That’s is not what the problem is, lol, not by far. Nothing is a problem if you look at it in a short enough timeframe.

I’m not complaining about the few more people that discover Linux, I’m complaining that we are systemically introducing the same problems we want to get away from (“that the price is high/threatening”, especially now that desktop Linux is on a steady rise & we need such “”“endorsements”“” the least).

But “Linux” isn’t giving him any money either, surely. This argument breaks down because of that.

What? With influencers it’s what is monetisable in any current situation, what gets more views (and more money with that via various channels - atm “Linux” gives him revenue via selling ads etc to more people, if you offer him more money than that, he will sell whatever you say, that’s his profession). If a megacorp wants to get in on it they freely can. At any point. But it would be a lot harder to do that if we don’t/didn’t have professional ad-people (no background, just as the money winds go) intertwined from the “start”.
Financial power of a/any megacorps dictating foss just leads to monopoly again (eg how Google took over & is now closing more and more the “Android Linux”). And it makes it harder for projects to get support from “the people” vs “what is the most monetisable for some private entity”.

Overlooking that is akin to saying scalpers help redistribute the product. Technically, sure, so “what are you complaining abut, so cyclical.”

Talking about foss has literally become marketable. That’s the only reason professional influencers are talking about it now. And people listening to them will listen to whatever they say next too. And that (“money talks, bullshit walks”) is a bad future for foss which should be by it’s nature free of such incentives bcs it just becomes another megacorps monopoly.

Going into foss & financially rewarding corps that aren’t dedicated to open principles is just the current market situation (MS & Google) but with sparkles. It inevitably leads to more inequalities.

Not the way he eats it.

Monetisation & financial motivations.
That dude is no foss champion, at best just some user. If MS gives him money Windows & Edge will be the best

… and some of them have social anxiety …

… have the Feds not bombed a private residence for a long time?

I know of 1985 but I’m sure this is a more regular occurrence.

There must be a list, but I can’t find it on Wiki.

(To clarify if unclear, the explosives used in this case was to damage the door, not to bring down the building.)

It’s prob necessary to do something, even new ICE vehicles & new fuels are not the cleanest in India, but old ones prob really need to go, especially in a country with such pollution problems.

How to achieve that & why not boost public (city) transport instead, etc & why they decided to go this way can def be questioned - but that’s in all nations & at the end something still gets done.

I’m not driving in baseball sized hail. in my book that IS an emergency.

Never said anything against that.
Just pointing out that if that was true, you would stop by the side of the road anywhere, not seek an overpass & drive to there in ‘emergency conditions’.

Bcs this is what this post is all about.
Ppl stopping where they shouldn’t & in conditions they would just drive on if there was no overpass.

You wrote:

is full fuck off to another overpass

Why would you fuck off to another overpass if the conditions are dangerous?
If it was an emergency you would stop asap.

:‘’'(

I thought the exact same thing!!

No.

Anyone with a platform can do that.

(And from the little bits I’ve seen, mostly over memes & various news bits, the quality is questionable. Just don’t follow the whims of influencers, it’s not the correct way forward imho, it just inevitability leads to or spreads enshitification.)

But also just for fun:

:'(

Except if the crime was done against the rich/powerful, then it all gets done in 3 years or much less, including the media outcry and even finding a scapegoat if need be.

The system is designed to not waste resources on non-rich vs non-rich crimes whilst also providing an additional option for when the rich are the perpetrators (in case it gets that far).

Lol, America has a long proud history of punishing a lot of people with much less probable causes than ‘the drunk DUI having car owner in his own car confirmed/confessed drunk at the time the car hit the cyclist was probably driving the car’.

Edit: Oh - you were prob replying for the case they would all share the punishment, my bad - I was trying to say that there is a probable cause one of them drove & that the system should have chosen (the most probable) one. It 100% would if it was a high-profile case.

(Different definition/pov of what is measured, yes, that is where the joke is.)

Hehe, look at this falsehood - there is no way this things can talk!
(However imho this is a more clear example of ‘two different definitions’ of the main concept/phrase intentionally mixed together for comedic effect, bcs words can explicitly have more than one meaning, and yes, usually you can tell from the context.)

This pic is def:

This “fun fact” mixes up the two definitions, making the statement meaningless.

Or at least the merit part of meritocracy being an overall gain for society/foss space (same thing), not individual isolated achievements/products.

With that mindset of overall benefits you do move on from strict meritocracy bcs everything is a group effort, of not just direct contributors (but obviously mostly of them) but ultimately of all stakeholders (users too).

We all need to grow, and I think, given reasonable opportuneness, we do.

The food colouring they add to the orange juice (from those pods) makes it actually taste better!

Ok, so what counts as an emergency to use those lanes differs between countries … but it sure seems super weird to explain how “emergency due to hail” is only in the spot where there is no hail, and at the same time, right next to the overpass where it’s actually hailing, “no emergency” …

If you would stop due to hail under on overpass but not wherever else you would get caught in hail - you are stopping just to protect the car, not due to an emergency.

Hey, sexy bone-marrow pelvis, shake them atomic gains!

(OK, but like, if I produced synthetic plutonium I would make the box look like a chocolate box. Those workers & engineers deserve to have a fun work environment, engage in some shenanigans, make an oopsie from time to time.)
