Stop Doing Proprietary Software

STOP DOING PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE! • The source code was NOT supposed to be hidden. Years of hiding yet the programs still suck! • Wanted to hide the code anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that. It was called "not redistributing the software"! • "Yes please give me a private app where nobody will be able to see what I'm doing, except the entire FBI." - Statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged! LOOK at what the proprietary programmers have been demanding your respect for all this time, with all the open source libraries and pieces of code we've built for them! This is REAL software made by REAL programmers! ???????? ???????? ???????? "Hello, I would like a locked down OS with no way of installing apps from the outside please!" They have played us for absolute FOOLS!

The meme mocks proprietary software programmers by contrasting their demands for secrecy with the fact that their products rely on open-source libraries and code. It shows screenshots of a graphics editor, Windows, and iOS, each labeled with question marks, then jokingly asks for a locked-down operating system with no external app installation. The punchline is that the programmers are portrayed as hypocrites who have fooled everyone into respecting closed software.
