Yes, it's clear that you don't believe the woman whose business was impacted, and choose to side with the VC-funded company that stiffed their vendors. You could just say that, rather than pretend to have a bunch of concerns abou

Your copy/paste doesn't apply to my comment, since I didn't assume you were incompetent, just that you'd made an overaggressive claim you didn't care to back up. Of course, a defense of systemd's comically brok

Can someone no longer run an emergency services PBX on Asterisk They shouldn't have been doing this in the first place. If so, what does that mean for the future of open source, and how come it hasn't been a problem until now?

If they are suspending accounts over the holidays, they need to have remediation available over the holidays. I'm fine being unkind to those taking away people's livelihoods over Christmas without notice or recourse.

They are having it both ways. A non-encrypted copy is preserved digitally within the Internet Archive, and that copy is made available, now, in the only way it legally can be. Once that copyright expires, the Archive can make the content

This is exactly the fight you should be having -- the government should be a universal payment processor. I agree wholeheartedly. I am arguing again the people who state that a corporation should be obligated to serve a non-protected clas
