is there public awareness that isn’t advertising?

yeah I’m usually the ‘I will make your machines stop using you’ friend. which is probably why I’m so bitter about people putting up with this shit.
your gf is kind of a tool and needs to crack or replace her TV.
I’m pretty sure the corporate property rights say you’re not allowed tho.
so maybe laws are fucking stupid and you do it because if basic human dignity or something?
well, they just picked up one follower.
Yeah only garbage people use anything else.
When every decision is made by people alienated from every material or functional concern by like ten layers of abstraction, all decisions smell of recent severe skull deforming head trauma.
We are, but, like… Just preferring something else doesn’t make vim unimpressive. Silver medal’s still pretty fucking prestigious, you know?
Really the only way.
I wish enough people had a spine that it wasn’t necessary.
its worse now
Your friends are correct.
Please write this code and I’ll do it tomorrow when stuff opens today.
people in this thread are arguing otherwise
Okay so talk to one of them about it. I’m with you on this part. So bizzaire.
The report of the bug is not the problem. The prioritization, reasoning for the prioritization, and demand that it be fixed quickly for their product launch was the problem.
The fact that when asked, they offered pay for a spot fix rather than maintenance, essentially abusing the Commons for corporate profit, and being super fucking rude about it, was the problem.
So you need to hack it and violate warranty to make it work? And this is just fine? On a product you paid for?
They made a demand, based on a product launch time line. This is absurdly rude, abd basically treating open source like slave labor instead of commons.
The problem isnt that ms was using it The problem is that ms wanted special treatment for free because of their timetable, which wasnt even ‘oh shit everything broke’ but for a fucking product launch as if the maintainers should care about that, treating a fucking charity like a contractor, and really highlighting how all this proprietary bullshit can only exist because of the work provided by open source people.
Microsoft needs to see serious consequences from the open source community for this.
Need to add a ‘not for use with Microsoft products, including operating systems’ clause for a version or two.
Its not the same sort of thing. Kathy whoever the fuck doesn’t have friends who put people in oil drums, and AFAIK has never attempted a fascist coup.
If you wanted to hang a bloody hyper realistic effigy of Jojo burning in a tree, your statement would be true (except for the tree. be nicer to trees)
‘natural rights’ okay so why are they right(s)?
