Remember that your existential fear and collapsing society must not distract you from contributing your labor to the progress of the torment nexus.

Stay professional.

It's another day to tap the sign.

@foone You can use a m2m cord and a f2f one to make a regular but longer extension cord.
🤔

Tell me again how #GenAI will extract meaningful trends from and answer queries about your data set.

@foone I mean YOU are not saying it

Look, if a community uses rainbow colors for their logo in support of Pride Month and LGBTIQA* folks, and you object to it because this is not welcoming of all "religions" and beliefs and cultures, and how this makes you want to disengage - how do I politely put it?

You're the *other* target audience for this signaling. And it's working.

@torvalds Sure, unfortunately this will be used to reduce the investment into and availability of vaccination programs even in regions where resources need not be so constrained, for political expediency.
And often, such "guidance" becomes "rules" and vaccine access is denied, unless one pushes back significantly.
If this had a sentence "it likely benefits everyone, or does at least no harm, but we don't think it's worth it for everyone" - fair.
But it only ever includes the second part.

Lovely, the #WHO recommendation for #Covid19 #vaccination is primarily driven by "cost effectiveness and opportunity costs", because why should an individual's health be paramount.

@webmink @msw @lightweight @osi They may not have redefined the legal meaning, but they've definitely managed to narrow the perception of "normal" Open Source: that's now Apache, maybe MIT.

Anything else (AGPL terrifies users even) is considered "zealots only, unusable if it can be at all avoided, don't use for new code".

Libertarians; freedom is only desirable if it can be lopsidedly exploited and doesn't commit *them* to anything.

@StephanWindmueller @danimo Once you hit one of the limits of Firefox, there is no alternative to chromium anymore.

(e.g., I use it on desktop still, but can't on mobile - the Android SSL/TLS support is insufficient, and they're not able to fix it since literally a decade. And it's outside my skill set too.)

That's the complaint: Mozilla has not done their core job. Unless someone like the EU throws money at the problem, the monopoly engine has won.
