Not a counter argument, not supposed to be one.

For me it’s less about bringing change and more about not giving money to people/corpos I dislike. It’s not perfect, I for sure don’t have a 100% success rate, but I feel better spending a bit more at a company that is probably fine instead of at Amazon and co.

I don’t expect any one company to change because of this, let alone the system. It’s just out of my own volition. I can’t avoid trading with companies and people in general, but I can choose who I trade with.

EDIT: Perhaps it’s because I’m under the impression that shitty corpos will do shitty things with the money I give them, so by not spending my money with them I know that I won’t be funding whatever it is they’re doing personally. Does it make a difference if I alone do it? Definitely not. Do I still feel better knowing I didn’t just directly fund something awful? Kinda

But why do they have the shape of Japan on their logo?

In a regulated market this sort of thing would be called “insider trading” and is highly illegal, usually. Then again betting on unregulated “markets” is just asking to be ripped by people with insider info

Librewolf also lets you use Firefox Sync, you just have to enable it in the settings first. But yeah, I use Waterfox on mobile because Librewolf has no Android version

I honestly feel nothing while listening to it. It’s not exciting, it’s too uptight, uninspired. Mozart just wasn’t daring enough. Even for his time, most of his pieces kinda blow.

Edit: Listen to Shostakovich’s Piano Trio No. 2 (especially the fourth movment) for comparison, or Prokofiev’s violin concerto No. 1, any of Dvorak’s symphonies, …

I am a classical (non-classic classical) music enjoyer, especially of the late romantic and modern periods. The classic period is just boring on account of being formulaic, and imho Mozarts music sounds incredible boring, even for classic standards. Maybe I’m also biased because one of my neighbours plays Mozart all day every day with an open window and it’s slowly driving me insane

I’m a Mozart hater and have to say Mozart is also very formulaic. Fuck the classical era of classic music, it’s boring as hell

Doesn’t windows eventually shut down every hour when you don’t activate it? Or is that just their shitty development VM that does that so I have to reinstall it every 30 days?

C++ devs would literally do anything before using Rust

Sure the dev doesn’t owe anything, but he is actively putting in the work to remove existing support. Instead of just doing nothing he is sticking it to the linux user by removing support

Edit: I don’t see how removing your own, working PKGBUILD will prevent people from installing broken 3rd party packages and complaining about it in your project.

Then explain to me how the bazillion other open source cross-platform Windows-first projects do it. Dropping support for Linux moving forward is fine, but actively going out of your way to remove the existing support is petty and just an asshole move. Especially when paired with a license that restricts 3rdparty packaging.

Also “this doesn’t work” is a bad reason not to invest the 3 minutes it takes to make an issue template, and it will already decrease the amount of packaging related issues by at least something

Seems like a skill issue on the part of the dev. GitHub lets you create issue templates and even forms. He could have made it so that every issue creator is warned that packaging issues will be ignored and closed without comment.

“We tried nothing so far and are going for the nuclear option first”

when right wingers use words like “deregulate” they actually mean they want to regulate it so it fits their agenda.

We already went through this in Germany, where gendered language was deemed “ideological” and “prescribing how to speak”, despite there being 0 laws requiring gendered language, and at least 1 order actively forbidding it. Talk about “prescribing how to speak”

1. not all of us are american
2. your entire browsing history was already being tracked before AI was a thing

complaining about AI being (sometimes dangerously) wrong is valid. we don’t need more technology polluting the internet with misinformation
