Trump took a LOT of money in gifts from China while in office so I would guess they like him
Edit to add source. There are lots more articles, this is far from the only one

Yeah I was thinking more of a paid service, I guess more like Nebula then Netflix, since Netflix just shows TV shows and movies made by big companies. I don't mind paying for things if they're good things, and I know the right people are getting the money for it.
Idk, for me, the game "sparked my imagination" -- but my imagination and I would go to my room with photos of actual people.
Ok I should preface by saying I think ancap is dumb and having a slight disagreement with what you've said does not mean I'm not defending them. They're asshats.
But: imo, anarchist thought escapes definition. There's no such thing as anarchism (in the sense of an agreed-upon political philosophy), only anarchists.
Readers of Rene Girard might describe coersion (insofar as it's a natural result of hegemony), as a sort of force of nature, like violence, that, if society doesn't find a healthy way to express, will come out sideways, in ways that are anti-social.
I'm not sure if this is what that person meant, but, usually it's on the original development team to handle outreach and building the identity of the software - in Lemmy's case, they have a bit of a not-great reputation... Even if they had the reach, that reputation hurts.
Having Mozilla - or any top tier foss-friendly company - kinda take the reins a bit would probably be good.
She was brutalized and humiliated specifically because of MWWS. To cite that phenomenon without context reads like they're trying to shame people for being disgusted by disgusting behavior. It's as if, because of the existence of MWWS, we shouldn't feel concern - when, the reality is that the reason MWWS is a problem isn't because people care too much about white women, it's because people care too little about non-white women.
A more useful invocation of the MWWS is when a non-white woman is brutalized and no one seems to care, not when it's a white woman and people do.
The point of equality isn't to treat privileged people worse, it's to treat underprivileged people better.
This exactly. All the things they've bought they've slowly started pushing towards monetization, away from users.
Old Microsoft was specifically fighting Bill Gates's personal crusade for IP law; now that his influence is diminishing, they're seeing the dollar signs that are written all over the phrase "free code."
("So I can just.. take it? And.. sell it?")
The paradox has never been a problem for you.
Some people find the paradox of tolerance to be unhelpful because it seems like it's making an excuse for intolerance. And to be fair, the paradox phrasing doesn't provide hard boundaries - intentionally, I think, since the extent to which a statement is intolerant can vary - and intolerance in response to it should be commensurate. But for people who tend towards black and white thinking, it can be a problematic explanation.
The social contact version is much more clear cut: the metaphor of contract law is binary, and contains the image of the neutral "judge" which is helpful for black and white thinkers. A person either is it is not in breach of contract. It lacks nuance, which is good and bad.
Essentially, the core idea is the same: tolerance is the expected foundation; intolerance is abnormal and not ok. But whichever expression works for you is probably better.
Editing to add: the contract version, with its appeal to the Law and judges etc, is objective, which is helpful; the subjective nature of the paradox means that it can be weaponized - and it is, often. Tho to be fair the people who would weaponize it would probably weaponize either version - as it has been, multiple times in this very thread.
Gin is closer to gif than gift?
Except in gift which is the linguistically closest word to gif
Also, don't misunderstand English: as the hybrid of two very different language sources (Germanic and Latin - among many others since), there are basically no rules that don't have exceptions.
I think the implication is that pursuing Linux development has a high opportunity cost, that, if they just bought into Windows as the foundation, they could've used that time to build HL3 or whatever
It's reinventing the wheel, kinda
Chicagoan here, chiming in: I saw this guy like 4 times on my way to work this morning.
