If I take a GPLv3 shower, that means the water has to be open-source, the resevoir has to be open-source, the Earth's water cycle has to be open-source.

People are 75% water give or take, so people have to be open source •~•, if people are open source then any plants fed by nutrients of corpses have to be open-source, the whole biosphere will end up being open-source.

Damn, how to open-source the entire planet in 1 easy step, take a libreshower people!

Oh wow, so the schematics are published, the repair procedure is documented and you can 3D print the parts yourself? Sign me up for the open source shower!

Oh you thought open source meant sharing your secrets? Nah it's actually more common to see secrets in the code in closed source projects than in projects that were open source from the start. In open source software, you need to set your own PP_SIZE as an env var or provide it in a .env file or keyvault.

There has to be a way of turning this into a copy pasta and I will do every effort to make it happen

Do it, it's just spreading knowledge

If showers were free and open source, I'd use one.

Can we use it together? We could fork

[-] mrmhm@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I'll merge after we fork

I can also upstream some genetic code if you want some

I dunno. Pretty much the only thing that isn't open source would be the shower head, pumps, and water heaters. However, those technologies are frequently out of patent, with the "user interface" aka shower head being what is actually proprietary but, that is optional.

Modern pipes are made of copper and/or PEX. The plans for the plumbing are generally public records. Seems pretty open source or at least "source available" to me.

Water itself has rather well-known atomic "source code" of one oxygen and two hydrogens.

What even would "closed source" water be?...

Well played.

[-] crashoverride@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Dude said shower, not the components that make up the shower

[-] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago

Dude said open-source shower. That implies access to the knowledge required to recreate it, thus, the components that make up a shower. I demonstrated that most showers could be considered mostly open-source or at the least "source available".

I don't get it.

[-] mossy_capivara@midwest.social 4 points 1 year ago

Do you use linux?

[-] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago

Yes

[-] Limitless_screaming@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago

The joke is that Linux users don't take showers and don't care about hygiene. The "free and open source" part has no actual meaning.

[-] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

I've never heard the idea that linux users don't shower.

[-] Limitless_screaming@kbin.social 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's not just a Linux thing; it's a joke about nerds in general or chronically online people being too invested in whatever they're doing like: playing video games, arguing on/moderating forums, or reading books and never taking time to care for outside things, including themselves.
