The big difference today is that they're trying the same shit on protocols and platforms that allow you to block anything you want, so it's an arms race between blockers and DRM enforcers. Eventually, they'll just split HTTP

Which non-dumpster news outlets are there? Just about every big name can be counted on to spin in favor of their owners' political aims. Fox News and friends are obvious propaganda. I've not been impressed with CBS, NBC, CNN, WaPo

Thank you for the thorough reply. It took some time to have the opportunity to return the same respect. Perhaps I'm not 100% in the group you're referring to, since I'm not really looking to get RH code or packages for free,

I see where you're coming from, but some governments also recognize "natural" or "God-given" rights, recognizing there are powers higher than they are that grant privileges or capabilities considered sacred . Grant

> What I don't get is the fuss. What do you mean by "fuss"? Left to interpretation, anything not aligning with your view could be classified as fussing. I don't use RH so it doesn't affect me personally, but they

This is precisely why I turn a skeptical eye to any standards efforts. Just like with law, if you control the spec, you control the ecosystem.

Violence isn't a market, and continuing to parrot that nonsense gives a false credibility to forces which amount to efficient bullies that entrenched themselves by enslaving or genociding native populations. None of us signed actual so

Yes! There are few things as pleasant as having no subscription services to worry about. Bills are plentiful enough as it is, I'm in no hurry to add to them. I love one-time purchases.

So, in context, the recipient is the purchaser of a RH support contract, and they would argue that it should be ONLY the recipients who receive the source? The primary problem I see here is, a purchaser is receiving source in return for the

This is kind of a weird take unless you're some corporate lacky. Where does the GPL only refer to users? Isn't anyone supposed to be able to get access? The AGPL does, for certain; it's what I license my work under to ensur

You're right, by trusting any outside source for a dependency, you're still dependent. But as you noted, there's the option of adopting the software yourself and injecting it as vendored or something similar. Proprietary does

Have you considered people who work a job because they are forced to by market forces, or court orders? It's disingenuous to assume we all have a choice of where to direct our labor. If that were true, nobody would work for bad employe

Can you be more specific in your criticism wrt disabled people? It's a lot easier for someone to receive feedback when it's specific, especially when discussing something like a README. It can be helpful to others reading who are

One gains a lot of benefits by building with libre or permissive software. Proprietary software comes with licensing fees and sometimes complex DRM systems that need maintenance. There are totally situations where both are the better tool f

I want to thank you for sharing this story. I've struggled with my own THC addiction, using it as a crutch for trauma and anxiety, but your comment helped me realize that, like your roommate, the addiction has wrecked my ability to (re
