#Firefox just decided I'm not allowed to run the Tree Style Tabs addon anymore. I fucking hate modern software so much...

@bonifartius@qoto.org This is what the "Learn more" text links to on the disabled addon: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-on-signing-in-firefox?as=u&utm_source=inproduct

It seems the overlords dont want you to have uncontrolled power over how to use their free and open source software. Fuck #Mozilla.

@dangillmor@mastodon.social So pardoning your family and allies at the last second is okay, but doing it upfront is evil?

@sun@shitposter.world The Internet does enable content more free than Television, YouTube doesn't. Just get out of those walled gardens to enjoy the wide open fields for you to post whatever you feel like.

@graf@poa.st @sun@shitposter.world The only real difference really is just the number of people, and given how the average person is literally retarded, its easy to spot that there are more retards online. It is true, but the good places continue to thrive if you look for them, it's likely that's why you sought out the #Fediverse too.

I don't want the endless stream of shit to flood this way, that's why I don't want things like Facebook joining the Fediverse. But if I see people having issues with their current proprietary platforms, I can at least advice them it doesn't have to be this way if they truly want something different and better. It is our duty to inform those who aren't aware, but are definitely willing. Those who aren't willing will just ignore us anyway.

@dushman@hollow.raccoon.quest Best girl

@sun@shitposter.world @raccoon@hollow.raccoon.quest @dushman@hollow.raccoon.quest I hadn't heard of Mitra before, but it looks decent from a first glance, and low system requirements are always good.

I'm not too sure about the "paid posts", but I think having a free and open source means of supporting content creators or developers is a good thing in itself. I would be more positive about it if it supported more than just one cryptocurrency meme though.

@raccoon@hollow.raccoon.quest @sun@shitposter.world @dushman@hollow.raccoon.quest Call me a sinner all you want, but "crypto" currencies are currently just memes, and I suspect they'll be for a long time.

@aral@mastodon.ar.al You'd be amazed how many people still defend Mozilla and their bullshittery 😕

@mint@ryona.agency Oh no, he got me too!

@mint@ryona.agency Users continue to ask for support on 6 month old versions of Bottles (no joke)Imagine if all software installed on your computer for over 6 months just stopped working all of a sudden, not because there's anything wrong with it but just because it was "too old" for modern developers to comprehend.

@dcz@fosstodon.org Just self-host your repositories using something simple like git-instaweb or cgit, those should be able to handle repos with such names just fine. All these extra fancy modern UIs are more limiting than necessary compared to "hey here's a patch over email enjoy" and a simple web interface that simply does the job and get out of the way.

@nishi@hkgk.nishi.boats You don't need to be sorry for understanding that X is still superiour.

@davorg@fosstodon.org Just don't use #GitHub at all, problem solved. Setting up a little static website on a 2eu/mo VPS works just as well, and keeps you in control just fine.

@bonifartius@qoto.org @amszmidt@mastodon.social @ramin_hal9001@emacs.ch That is correct, I did ask him to fuck off after repeatedly asking him to not imagine my thoughts for me, which he kept on doing. I tried being nice about it a long time, if that consistently doesn't work I have to reconsider the way I'm going about this.

@ramin_hal9001@emacs.ch Imagine being an obnoxious retard for a dozen posts spread over the course of more than a full day, and then get upset when someone finally just calls you what you are.

If you expect reason from the other party, how about starting being reasonable yourself for just a moment.

@ramin_hal9001@emacs.ch I also still see nothing that actually answers it. You only argue on one particular point, and not very strongly if I may be so blunt. The existence of that function on itself is not even argued against, only a context in which it applies, and even then its still on a ridiculously strong assumption on your part, made only to fit your narrative.

