"Some people living under an oppressive regime starving and dying during the winter" is hardly outrageous. It's been true pretty much as long as human civilizations have been a thing. For some, even the winter part has been o

This article's main point left me deeply confused. Isn't mostly men behind OnlyFans? And also aren't male performers in general paid significantly less than female performers in porn? I feel like things like that were deliber

This kind of posts are usually full of apologists of the big companies arguing about how the private companies are free to ban and delete the posts of whoever they want. There seems to be a dearth of those comments in this particular post.

So the answer to my question was "yes" then, thank you. I don't know what I would call that practice but it is not any kind of "open source circle of life". > It's a part of the product's life cycle t

Nothing is stopping you from using your own source available license. Mongo did it, and they're doing okay. It seems like you're arguing something different: You (general you) want the distinction and, more importantly, goodwill t

I'd replace mongo with redis in your comment. Redis truly is open core, but mongo no longer is. Now it's source available, and has been removed from the repos of many distros. Calling mongo open source now just dilutes what &quo

I fail to see how that in any way justifies the decision. Seems like the implication is that christians (specifically catholics) should just be okay with having their religion insulted if the decision was made by someone of a different cult
