Money may not be able to buy everything, but it can buy wholesome. I want more money now.

The fuck are you high? Even microsoft, google, and meta support or have their own OSS projects. Apple just used someone else's work as a base and doesn't contribute to anything, what are you defending here?

I would 100% use this HPL-v2 for all of my (temporary) foss projects. It's just genius. I mean, good luck keeping track of the current owner, Nintendo lawyers.

The XZ topic was way more complicated than that and overly exaggerated by some people. Open source is still the closest thing we have to "safe by default".

Still, as someone else stated, if you're not hosting it's not truly open source as you can't really verify the actual code running behind the server.

The mere presence of a cop, even without a visible weapon, will escalate any situation regarding mentally unstable people. Period.

If you don't understand why a person going through a crisis would freak out when a figure of (ultimately violent) power appears right after they picked a weapon you have a serious problem with basic empathy.

For the record, I haven't had any bad experiences with cops, in fact every interaction I've had so far has been either neutral or actually pretty nice. I've had my fair share of breakdowns as a teenager tho, and I can assure you that a cop would've never helped a single time. Even the nicest one.

Everything is open source for this guy after using this simple trick. Big techs HATE him!

If they require at least a 71yo, assuming the person started working at 16 and has dedicated their entire life to develop software without ever touching management positions, ... At what age does people retire in that country??

That's the thing, most desktop distros come with a web browser preinstalled, but:

  • It's usually firefox or librewolf, which are objectively superior to edge in any scenario.
  • You can uninstall it right away with either a three word command or open a program with a big red "uninstall" button, no console needed.
  • Nothing breaks, the system literally doesn't give a fuck if you even have a web browser at all.
  • If you want another browser then go for it! You can even use edge if you're a psychopath. Your system wont judge you, but i might sorry-
  • It will never reinstall crap you uninstalled and set it the default on a random mandatory system update.