@ramin_hal9001@emacs.ch So now you claim you can write GPL-licensed code even if the GPL license never existedI can definitely write free software without the GPL existing, yes. Don't start moving goalposts, now. I am simply saying you have political views that you do not realizeI know my motives, and they are not purely political, I've explained this several times. Your attitude in simple ignoring me when convenient doesn't change this, it just makes you a very annoying person to interact with.I have ever not made up any backstories either.You've done so consistently, feel free to read back through the thread.I am only saying you have a political point of view, even if you don't realize or acknowledge that you do.I realize that I do, I have said so before, but your wild delusion that this must mean I do everything for political reasons is plain stupid. Stop ascribing your ideology onto me to further your desires.And so, if you ever meet someone who disagrees with your political point of view, you could end up accusing the other of bringing politics into the discussionI'll accuse people of bringing politics where they don't belong if they do so, yes, which seems to be a hobby of yours of some sort. You spend a lot of effort to bring politics where there aren't any. Again, I suggest you stop doing that.I would very much appreciate it if you could at least acknowledge that this is in fact a political point of view.It can be, but it isn't always. It isn't in my project Bashtard, no matter how hard you wish it for it to be so.

Seeing as you just keep on doing what you enjoy most, make everything political even when completely unnecessary, and continuously dream up delusions about my intentions in an effort to have some grand argument which, when taken to its logical conclusion, simply devalues the concept of "political" to nothing, I will repeat that there is no value in talking about this topic with you. Unless you start actually discussing substance rather than delusions that I have told you various times were not in my mind, I wish you goodbye. You are exactly the kind of person that will ruin a good, functioning project by forcing retarded ideas of politics into it for the sake of attention.

@ramin_hal9001@emacs.ch But if you think you can write free software without the legal framework of copyright existingI can write code without any law existing for it. I can publish this code and tell people "you are free to do whatever you want with it". While the free software movement was borne out of a need against extremely dumb copyright law, the idea that one can only make free software because there's laws in place, is fucking dumb. Free software, the politics, is certainly a thing due to law, but free software, the software, is just software which people share freely, which the user can use in any way they see fit. Your sad attempt to conflate the two at all costs simply shows your ideology is ingrained into everything you do, and you cannot let anyone exist that doesn't ascribe to your viewpoint. Its sad, and its incredibly annoying that you simply cannot ever let go of your ideology, and you must at all times dream up hidden motives no matter how many times any person tells you that they did not have them.

You think this is about law now for some reason because you're forcing your beliefs into it which make everything political, which again completely devalues the meaning of it. Whenever I take a shit I don't think about the politics of my shit, similarly how I don't think about how I can overthrow the government when I wrote the config subroutine for Bashtard.

Lets take the meaning of the word "political", first definition to be found on DDG:Of, relating to, or dealing with the structure or affairs of government, politics, or the state.My little side projects do not relate, nor deal with the structure or affairs of government, politics, or the state. You will argue they do because they have a license, but on the other hand, you will also argue they do if they don't have a license, so in the end, the license I chose or do not chose doesn't matter, therefore it is not a useful argument to have. Besides that, the license is not part of the code, but you seem completely unable to get that point, no matter how often and explicitly it is said.

Kindly fuck your retarded ass away from me.

@ramin_hal9001@emacs.ch @amszmidt@emacs.ch @carmenbianca@emacs.ch the world "apolitical" may mean "without politics" but in practice it is just a term used to describe situations where there is no political disagreement with the status quoI strongly disagree. It makes no sense to accept a word has a definition and then immediately say you use a different definition just so you can have an argument.

The code I submit to projects, and code I accept from others, is not political. They don't come with any caveats that I must agree with a certain viewpoint, or that I expect someone to perform certain perfomative actions. I am political, and perhaps I start or contribute to projects because those align with my political viewpoints, but the code and the projects themselves are not political in any way. If you bring politics into my code (through comments, for instance), you're clearly projecting your views in the wrong place. Go start a political party for that stuff, I just want good quality code that fixes a particular problem I'm seeing.The reality is that politics is always thereIf everything is political all the time, the entire notion has 0 value to speak about. Nothing is special by being political anymore in that environment, since everything is, all the time, without exception.
