Ivermectin suddenly seems like a viable cure

They’re not exempt from marketing. I am. I only use proof-of-use from those around me.

I don’t think it is. I know a few people like this, and im heading in that direction myself. The only kinds of “ads” that work on me are when a number of equally nerdy people I know find a new thing, and they’ve demonstrated that it has helped them with something or they are genuinely enjoying using it. Like 3D printing. Its semi-pointless most of the time but it is a genuinely fun hobby, which when combined with 3D modeling and post-processing skills becomes an actual craft. I didn’t get into it until a good number of people around me did.

The fossify apps are legit, I use them daily.

This is the same or similar situation as OpenOffice → LibreOffice or OwnCloud → NextCloud (and to a lesser extent but more similar scenario, Audacity → Tenacity or various other forks).

This is what true open source looks like in action.

People are always angry and confused when i call MIT a grifter license

“All I want for Christmas, is youUuuu!”

Wrong. This is operational security warfare. China, Russia, and every adversary should be holding the same attitude towards us if they’re worth their salt at protecting their internal national assets.

It doesn’t matter that its Chinese people by blood, its Team-U vs Team-C.

Now, the shitbags crying about this probably are doing it from ill-intentioned positions and are most definitely racist, but while their broad intentions are evil, this is one of those cliché “broken clock right twice a day” moments.

They support web browsers

I wish we would all start switching over to JSON for configuration files. It’s so much easier to parse, and you can’t screw it up with too many spaces or not enough.

No you’re supposed to rice the hell out of your Arch install, put an anime girl wallpaper, some form of neofetch replacement (RIP), and post screenshots about it while wearing programmer socks and loudly telling people how good arch is and how much their distro sucks.

Then complain about how you broke it and can’t fix it because you used archinstall thereby skipping the setup and recovery lessons, and didn’t read the wiki before updating.

You are allowed to charge money for open source.

Its the recipe that makes the food you’re eating that would need to be publicly available and free to redistribute.

PirateSoftware vs a pack of rabid carebears would make for excellent entertainment.

I feel like I’m the odd person out, using Arch like most people use Windows. I play games, do taxes, shop online, and do very minimal customizing, mostly just in KDE settings.

It’s a shockingly stable system for how “bleeding edge” it is.

I heard this in HabitualLinecrosser’s voice

Like the TempleOS guy?

Here’s a listing of all of the visa corporate critters

If you can get ahold of their contact info via LinkedIn or business listings, maybe try calling them directly for answers since their service desk can’t seem to give us any.

Why are we not calling the CEOs and other MBA/c-suite goblins directly?

This is some Grade-A whataboutism right here.

Of COURSE the people in that group chat deserve punishment, and probably the same 20 years that French(?) guy got depending on who all did what.

Just because that happened though doesn’t excuse that this happened. The company did a horrendous thing by holding onto highly sensitive and private data it said it should have deleted and then failed to secure it in any way, AND the userbase was absolutely vile and abusive towards men.

All three things need to see justice brought to them, and you should not excuse one just because another happened and wasn’t dealt with properly.

Both the company, for failing to protect its users; and a large majority of its users, for doxxing and libel.

Its unfortunate that it happened this way, but now the people who are being libeled against and doxxed have the ability to find out about it where they didn’t before.
