  • There is also a group of people who cannot take a joke but I mean the people who would scream/yell, shame you, criticize you or call you a Nazi just for having an opinion you don’t agree with or so much as catching a whiff that you can’t yet empathize with their problems. Threats and acts of violence.

    You know it’s the youth that’s tipping the voter’s scales by in large because they’re not able to rationalize other people’s emotional damage including those of wing influencers and left wing doomers and blow hards.

    You agree? Do the work, or your the problem. Disagree? You’re a Nazi. Wanna just live your life? Complicit Nazi.

    There’s a thing in criminology called labelling theory. It transcends the idea of criminality. Combine this with a strong thrust of financial hardship and you start sinking ships












  • This is getting downvoted but honestly, “why?” This is a good question. Too few people understand why GPL licensing is important.

    A working “Linux” fork with a “do whatever you want we don’t care” license means that people can just take the code without ever attributing credit or contributing back. They can make their own proprietary kernels from this and dispense from the free and open source part. They would also be free to commercialize the software without restrictions and impunity. As it stands GPL3 in particular is restrictive enough to be considered “bad for business” but it’s also the only license that actually protects free software in court
