>everything is open source if you can read assembly

I think you don't understand the source part of open source

Low Level?

well once you put the borderline unreadable assembly* together, yeah.

* assembly can be, in fact, readable

Assembly and machine code aren't the same thing.
Programs are generally not compiled into assembly.

>>105770273 (OP)
No.

>>105770273 (OP)
Fuck you.

It takes too long dibshit to actually pick through the hex with a decompiler even when you get proficient. Possibly AI could solve in time to make all software open source but then we are gonna need a shit ton of documentation.

>>105771311
Yeah, this, I reversed the ecu in my Jeep and going line by line and writing comments on what the 68hc11 assembly is doing is very time-consuming. Even for trivial shit like alternator duty cycle and key on fuel pump prime took along time to find then figure out.

you know that ai will eventually be able to decompile anything in seconds

>>105772112
or just be able to read machine code magically

You're falling for the falsehood that freetards want open source on principle. They don't.
They want open source so you can steal your code and put it in their shitware.
It's that simple.

>>105770273 (OP)
As I said yesterday when you posted this word for word: freetards don't want open source on principle, they want it so they can steal your code and graft it into their shitware.
Decompilation and disassembly doesn't achieve this goal - and they're too stupid to do it anyway - so like everything they're incapable of, it's ebil/stupid/backdoor/bloat/whatever word they're using for "me dumb" these days.

*hallucinates*

i am ui ux designer and i want to learn low level/assembly language

>>105770273 (OP)
open source is the license. Even if the code is available like FUTO apps, Brave or leaked GTA source codes, it doesn't mean these proprietary software are open source. These all are closed source, proprietary software and you can't compile the binaries 1:1 and the end result will be different than the official binaries.

If you would use source code from proprietary software, you would be sued.

Ghidra/IDA's C decompilation would blow your minds.

>>105773878
Actually, decompilation and disassembly does achieve this goal.
What do you think how we get cracked versions of your proprietary shitware?

>>105776680
I did use Ida to disassemble. The source was written in assembly, so turning it into C would have been madness 14,000 lines of assembly with hand tuned spinlocks.

>>105773878
Imagine being wrong on two consecutive days.

Reminder that autists will decompile n64 games but won't decompile Adobe photoshop to port to Linux.

>>105770273 (OP)
.......Except the documentation.

>>105770273 (OP)
I unironically don't buy the whole "a reasonably motivated person will reverse engineer your application and your protections won't help". I don't even add any protections or whatever, but that phrase is clearly bullshit, no? Most devs aren't dealing with state actors here, various retarded obfuscators probably do make someone give up on reverse engineering.

???

>>105770273 (OP)
I know this signature, i know what you posted. Federals have been informed.

>>105780297
It already works perfectly on my macbook pro. Why the fuck would I bother doing it for an OS where nobody can agree long enough to make any apps worthy of use? You can’t agree on a desktop, init system, sound server, etc so why the fuck should I bother?

>>105781290
They don't even need to obfuscate anything, compilers do black magic in the optimization process. Imagine decompiling photoshop, you're not going to see "goto resize_image" you're going to see a bunch of esoteric memory manipulation that will take an academic paper to fully understand.

>the only difference between machine code and source is the lack of comments

>>105774903
You can go to https://scratch.mit.edu/ , it lets you assemble things and is probably in line with your skill level.

>>105770273 (OP)
>assembly
just learn to read binary

>>105773878
Make me want to pay, nigger. I've donated to free projects, I've donated to paid projects, I've donated to good causes. When I see a dev doing God's work for years and years and he never complains about his shit being pirated, I donate to that dedicated soul more than his software costs. Those who complain deserve to be reverse engineer raped.

>>105770273 (OP)
can someone explain this image to me? like, why is the basedjak being erased? or is it just adjusting its glasses?

>>105770273 (OP)
the point of open source is the legal ability to fork and share source code.

>>105772112
2 more weeks until AGI, trust the plan.

>>105774903
Go look up 6502 assembly, its way simpler than modern stuff, but most of the same fundamental concepts, and its what NES games are written in. Same goes for Z80 and the game boy.
