>Going full Stallman, au contraire, patenting, and by extension, commercialization, prevented open source/free software community from embracing this technology for long years.
goddamn. Old traditionalists try to stop the new tendencies until they cannot undo that unavoidable trend.
Even though they tried to prevent more the technological things that was piracy more than anything.

>Standards are good tho. Be wary of pic related tho, too.
the standards are always pretty derivative. Only a few minor changes happen and that´s it or are most likely patches of the original ones. The basic ones always stay and it would too big headed to think that one can create new ones unless they happen spontaneously around.
While it´s true that the brony fan sites keep a different feel in each place, it´s not because of the standards but more as the vibes created around the content users post and build around their content.

/endpone/ could perfectly just apply that picture and make it real for the lolz or whatever. However, everything has been invented so even if one tries to make those standards universal, there wouldn´t be much difference in the state everyone is in.
