminding me about this.
