If saying I think you should be considerate of the people around you during a compulsory social situation in a confined space with strangers makes me a reactionary Facebook grandma, well...my bad, I guess! Enjoy the revolution!
Given the current world we live in I do not want anything that I create or contribute to itself contributed to an exploitative corporation's bottom line (at best) without my consent or their assuredly begrudging reciprocation. This should not be controversial. The GPL accomplishes this. Nothing more lax or permissive does or will. You are not a cool or chill guy because you don't care what someone does with the code you write. You are handing all of those who would sack you the keys to the castle, ushering them inside. That is not abstaining, it's letting your opponents win. No thanks.
I use permissive licenses not because I’m a pushover, but because I really don’t care what you do with it.
The point of all of this is that you really should, no matter what it is. I'm sure there is something you would object to having been a part of; protecting your labor from contributing to that only makes sense. If you really have no problems with your labor potentially contributing to absolutely anything and everything, then that is simply terrifying.
I literally just want people not to blast their fucking music or videos from their phone speakers on my 1.5 hour commute in a sardine tin on wheels that I have no choice but to take to get my medicine. It's really, really, really not a big ask. It's not. It certainly isn't worth whatever this meltdown is that you're having about...being asked to not be loud around strangers who are compelled to be around you? What in the world is this?
Based on the responses in this thread I'm led to believe that "being in public" means you can do whatever you want without consideration for anyone else around you. News to me!
GIMP is a very powerful and important piece of software that I wish they weren't so obstinate about giving the worst name ever. I know it's just an acronym, but it is in effect the name of the project. I've taken to calling it GNU IMP instead.
Genuinely pretty cool stuff, and I don't like to compliment Valve very often. I knew another Steam controller would look like this, it was a no-brainer with the Steam Deck. I really enjoyed the first one, as someone with very bad nerve issues with my hands it was (still is?) the most ergonomic non-split controller, so I hope they've kept that sensibility with this one since the Deck itself is kind of a nightmare on my hands for long-term use. I guess we'll see. I hope you can use the split VR controllers with non-VR games. Their promotional video made it sound like you could, but I've never used the Valve Index so maybe that's always been supported. I think it's really funny they've brought back 'Steam Machines', that thing they tried back in 2012 or whatever and it totally flopped, but it's not going to flop now because computer software sucks so much and Linux is eating everyone's lunch.
My heart dropped reading this. She died as her husband held her, and for absolutely nothing. What an utterly evil, sick place this pit of a country is.
No one knew how to use computers at all until they learned. GUIs do not mean anything until you learn them, too.
Even that started as "abolish the police." That was too radical, so they went with "defund the police." That, too, was too radical, and turned into "fund them more, but include sensitivity training." The sensitivity training was not included; too radical.
It is truly impossible to make any kind of prediction for what will happen in the US because of this. I think a lot of people not from here don't realize how bad it actually is. It's really, really bad.
You are doing the thing right now. The other choice is "none of those things," actually, and you don't get that by voting harder because as you've just demonstrated you were not given the choice. Is any genocide acceptable to you? The line is never "less genocide," it is "no genocide."
