Yes! I’ve listened to those. Having some of those episodes in an anthology TV series could be wonderful. Some even deserve a series of their own.

Then, you should be dandy. An alternative might be OVH? They don’t have a sale right now though.

No idea what else they make, but my experience with theirs graphics cards is enough to dissuade a purchase of any of their other products.

Go on then. Make it better, or make a better one.

Pointing out flaws is fine. Shitting on devs, is not, just like devs shitting on users isn’t.

Don’t be surprised if you attack somebody and they defend themselves.

Saying “X doesn’t work” is completely fine. Writing a rant about how opensource devs don’t think about people, yadayada. Buddy, these are people giving up their free time to write stuff. Nobody’s forcing you to use it. There are no guarantees provided, no warranties either. It’s provided as is.

The way you are is as if someone built a free house in the woods, you showed up and complained about how the door is creaky, the toilet leaky, a draft coming through the windows, and you wrote a review online disparaging the free work. Does that sound like good behavior to you?

Users can’t even add a feature request because they’re met with a storm of insults and snobbery.

How did you write the feature request? “I demand this be implemented because you’re providing a product and I’m a customer” or “It would be great if X were added for reason Y”? If it’s the latter and you were met with unkindness, of course that’s shit, no doubt.

But if it doesn’t make any difference legally as a deterrent, then I wouldn’t bother.

Once that’s determined, then yeah, I won’t bother either. Until then though… CC BY-NC-SA 4.0

onlinepersona,

Whatever suits your fancy.

The reality is, though, that everything is an evolution of something else.

As a kopimist, there is no problem with that statement. However, I do live in the real world where nigh everything is nuanced. I could understand a copyright on an evolution of Mickey Mouse that were recognizable as being inspired by Mickey Mouse, but different enough to be its own entity. Simply adding color should not be considered a copyrightable evolution IMO.

I tried it out one single time and it failed to install or update or something. Had to then find all the places it had inserted itself into in my system. Later I found out it’s based on some LISP variant. Even later I found out you can’t install firefox with it because of gnu or something?
That all combined dissuaded me from touching it again.

nix has terrible documentation, but it’s kinda worked for me, so I’m sticking with it.

onlinepersona,

What is this? Does anybody actually use it?

onlinepersona,

So it’s a fork of XBMC aka Kodi now. Does Kodi do this shit too?

onlinepersona,

I recognise those acronyms. They are from a bygone era my ancestors used to mention to me in hushed tones.

onlinepersona,

Both are inferior to IDEs when working locally on a software project 🤷

onlinepersona,

The dude on the right is some neckbeard who yells “RTFM” and “i use Arch btw ;)” IRL.

onlinepersona,

Then complaining that the license changes and gaslighting the group they steal from.

You’re right.

onlinepersona,

There are opensource chat options with no limits. Notably, Jitsi. No need to go proprietary.

onlinepersona,

Sure, create more electronic trash, why don’cha?
